I would have airbrushed Mick out of that cover image to put the focus on Charlie not Mick. But that's just me.

Wait, what? Charlie follows Keith and Bill follows Charlie.

Bill's account of the wobble is that Charlie follows Keith and Bill anticipates Keith.

Hoho, now it gets confusing. I remember Keith saying in interviews that he follows Charlie and not the other way around. He pointed that out by saying that during live songs he, from time to time, goes to Charlie to make sure that he is line with him.
But what the heck, who cares. For me from the very start of the 60s wave it was very clear why The Rolling Stones had this advantage over all those other bands ... it was that solid rhythm "machine" made up by Charlie and Bill making it possible for the talented Brian and Keith to freak out with their guitar weaving.
So Mick had the best possible musicians behind him, making the band unique.

Okay, then what am I doing wrong with the search engine? I searched for “any words” of the title as well as the author’s last name. Nada.

"....the severely underrated bassist, Bill Wyman, whose accomplishments and presence have never been sung with as much praise as they merit. Often buried in the mix, he drove the band, playing with a very certain mastery of his instrument, and kept order in what could be an unruly mess. He was unequivocally a component part of the Stones sound."
