Lyrically Peaking: Live Licks

This live album is definitely one of the Stones better ones, with many highlights > including a rousing rendition of soul classic Everybody Needs Somebody to Love > originally by Solomon Burke.

There’s also versions of soul ballad That’s How Strong My Love Is > made famous by Otis Redding > and blues standard Rock Me Baby.

The two soul songs were on early Stones albums > and Rock Me Baby an addition to the Stones catalogue.

Rock Me Baby

Rock me baby, rock me all night long

Rock me baby, honey, rock me all night long

I want you to rock me baby,

like my back ain’t got no bone

 

Rock me baby, honey, rock me slow

Yeah, rock me pretty baby, baby rock me slow

Want you to rock me baby, till I want no more

> this is a blues standard with uncertain origin

All lyrics by Mick Jagger/Keith Richards, except where otherwise specified.
