He did not appear with the Stones, but before the Stones. And the track was not live except for Jagger.

Yup, he had a great voice. Best back up singer to be with the Stones. Listen to the flatbedtruck 1975 take on Brown Sugar. He lifts the song. No not the one on 25x5, the original. Great rocking voice not totally unlike Keiths.

He was the first musician to have recorded and played with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Clapton did it after.

I'm not doubting his talent but I don't listen to the songs he did through '75 while Mick had a break. The lyrics to That's Life make me cringe but he added some great sounds to the Stones' tracks live.

T&A
I'll take the opposing view. Billy was the right guy at the right time and place for the Stones. 75/76 was a very funky time and nobody was funkier than Billy. The perfect foil for Jagger. I love his contributions to the live act on those tours....

Billy also "inspired" Mick to write "Miss You" !
