On Black and Blue and Tattoo You

Between EMOTIONAL RESUCE and UNDERCOVER he really hit something. The work he did on the vocals for TATTOO YOU are incredible, and then he was even better on U. What he did with Dance, She's So Cold and pretty much the rest of ER is really good. That is a fantastic era for him regarding his vocal qualities.
His work on LET IT BLEED and STICKY FINGERS is exceptional as well and, really, IT'S ONLY ROCK'N'ROLL.

I think the peak was '71. His voice had matured at that point but was still raw. Some wonderful stuff though as his singing has evolved over the ensuing decades.

Even though he sang to a sped-down tape, his vocals on Angie are fantastic and deserves a mention.

Agree Mick is great on Angie, but what do you mean "he sang to a sped-down tape"??

That's what he did, allegedly. Some of the notes were a bit too high for him, so they sped down the tape while he added the vocals, so he was able to reach up there strainlessly.
All according to Jimmy Miller. Makes sense when we hear Angie live, too.

First time I hear this!
True that Angie has a couple of points that can be hard for Jagger live. But in studio?
Also quite odd, if you consider the Stones studio habits.

They were fiddling about with the tape speed on Can You Hear The Music as well. Maybe they were on a roll?

I just can't imagine Mick composing the vocal melody and then trying to sing it.

I agree. In fact I love all of his studio vocals from -68 to - 75. And I’m in the minority here but live -75-77 I really like. Live -72 was the best though.
