But wasn't Start me up originally written in 1975 two years before Thunder Island was released?Quote

Funny how we rarely have posts accusing Keith of ripping off "Thunder Island" for "Start Me Up."

No, he did not. The credit was given to K. D. Lang. That is not called stealing.
Nice authorities you have.
- Doxa
The authority in this case is Keith Richards. Did you even read the article?
"Richards explained that the Stones machine went into overdrive to avoid a massive lawsuit: "So I had to call up (our manager) and all the heavy-duty lawyers, and I said, have this thing checked out right now otherwise we're going to be sued. And within 24-hours, I got a phone call: You're right. We had to include K.D. Land in the writing credits."

Anybody seen my baby was the Stones at their best and simultaneously at their most pathetic.
It was a beautiful song and then in some misguided effort to seem current or edgy or who knows what they put a rap sequence in the middle of it.
This was akin to Clint Eastwood’s gunfighter character having the small cigar lit,the eyes squinted ...and then making a goofy face at the camera.
WTFck were you thinking? Aerosmith had meshed rap and rock in an epic manner 13 YEARS before.it didn’t fit in the song,it destroyed the flow,and seemed like people trying to be hip and failing miserably.
Is there really no one there who can speak up and say these things to them?
Then the corporate Stones Machine took over,oh god it sounds like someone else’s song,call The lawyers!!
The saddest part of the Vegas Corporate Stones is that it never crossed their minds to call a fellow musician,play the song for her and ask her ”are you cool with this?”
A few years later KD Lang was on the same flight as Mick and thanked him for the credit,she also told him she would have never sued them.

Somewhat relatedly, it seems that Mick’s solo catalog has been removed from Spotify. Anyone know why that might be?

Really good points Lem. ASMB was a great single, a great song, that was so tainted by that terrible head scratcher of a decision to throw a rap in there. Forgetting about that it doesn't make sense musically, it smacks of desperation. It's like those obligatory guest spots on Live stage, and Jagger adapting his moves to fit with the guest.

I also noticed on Napster which one I subscribe too, that Mick's music is almost gone ; only Performance soundtrack available.Quote

Pure speculation of course, but perhaps Universal will shortly announce they have acquired Mick's solo catalog.

The lead vocal is John Phillips. Both versions of the album (PAY PACK AND FOLLOW and PUSSYCAT) are worth picking up.

Slightly OT - can anyone recall the title of the KD Lang song, where she is talking to herself, and says things like "why do you fight this Katherine?" etc.
I only heard it once, and have never found it again. Maybe I just dreamed it.
Ok, that does it. I am going to be asking for your hand in marriage very soon.Quote

Back off, I claimed 35love long ago. We both just need accidents to happen to our respective spouses.
