'“You Gotta Move,” a blues number on which Mick Jagger puts on an embarrassing accent that has been described as “aural blackface.”'I recall someone here on IORR writing something very similar to this not too long ago - could be that Bonnie Stiernberg picked up on it here.
Or maybe it's been described similarly by others in various places. Whatever the case, it is embarrassing and borderline mockery, and the tune itself is the weakest link on Sticky Fingers imo..

Sticky Fingers"Jagger messes with the ancient “You Gotta Move” — it’s an almost clownish imitation of an old rural blues singer, like aural blackface"._____________________________________________________________Rip this joint, gonna save your soul, round and round and round we go......Edited 1 time(s).
