RIP the great Charlie Watts, Stones drummer for 50+ years.

I can’t hear this song without thinking of the funeral scene in “The Big Chill.”

Mick Jagger and Keith Richard met as teenage schoolboys waiting for a train. Mick was carrying a Chuck Berry album; Keith saw it and struck up a conversation. They discovered their shared love of American blues. The rest is, well, history.

Man you've just tapped into another world of bad ass music. Beast Of Burden, Honky Tonk Women, Paint It Black, Wild Horses, Jumping Jack Flash, Sympathy For The Devil . ..sooo many more

Keith once said that lots of drummers know how to rock...Charlie knows how to roll...never a truer word my dudes...never a truer word.

The amazing thing about this song is the dueling choirs. The Stones combined a traditional English boys choir with an American black church choir. Both choirs singing together at the end is what makes this song so special.

Mick Jagger is 80. Keith Richards is 80. Ron Wood, the baby of the group who joined in 1976, is 76. Charlie Watts was 80 when he died in 2021. Bill Wyman retired from the group in 1993 - he's 87. Those still alive and not retired are still performing and producing records. This is their seventh decade of doing so.

A Choir, French Horn, and a Honky-Tonk piano in Rock n' Roll... these guys were genius.

This masterpiece was composed by a couple of guys in their 20s. The use of the choir was a stroke of genius. Who would have thought that these kids could envision such a complex piece of music and bring it into existence.

Music in the 60's and 70's totally unmatched today. So glad I was there. Thank you for keeping it alive!😂

My favorite era of The Rolling Stones is from the 60's. I loved the "Flowers" album. They had a lot of great early hits such as "Ruby Tuesday", "Paint It Black", "Get Off Of My Cloud", "Let's Spend The Night Together", "Satisfaction", "Jumpin' Jack Flash", "Honky Tonk Women", "Gimme Shelter", "Tumbling Dice", "Brown Sugar" etc.

These words seem to be more powerful now from Mick, now a senior citizen & ALL his senior citizen fans. We were always fans of the Stones for about 60 years! We may have all been smokin a little weed now & then...but we were clear enough to know Mick & the boys were gonna makin it BIG ❤

Thanks for playing the Stones. My favourite band for over 60 years. Try Gimme Shelter.

“Can’t you hear me knocking” - one of their best.

Can’t believe they’re still touring at age 80! 🤯

I'd sing the chorus to this to my first graders when they whined about what they wanted or didn't want. When they started rolling their eyes I'd play it for them, then I'd never have to sing it again because they always did.

They used a boy’s choir and it gives me chills every time.

The siger is definitely the best ROCK SINGER OF ALL TIME, the one and only..... Mick Jagger!❤

I'm always brought back to the opening scenes of the movie The Big Chill, by this song. I won't give anything away. You would probably like to watch it! It's a classic from our time.

Honky Tonk Woman is the brilliant acoustic version off of the same album, Let I Bleed. The album is sheer ecstasy!

One of the countless reasons they've been making music together for 62 years! Can't wait to see them live again this summer! ❤🎶

Years ago, when my two daughters were in elementary school, this song played on the car radio. Upon turning up the volume and announcing these were the Rolling Stones, they asked me how I knew. "Because their instruments sound all jingly-jangly and the music sounds great." In 2021 when they were in their thirties, I took them to a live Stones concert in Tampa.

This song was written performed and produced during what is arguably the most prolific output of music in rock and roll history by any one band. From Beggars Banquet to Exile to Let it Bleed to Sticky Fingers to Exile on Main Street (and Get yet Ya Ya’s out) - it just doesn’t get better, and I doubt we’ll ever see anything like it again.

This album does not disappoint. All the songs are killer.

I used to sing the chorus to my kids when they asked me for something I couldn’t afford. I was a single divorced mother.

Angie was always a favourite of mine. You can hear the sadness in his voice. It’s slow and heart felt.

I was more of a Beatles teenager. But I decided to lift this album from my sister's room one day and give it a try. I was sold.

I've been listening to this song for nearly 50 years (sorry, only had AM radio growing up) and I get goosebumps every single time when the choir and the organ peak and the drums kick back in...just the damn best thing imaginable.

Charlie Watts was, without a doubt, the very engine room of this band. He was the heartbeat and spine. That's why is astounding the hear this for 50+ years and remind myself, it was actually Jimmy Miller that ran the drums with such skillful, delicate, brutal precision. I was deep in the Stones music by 1983, and listened to this tune about 100 times before I found it that, although it sounds exactly like how Charlie would play it, it wasn't him. But the theme remains here, with all the Stones music...the hidden element that makes it all go, is in fact the drums, not the guitars. Damn this tune is just monumental, it has surpassed the era in which it was born and has risen into the very thin air of indispensably legendary....

The Stones hired the London Bach Choir for the backup which was outrageous at the time because of the drug references, "I knew she was gonna meet her connection". I'm sure it was the first time the Choir sang with conga drums too! ☺😆, and you Rock, Bro! PJ

It's your personality and calm demeanor that make watching your show such a pleasure.. Your music picks are perfect.

You have six DECADES of songs to catch up on. Too many to list! SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL, GIMME SHELTER, SATISFACTION, CAN'T YOU HEAR ME KNOCKING PAINT IT BLACK and so many more!❤

I'm glad you listened to the studio version including the choral intro. I was floored when I found out there are people who _hate_ the choral parts of the song. It's so beautiful. Thanks for the reaction!

Can't You Hear Me Knocking, is the song you need. Trust me.

I love watching you because it makes me appreciate the brilliance of these songs all over again 😊

There are so many good songs from The Rolling Stones. Endless hits. I’d recommend “The girl with far away eyes” or “Honky Tonk Woman” or “Paint it Black.” Any song really.

Keith Richards was a choir boy at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.

I always, always get chills listening to this song. I love the choral work in it.

More please. Try “Wild Horses”!

Pretty big band? I think the best band ever. Their catalogue is so vast, it's insane and they have been going since the 60s and still are. That's amazing talent along with dedication to your craft.

They have been playing for 60 years! Get ready!!!

This just has it all -- structure, looseness, grit, choir. It's just inspired. ••• Thanks! PEACES!!!

Hey there. I have been a fan of the Rolling Stones since the mid-1960's, am 75 years old, and have seen them live three times. I'm very pleased you've discovered their music and highly recommend that you attend a concert soon, as they are touring now. This song is fabulous on stage. Rock on, brother.

Mick actually met Mr. Jimmy at the drugstore the morning after a concert in Excelsior, MN. It is Mr. Jimmy who made the comment "you can't always get what you want" when they were out of Cherry Red.

“Can’t You Here Me Knockin?” Is fire baby!!

“Ruby Tuesday” one of my favs and “Angie”.

Stones, Mick & Keith, both 80 coming up on 81, have a new song that they, as always, co-wrote, called "Angry" that was nominated for this year's Grammys. It's from their new album, "Hackney Diamonds". Best new Rock n Roll song, 2024, written bt 2 almost 81 yr olds! Great rock n roll with never die as long as those 2 have breath in their bodies.

Glad you have gone back and can appreciate what you missed from the 60’s and 70’s. Best music ever!

The Rolling Stones are one of the greatest rock bands of all time and still performing. I have seen them live several times and they were always fantastic. Thank you.

As a stoner burn out ex classic rock drummer I give a GIGANTIC grin EVERYTIME you react to songs I grew up on. Watching you discover what I’ve known for decades (that music will NEVER be that good again) warms my heart!! Keep doing what you do brother and remember, music is the great equalizer. PEACE!

Hey Polo. I was a massive Stones fan at 14. My nickname was Stones. Every album prior to Some Girls is awesome!!!

The Stones always interjected a hopeful, energetic energy in their music. They are still my favorite bands of all time! They were SO COOL!

Saw the Rolling Stones in concert many moons ago ...outdoor venue and watching Mick own the stage was awesome! This one takes me back.

HI POLO GREETINGS FROM ENGLAND 🇬🇧 AND THE ROLLING STONES ARE A WORLD FAMOUS 🌎 AND ICONIC ROCK BAND WHO HAVE BEEN PERFORMING FOR OVER 60YRS AND ARE STILL GOING STRONG AND STILL TOURING AND MAKING ALBUMS!!! THE LEAD SINGER MICK JAGGER IS AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND AND EVEN AT 80 JAGGER IS STILL GOING STRONG AND HE GETS BETTER WITH AGE!!! YOU SHOULD CHECKOUT THE ROLLING STONES SINGING " I CANT GET NO SATISFACTION" LIVE AT GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL AND THIS PERFORMANCE IN FRONT OF 3OO,OOO FANS IS A MASTERCLASS OF A PERFORMANCE AND ITS SO WORTH WATCHING SO MORE ROLLING STONES PLEASE POLO.

Nicky Hopkins on keys I believe. Fantastic session keyboard player. Admired by many musicians.

13:36 You say a lot of bands weren't American bands. That's true in rock. The British gave us most of the best bands in rock. I don't know why this is, but it's a reality. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, the Beatles, and the list goes on and on. It's amazing, really. 3

Easily the best outro in any Pop Song.

IMHO The Stones reached their absolute peak as far as songwriting with Let It Bleed. My absolute favorite album by them.

Thank you for reminding me of how transformative it was to hear this the first time. Great reaction, Polo.

The Rolling Stones came up w/ The Beatles in the 60's, and even though they never had the one phenomenal record that sold through the roof... they became the biggest band in the world by scoring hit after hit, decade after decade... until their audience transcended multiple generations and grew into this massive fanbase worldwide. "You can't always get what you want" was 1 of their biggest singles from 1969. The Rolling Stones were formed in London, England in 1962 by Mick Jagger (vocals), Keith Richards (guitar) and Brian Jones (guitar)... the original line-up w/ Charlie Watts (drums) and Bill Wyman (bass) were soon playing gigs as a cover band. After The Beatles were signed and became stars by 1964, it was The Rolling Stones who were picked up to be the next British sensation... Releasing mostly cover songs, The Rolling Stones were marketed as the 'bad boys' of British rock (even though they were all prim & proper London boys, while The Beatles were the tough kids from Liverpool. However, The Rolling Stones needed to make their own hits... and soon discovered that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were a potent songwriting duo, especially after their original single 'Satisfaction' became a huge hit in the UK and USA in 1965 ... Jagger and Richards would write all the band's original hits and were nicknamed 'The Glimmer Twins'. By 1968, The Rolling Stones were a live attraction and actively touring after The Beatles had stopped touring in 1966... but the alcohol and drugs were affecting guitarist Brian Jones, who left the band in 1969... Tragically, Brian Jones was found dead that year, drowned in his own swimming pool... Mick Taylor (guitar) replaced him in the band. As the 70's began, The Rolling Stones saw more hit records coming - the album 'Sticky fingers' in 1971... 'Exile on Main Street' (1972)... and the band was a strong concert draw on tour (but found themselves behind Led Zeppelin in popularity, if not media coverage) ... Mick Taylor left the band by 1974 and was replaced by Ronnie Wood (guitar) who had played in a band w/ Rod Stewart. 'Some girls' (1978) became the Rolling Stones' biggest record, selling 6x platinum in the US... but even w/ the 80's starting strong w/ the hit 'Start me up' in 1981 and the album 'Tattoo you' becoming a hit, The Rolling Stones were falling apart internally because of a rift between Jagger and Richards... After a stadium tour for the album, The Rolling Stones did not tour for the rest of the 80's as Mick Jagger looked at a solo career. Thankfully by 1989, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards finally made peace and completed a new Rolling Stones album 'Steel wheels' and returned to tour... However, original bassist Bill Wyman left the band in 1992; he was never replaced - the band enlisted session players on the albums and tours afterwards... The 90's saw The Rolling Stones getting bigger than ever w/ the albums 'Voodoo lounge' (1994) and 'Bridges to Babylon' (1998)... Their album 'A bigger bang' (2005) was another top 5 charting record... The band went to their roots w/ a covers album 'Blue & lonesome' in 2016. Charlie Watts (drums) passed away in 2021... The Rolling Stones have been touring w/ session players and released their latest album 'Hackney Diamonds' in 2023 and announced a major tour for 2024.

I've heard many, many of these songs, that you react to, many, many times. I find that your fresh, genuine reactions give me FRESH, NEW GOOSEBUMPS at exactly the right times in the songs.

First, I cannot hear this song without thinking of my Mother singing this to me when I asked her for something and the answer was “NO” 😂. Who are The Rolling Stones? Musical geniuses. I have gone back and forth with myself as to who is better; Zeppelin or the Stones, and for me it’s the Stones because of the variety of sounds and eras they have; I could be on a deserted island and survive musically with just the Stones.❤. My favorites: “Can’t you hear me knocking”, “Monkey Man”, “Miss You” GREAT reaction, Polo!

Who would have thought a boy's choir and the Rolling Stones would sound so wonderful! Musical geniuses.

I wasnt much of a stones fan until recently. I am 60. They are amazing.

One of the greatest songs and recordings in history...

I saw them last year in concert. They are still rocking just as hard as 60 years ago!!

During the English Invasion of Bands, American Blues, Gospel, and Country were drawn upon frequently, by British bands! We got long hair here stadium concerts and great music ! RJG

‘Sympathy For the Devil’ is a must listen

Just an interesting note, Mr Jimmy existed, he was from Excelsior, Minnesota. Mick and he met there on their first tour. The parts about the drug store , the cola, and the line , you can't always get what you want, came from that meeting.

True ICONS of rock n roll. The Stones have been relevant from the 60's through the 80's and beyond.

Yes, this is a masterpiece. The Stones have a lot of those… check out Midnight Rambler.. dark , foreboding but that same incredible building to a crescendo. Better yet… they are touring again this year… probably the last time to North America. Do yourself a favour and go see them live… you will never forget it.

I love your reaction to these songs. Thank you for the smiles.

Brilliant song. One of the best ever !!

Can't Always Get What you want but you get what you need....told my kids.

Stones do all the World, look a globe.

All of their music is fab. I think you'd really enjoy Can't you hear me knockin!

One of those rock songs that never gets old. When a bunch of my friends who are musicians get together and play this song is always on our rotation. I am a singer, so I love belting out the chorus! The arrangement of this song is amazing. One of the best builds ever. I don't know if it was Mick who came up with having that angelic choir starting the piece and coming in later but it adds such a unique flavor. Thanks, Polo!

If you get a chance watch Havana Moon. It’s a recording of the first rock concert in Cuba after the Castro take over. They recruited local choir for this song. The Joy on the faces of the audience is worth the time to watch

I didn't think that was a "cliche" until they wrote it and sung it. 😊

Next up listen to Sympathy for the Devil , Honky Tonk Women , Brown Sugar and Street Fighting Man. Then you’ll be hooked on the Stones for life. lol

The Stones are famous for that slow build. "Exile on Main Street," their best album, has almost no hits, but it is an absolute masterwork, almost a slow build in itself. A truly complete album, a double album that is a singular listening experience.

An iconic song from the Stones, one of literally dozens. Pure fire.

Good one dude. I DJ between bands at a festival in the U.K. called the Green Gathering, & a young guy came over & asked for a Rolling Stones tune, most of their tunes are louder, faster & rougher, I knew the next band were a quiet folk band so I played this as a message to the guy, him & his friends loved it & all sang along. For the other Stones tunes try "Ruby Tuesday", "Paint It Black", "Get Off Of My Cloud", "Let's Spend The Night Together", "Satisfaction", "Jumpin' Jack Flash"

One of the best songs ever. Dead Flowers should be a priority Polo.

Gimme Shelter Painted Black Ruby Tuesday Street Fighting Man She Smiled Sweetly My favorites by the Rolling Stones

The Stones have so many amazing songs, but Sympathy for the Devil simply required listening.

Fell in love with this song watching the movie Big Chill!!!!

Stones songs that I love...Winter, Moonlight Mile, Parachute Woman, Till the Next Goodbye, Stray Cat Blues, Stop Breakin' Down...man....I could go on and on and on........lol

Stones did everything, Beatles.

You are listening to genius personified. You've commented on the poetry of Paul Simon, the lyrics of Jagger/Richard's falls into the category. Amazing stuff. Hard to believe the band has been together 62 years and is still active.

One of the best songs ever.

Oh snap! Hallelujah! Cracked me up😂

SO GLAD you did this incredible song!!!! Yes, it most definitely *IS* a masterpiece. DEFINITELY listen/react to "Sympathy For The Devil," "Gimme Shelter," "Honky Tonk Women," "Wild Horses," "Miss You," "Beast Of Burden," "Emotional Rescue," "Start Me Up, "Undercover Of The Night," "Mixed Emotions" and "Love Is Strong."

can't you hear me knockin - rolling stone solid gold

🎼Ah yes! 1969! From the “Let it Bleed” album! I’m old, like the Stones.😁☮️💟🎼

Yes!! Play more Rolling Stones! Incomparable.

Their stand out song for me this when i saw them 7 years ago in UK, they extended it n extended n i broke down crying yup you cant always get what u want sadly 😢😢😢

You must listen to the Rolling Stones song, “can’t you hear me Knockin”. It’s off of their album called sticky fingers.

Brilliant song. It has a spiritual vibe...and it's about an addict practicing her addiction....incredible juxtaposition.
