He's my fave all time pianist and had the ability to take an ordinary song and make it superb in my opinion.
1994 was an ordinary year for Stones history aside from the great VL album and tour with the deaths of this great musician and Mr Jimmy.

He is missed greatly. Lot of good Nicky stories in the Bobby Keyes book.

He doesn't play on Between The Buttons. Cool, Calm, Collected was recorded at RCA in August 1966.
The first Rolling Stones release to feature him was We Love You. This is according to the man himself and it's some what backd up by articles from the time.

I always thought Tops sounded like Billy. And I believe Fingerprint File is Preston too.

Was listening to Deep Tracks on Sirius/XM a while back, and Spindrifter came on. Never had heard it before but I loved it, then they said afterwards that N Hopkins was on it and I knew why.
