1943-2014
'Mick Jagger and Keith Richards may take credit for this ‘Sticky Fingers’ epic, but we all know it belongs to Mick Taylor and Bobby Keys, who contributed mesmerizing solos during the song’s extended jam. And, according to Keys, it was all improvised on the spot; ‘Can’t You Hear Me Knocking’ wasn’t even supposed to have a sax part. But Keys grabbed his horn, and there he is at the three-minute mark, fluttering in between Rocky Dijon’s congas, conjuring thoughts of a smoky blues club and spitting fireballs during his 90-second solo. A team player to the end, Keys recedes to punctuate Taylor’s majestic turn, only to resurface to get in a few good grimy blurts.'
