Ian Stewart was the sixth Stone.
I think that any actual member of the Stones would tell us that, though Bobby Keys has been around close to forever and holds a legendary place within the hearts and souls of the band and it's fans, he's still just a hired musician.
An interesting question would be to ask why Mick Taylor's replacement had to be English yet it was OK to replace Bill Wyman with an American. What changed in the thinking of the band in the time between Taylor's departure and Wyman's?

Stu was the 2nd stone actually, Brian the 1st.

Sure it's a great song & all that, but shouldn't it be Mussel Shoals instead of Muscle Shoals?

No I meant when they originally named it, they got it wrong. Shoals are mussel-laden, not muscle. No?

As Wild Horses was basically recorded live in Muscle Shoals Dickinson can hardly be called the producer. All the overdubs were done in London under the direction of Miller, so he is rightfully named the producer.
I never heard of Wayne Perkins playing on WH but there could be a mix up: there's a great version of Wild Horses with pedal steel guitar by Sneaky Pete Kleinow (I actually prefer this version of the released one), but when this version came out through Jimmy Miller it was stated that Al Perkins was the pedal steel guitar player.

He did not only get Wayne Perkins wrong, but also Jimmy Johnson. It was Jim Dickinson; in house engineer and pianist who assisted them.
