LEX IS PROLLY ONE OF THE HAPPIEST WOMEN IVE EVER SEEN ... YOU GOT LUCKY BRAD!

[melvinkoch]

Lex, you were born out of time. You have the spirit of a 70's teen.

[jamespembleton]

Lex, that is a tenor saxophone. Classic sound in blues, jazz and early rock-n-roll. Still used today.

[LynnThompsonAuthor]

This was a total party song, back in the day! Surest way to fill up the dance floor. Nobody really thought about what it meant, or cared, it was just great to dance to!

[genov]

This was recorded in Muscle Shoals, AL, thus the funky beat. Check out others recorded at Muscle Shoals - Percy Sledge (When a Man Loves a Woman), Clarence Carter (Look Away); Aretha Franklin (I Never Loved a Man Like I love you); Boz Scaggs w Duane Allman (Someone Lend me a Dime); Wilson Picket (Mustang Sally); Etta James (I'd Rather Go Blind) and hundreds of others. Muscle Shoals studio musicians had their own unique sound.

The stones are great for writing really provocative and honest lyrics that then navigate away from just enough clarity for anyone to really define enough to attack. That to me, is real art art. At a time when it was a lot less ok to be in an interracial relationship, at the end of the day, this song helped make it be more ok. And to me, I feel that's a good thing. Rock songwriters today use the same method of provoke and maneuver. But once you figure the lyrics out to a Stone's song, your faith in humanity is more likely to be restored, whereas contemporary artists are more likely to make you lose faith in humanity.

When you know the song and you just wait till it dawns on them lol.

And brown sugar "I don't think it's a love story" is quote of the century for me.

[tinastanley]

Beast of Burden. My dad always loved that one from the stones. He passed from covid this January. ❤ love how Lex gets her vibe on. 🎶

[bert]

Lex puts more into one song than I've got energy for a whole week. Jim

Brown Sugar was written about Jagger's girlfriends Claudia Lennear and Marsha Hunt. Both women claim that the song was written about them specifically.

[James-wjeq]

Tina Turner performed this live with the Rolling Stones. At the time she said it was a well written account of a dark time in history, that no matter how uncomfortable, cant be ignored. And they told the story so well accompanied with a great rock n roll tune.

[danjoda]

See Duke's comment below, he's right. The song was always said to have been inspired by either Claudia Lennear, one of the hottest, best backup singers in the business, or the lady who mothered his first child. No, it's not a love story, it's a riff on interracial relationships. And yeah, the sound was kind of a "homage" to older rock and roll style, where there was usually a strong tenor saxophone solo. Great pick guys, enjoyed this one. 🌲⛄🎅🌲

[drlecter]

HELL, BACK IN THE DAY, WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE WAS SINGING...

[ZEPnALE]

I think I read that Mick Jagger was inspired to write this after hooking up with one of Ike and Tina Turner's backup singers.

[richardlee]

"SWAY" by the Stones is a great song with the great "Mick Taylor" as the lead guitarist.

[jamesmoritz]

I think Brad is so cool! Unlike most reactions channels, Brad gets right into it by saying, "Let's get right into it". Most other channels talk for a minute or two while you leave the talking to mid stream or the end. Keep up the good work! 👍

[donnabruhn]

The Stones should never stop doing this song

[Trifler]

I looked this up after watching your reaction and according to an article from CNN Entertainment, Mick Jager said of critics "Didn't they understand this was a song about the horrors of slavery?" It was released in 1971. He said he would probably censor himself from writing it as of 1995.

Keith Richards said he hopes society will be more accepting of some version of the song in the future.

[quixote]

"Brown Sugar" was about getting "Some Sweet Loving" from your Afro-American Sweetheart. Young Black Men first coined the Phrase back in the Early 1960's.
Another GREAT Rolling Stones "Funk" Song is "Honky Tonk Woman".
This British Band loved to sing about the Women in New Orlean's... Apparently, they had a GREAT TIME there!

[georgediperna]

These guys are so good. Got to be in the top 2 greatest bands of all time. 8 number 1 hits, 10 number 1 albums, and 28 top 10 singles.
