Instead of a camp "Love Train," I'd like to hear them do "who's that lady" by the isley bros. Nice R&B number, would sound great if the two guitar players show up.

Might be other good ones too.

That would be a good one. They will probably do something from the Tempations


P.S. The Isley Brothers weren't/aren't Mowtown

Keith of course is completely straight

Just My Imagination

How about a Four Tops tune, like Baby I Need Your Loving, Sugar Pie Honey Bunch, Same Old Song or Reach Out, I'll Be There!

hard to go wrong with a good motwown tune...there are 100's of them to choose from.the stones typically pick the well-known ones, though.

I want a Rock´n´Roll cover on the next tour.

Love to see & hear The Stones with especially Mick doing a down on his knees soulful cover of What Becomes Of tHe Broken Hearted.

Cafaro sorry to tell ya but The Isleys did record for Mowtown. Check out such stuff as This Old Heart Of Mine - Take Me In Your Arms - Tell Me It's Just A Rumour...which would all be great for the Stones to cover.

ROCKMAN

What about no soul cover?!

Cheers,
Wuudy

Rockman and Martingo:
I stand corrected. Rockman is correct. The Isley's were with Motown in the 60's. I have 4 of their discs and I never knew that. Thanks!

Keith of course is completely straight

Soul cover with build and emotion, perfect for Micky Jagger & The Stoney Boys.

I'm Down To My Last Heartbreak - Kenny Ballard And The Fabulous Soul Brothers

Can be found on: When A Man Cries - Kent CDKEN 176

EXACTLY! I listened a lot to the Out On Bail Version with Mac on keyboards and think it's great even without the sax, as in 81-82. So there's no need for a new cover, play this one!

A motown cover? - I second that emotion

I wish it would rain,stones have never done it,but,i think,keith could work wonders on this tune

sorry..no more motown, soul stuff...jagger's voice comes off too much like he is wining. the stones need to get back to their roots with more guitars...more rock and roll... its only rock and roll but i like it!

What about I heard it through the grapevine?

a few Chuck Berry songd in rehearsals might bring them back to that

In 2002 they rehearsed Can I Get A Witness and Hitch Hike.

cafaro----right on! lets rock and have a great time... more jagger, richards, wood and less chuck, lisa and brenard... go back and do hard ass rock and roll..
let it rock!

Isn't it obvious? Papa was A Rollin' Stone! They already stole the bass line in Out Of Control.

pretty good call, Elmo...

I think they could do Gladys Night's version of Grapevine really well.

let motown bands do motown music and r'n'r bands do r'n'r music! But i think they should do Come on in my Kitchen or something else by robert johnson

No, I think it's great that The Stones tried to cover great soul compositions. And with nearly all of the soulcovers they did excellent.

Just My Imagination remains one of the their best covers ever.

There's nothing wrong trying to do something different. It shows respect too to other musicians. Every important band covered something written by Smokey Robinson. I'm glad he gets this much respect, because he's one of the greatest songwriters ever.

Music is music.

Smalltowns,
The Stones were an R&b/blues band when they started out. They've probably recorded more Motown covers than any other popular rock band.

Kind of an ignorant remark. What does that even mean? The Stones are an R&B band by trade/definition. Motown is R&B. I see no difference.

yeah i like the soul/motown covers they did to, but they done this on the last tour! So why shouldn't they do a r'n'r or blues cover again for the next tour? At first the stones are a Rock'n'Roll Band aren't they???
