Cover of COME ON in 1963 - first single on Decca, company correcting their misstep by out-voting The Beatles; The Stones never sounded more Mersey beat

Cover of GO HOME GIRL in 1964 - at Chess, but unreleased at the time; see also: You Better Move On
Cover of TELL ME BABY in 1964 - in the Chess studio in Chicago (just like their example Muddy Waters) but shelved; accidentally released on German comp The Rest Of The Best; the compiler confused it with Tell Me
Cover of TIME IS ON MY SIDE in 1964 - initial release with co-credits for Jimmy Norman; their cover shocked Irma Thomas, ...all the way to the bank; their first top 10 US

Cover of MAY BE THE LAST TIME in 1965 - n°1 UK as The Last Time; 'I have no idea where Keith or Mick heard the song; it's not the sort of thing that got played on the radio' - Bill Wyman in his Blues Odyssey (DK); their intro was inspired by King Curtis' instrumental Beach Party
Cover of I'M ALL RIGHT in 1965 - on Out Of Our Heads and Got Live If You Want It
Cover of I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU TOO LONG (TO STOP NOW) in 1965 - on live album Got Live If You Want It, drowned by screaming fans; Redding's profile among white audiences got seriously boosted by this cover; and so, following a successful tour of Europe, Otis covered (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction (see there)
Cover of AS TIME GOES BY in 1965 - idem; n°6 US; first live performance during the Bigger Bang tour (2005); in '66 they recorded it in Italian as Con Le Mie Lacrime, clearly following pronounciation instructions on paper

Cover of VJEZD GLADIATORU in 1968 - idem in their Rock And Roll Circus program
Cover of I DON'T KNOW WHY (I LOVE YOU) in 1969 - recorded the night they heard about the death of Brian Jones; probably the reason it was shelved until '75

Cover of YOU GOT TO MOVE in 1971 - idem on Sticky Fingers; crediting Fred McDowell, a fine financial gesture towards Chris Strachwitz of Arhoolie records, who held its publishing rights; McDowell was wined and dined by the Stones, they bought him a silver lamé suit which he wore dayly at home in Como and where he was buried in
Cover of SILVER TRAIN in 1973 - on Goat Heads Soup later that year

Cover of DIS TRAIN in 1995 - as Little Baby on Stripped
Cover of CONSTANT CRAVING in 1997 - refrain of Anybody Seen My Baby; just in time to avoid court action, two names were added to the credits for this first single of Bridges To Babylon; similarity was too obvious to take any risk
