In 1960, an extremely gifted 18 year old musician named Brian Jones created a blues band that he named…. The Rolling Stones.
Jones brought in a brash young singer who defected from the London School of Economics, named Mick Jagger, along with Mick’s childhood friend, guitarist Keith Richards, to mold the core of the outfit.
The trio lived in the Chelsea section of London, in what Richards fondly referred to as a “beautiful dump.” `Jones and Richards played the guitar incessantly, listening to the music of blues greats Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, and Wille Dixon.
During those days in Chelsea, Jones taught Jagger how to play the harmonica. Jones was the leader of The Stones in those early days, pushing the band hard to breakthrough in London’s burgeoning music scene of the early 60s. His amazing ability to adroitly play nearly every instrument was invaluable to the sound of The Stones over their first 5 studio albums,
Jones’s versatility helped navigate the band artistically- protecting them from being pigeonholed when the popularity of psychedelia began to fade in favor of other musical trends. The Stones first blast on the singles chart in the UK, was their cover of Buddy Holly’s “Not Fade Away,” which climbed all the way to #3 in Great Britain.
The band’s first #1 was another cover- when they remade Bobby and Shirley Womack’s “It’s All Over Now” in ’64, followed by their first big charter in the U.S.- “Time is on My Side” that went to #6 also in ’64. Of course, The song that really positioned The Rolling Stones down the path to superstardom was “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.”Even though, Mick & Keith didn’t like the finished version of “Satisfaction,” and wanted to re-do the track with a heavy horn section, the pair were outvoted by the rest of the band, and the single was released with historic results.

When “Paint it black” came out I was a student nurse in Germany. We lived on campus. There was a lot of building and rebuilding going on. The people who were my age temporarily were reassigned living quarters in an abandoned hospital wing. We were not happy campers! In order to mollify us we were told we could paint the furniture any color we wanted. (They we’re going to throw them out after a year anyway). We sat there discussing this, and I sang “I see a red door and I want it painted black”…… then I thought about it, and sang “I see a white door and I want to paint it red”….. and that’s what we ended up doing. We got cans of candy red glossy paint and turned everything red, all to the soundtrack of The Rolling Stones! I think about our painting party every time I hear “Paint it black”. A wonderful memory!

Here's my "Paint It Black" story: I was stationed at Thule Air Base in Greenland from 1967-68 and "Aftermath" at the time was my favorite album. One night in January of '68 I was listening to "Paint It Black" in my headphones in my room (you had to use headphones to keep from bothering all the other guys in the barracks) when my chair moved. I took my earphones off and stopped the record to try to figure out what had happened. Later that night, when I went to work (we worked rotating shifts in the comm center) and learned that a B-52 with four H-bombs had crashed seven miles from the base on the ice of North Star Bay. The impact was actually enough to move my chair. That is what I think of every time I hear "Paint It Black."

I have wondered, as great and recognized as this song is, would it have been even bigger if it was the only song the Stones ever did? The Stones were pumping out hit after hit. Sometimes, a great song would be remembered even more if there weren't other songs, by the same band, that either overshadowed it, or simply became clustered within a list of great songs by a great band. Songs like "Eve of Destruction" or "My Sharona" were one-hitters, but those songs remained huge over the years, yet IMO, "Paint It Black" is a much better song.

We were lucky enough to get tickets up in the nosebleed seats at Soldier Field for their Chicago shows in 2019. I thought it might be our one and only chance to see them, and, sadly, that was true. They gave us a great, solid two hour concert and Charlie got big ovations from the audience. That was June, and around the end of August was his last stage appearance. This may not be the end of the Stones, but it is the beginning of the end. Charlie was the keystone, no pun intended. I think he is simply irreplaceable and I can only be grateful to him and the Stones for their long lifetime in music. Cheers and condolences to you and to all of us.

In '77 I actually pressured my father to buy a couple of Beatles and Stones albums..I played those songs from the Stones compilation LP Hot Rocks 1964-71 (which I've still got in my library) incessantly at the detriment of my school homework....😂😂😂😂 I was mesmerized by Paint It Black a track not only different from any other Stones track but which i perceived as having an exotic "Arabic" inflection. Even today, it remains one of my favorites ever songs on a par with Good Vibration (Beach Boys), I am the Walrus (Beatles), Jumping Jack Flash, Satisfaction, Gimme Shelter, Lucy in The Sky with Diamonds (Beatles) and We Don't Get Fooled Again (The Who), and of course the Doors' "Got to love your man" ( It's Not the real title, though) 😄😄😄Again....

He was a country music fan Parents weren’t into our rock and roll music back then so I took my stereo into my room in the basement shut the door and played my music to my heart’s content. All the music I have listened to over the years from the 60 ,70 , 80s there was never before or after a time like 1966

Very well chosen song, because: The melody and chords alone are absolutely satisfying. The Stones had several lives, but the original format around the mid-sixties had this very unique mix of R&B, ethnic and old music that I will forever prefer to almost everything they did afterwards. With Brian, it wasn´t only rock´n´roll. It was original and it was magic.

Paint it black was in Keith's term " You've got to shock them ,show them ,being musically and defiance. The Stones had far more of these hits than any other band . Songs like "Get off my cloud " , Satisfaction" , Street Fighting man " ,but of all that Shocked me any many was "Sympathy for the devil " . I was about 12 when it came out, nothing like it and how it turned the page the sixties.Without " Paint it black " and the previous songs of thiers they would've been more than censored they would've been strung up , but that wouldn't have stopped them, ecpecialy Keith .

"The Last Time" was their first original composition that went to the toppermost of the poppermost. Their incredible string of fabulous singles in the 60s made them superstars before that term was invented. Satisfaction was and is one of rock's greatest songs/records but it was preceded and followed by other similarly excellent songs/records. Jones' contribution to the RS was priceless. His riff in The Last Time, IS the song, what made it work and shot it to the top. For me, "Aftermath" is the RS's highest achievement in the 60s and would not have been so without Jones's brilliant contributions. Such a pity that he was apparently not psychologically suited for stardom and the hectic, demanding life of a successful pop musician.

The Stones' "The Last Time" was a rearrangement of a Civil Rights anthem by Anthony Hamilton and the Alabama Blind Boys, not an original.
@Glicksman1
@Glicksman1 3 года назад
@@FreemanPresson Well, using that definition of "an original", virtually no song is original as they are virtually all (and you can eliminate the "virtually" without committing an offense against reason) taken and/or highly influenced to the point of similarity from a previous song. To this there are a few exceptions, i.e., many of the Beatle's songs appear to have no discernable precedent. However, in this instance, Anthony Hamilton and the Alabama Blind Boys' version of the song is in no way similar, except for the phrase "This may be the last time, I don't know", to anything in the Rolling Stones' song. Was the RS's song influenced by earlier versions of the song? In 2003, Keith Richards acknowledged this, saying, "We came up with 'The Last Time', which was basically re-adapting a traditional gospel song that had been sung by the Staple Singers, but luckily the song itself goes back into the mists of time." So, it was The Staple Singer's and not Hamilton's version of an old, traditional gospel song that influenced the RS. Countless artists have more or less re-adapted traditional gospel music to Blues, R&B, and Rock and Roll, one of the more prominent of these adapters being Ray Charles. In the RS's song the verse lyrics are totally original, none of which are in the previous versions of the song. The chords are entirely different as is the beat, feel and arrangement (I know, these things are not copyrightable), the melody, even in the chorus is entirely different as well. I hear no strong overall influence of previous versions of "The Last Time" on the RS's song except that The Staples Singer's version is closer in the chorus, but that is all. In fact, there is no similarity between the RS' version, really an original song in every way (original melody and lyrics) and previous versions of it, titles notwithstanding. I invite anyone reading this to listen to Hamilton's, the Staple Singers', or any other Gospel version of this song and to decide for themselves. Recordings of the Rolling Stone single of "The Last Time" credit "Jagger, Richards" as the sole writers and they received the artist's share of the publishing income. This has never been challenged as far as I know.

@@judycolson6047 I agree (with everyone else) that without Jones there would be no Rolling Stones as we know it. However, virtually every article and discussion about BJ includes in a large way full credit to him as the originator and leader (for a while) of the band. His musical contributions are likewise credited, and they are many. His overall brilliant musicianship, as well as his astounding ability to play virtually any instrument without any formal study or even much practice on it, was phenomenal and is also roundly celebrated. He was not "a weirdo", at least as I understand that perjorative term. I'm sure you meant no disrespect. He was a progressive, super-talented, imaginative, creative blues and rock musician without peer. However, as is true in too many instances, his personal problems and his basic personality were not well-suited for fame, stardom, and adulation. Celebrity looks so nice from the outside but is as much (or more) a curse as it is a blessing within.

I was in Vietnam in 70-71 and we would always play painted black before going into the jungle because we knew we were going into the darkest place ever on earth to think that any moment my life would be black without life I lost many friends that I grew up with and went to HighSchool with and their names are on the Vietnam Wall may they rest in peace with God. Every time I hear Paint It Black I go back to 70 71 Vietnam with the blackest and darkest of my life I'm 72 now and I still remember those days and I cry a lot and suffer with cancer from Agent Orange it has not been a very good life but God gave me the strength to keep going on and in Jesus Christ name I can say that I made it thanks 2 the Rolling Stones for that song painted black the greatest band ever rest in peace Charlie. I also listen to the Motown sounds and being Hispanic I hung around with a lot of blacks in Vietnam and also my Hispanic friends we went into the jungles hand-in-hand. No one can take my memories or the death in Vietnam, it will be all gone when I die that'll be the day they bring me home from Vietnam. To all the kids from Vietnam and I say kids because we were kids fighting in a terrible War they made us old men. To all the Vietnam veterans God blesses and those Vietnam veterans that went before us may they rest in peace. To all military personnel God bless and God bless America amen.

Right. Brian was in seventh heaven when the Stones first recorded in the Chess Records studio in Chicago in '64 with Muddy Waters in attendance. Hindsight being 20/20, Brian should have left The Stones immediately after the "Aftermath" album and returned to the London blues clubs scene to assemble a new band. But a girl I know who knew him well said Brian lacked confidence that he could actually do it. Tragically, he stayed and grew bitter, frustrated, drugged and drunk.

I still think The Rolling Stones lost some magic when Jones left the group. For sure they made classic records like Sticky Fingers and Exile, but with Jones he gave the records colour and texture with his use of exotic instruments like the sitar and interest in other musics from around the world. This was lost after this leaving.

For those of us who were present and accounted for at the Genesis of the Stones, as I was, there is no doubt Brian made a unique and valued contribution with his multiinstrumental abilities. But, he could not write and he became a bastard to work with. Then, he inevitably became Impossible to work with when he Really Overdid the Drugs & Booze. Fact. As a musician in a duo for 31 years, that sometimes expands to a 4-piece band, I can tell you from experience that fans really just focus on the hits, the exploits, the live scene antics - and only rarely realize what difficult, Tedious and soul-wrenching WORK goes on in the background to make the magic happen. If you are in a band, are truly Serious about your career and future, you simply CANNOT work with somebody who is fucked up on drugs and booze all the time. Studio time is Expensive, the whims of the public and the demands of the industry are relentless. If your chance comes up, as it does Only for a few, you must grab it and give 1,000 percent, every minute, hour, day, to possibly make it. Fact.

I agree. It's my personal opinion that is very strong. There was an earthy otherworldliness that compelled me to love them. They were the first band on the pop charts with songs about abject grief, prescription drug addiction, dissatisfaction with life, the devil, and civil unrest... all before 1969... and not before blowing our minds with Ruby Tuesday and She's a Rainbow.... After that, they became a different band. They made some great songs for sure, but none that moved me in the same deep way that the Jones/Stones had done...

I was already a Stones fan with Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass - 1966) and, inspired by the Beatles was already learning how to play their songs by then. When they released Paint it Black, the lead singer of a band I knew was playing at a graduation party I attended, he knew my voice because we often jammed together and thought I sounded very close to Jagger, so asked me to sing the song. It was a major hit of the party and gave me a huge boost in confidence. The first time I ever thought I might be suited for singing and performing publicly. Thus, this particular song has an indelible mark on my life.
