I've read some years ago "The true adventures of the Rolling Stones" in english and I've just purchased and finished to read the french translation published in 2012 of it which also become now "Dance with the Devil" and include some black and white pictures.
Nothing new indeed in the 2012 book , but I'm just wonderin' about a track that Booth mentionned as played by some of the STONES which is called "Bad Boy". Any idea fellow connaisseurs of the origin of this track. Is it this Bad boy or somethin' else ???

Bad Boy was also covered by The Beatles, and is one of their best covers. It smokes, especially Lennon's vocal. They really made the version different and unique to their sound:

Stones covered She Said Yeah which was B-side of Bad Boy

.....And in life Larry Williams really was a bad boy ....

That video was pretty cool. Thanks for posting it.

Larry Williams was quite a Bad Boy. He hung with Little Richard and scored dope for him, and they had a falling out involving a gun and led Richards to get back into Religion. Williams was a pimp, and involved in the underworld, but wrote some incredible rock n' roll. Boney Marony, Dizzy Miss Lizzy, She Said Yeah, Slow Down. Lennon loved his stuff and turned the other Beatles onto him. Williams was found dead in his motel room with a bullet in his head in LA. Seems like someone caught up with him.

He also did an amazing northern soul album on Okeh records with Johnny Guitar Watson.

Beatles' "Bad Boy" does rock(great guitar sound). "Leave My Kitten Alone" too.

Think now that the Bad Boy which has been played was rather this one...but we'll never know

There's another "Bad Boy" -- Ringo covered it on his album of the same name:
