Ahh - it’s too bad James Brown isn’t still around to post a comment!
Mick learned it from James on the TAMI Show. Incredible performance.

Pretty cool. It sounded like they were actually singing and playing their instruments. It seems like someone was missing, though. I thought there were five Stones.
Jan & Dean came on to the stage on sskateboards singing Sidewalk Surfing during that show.
Yes, James Brown was on top of his game. Those kids got their money’s worth that night.
And the house band for that event was the legendary LA ‘Wrecking Crew” - including at that time (I’m pretty sure) Glen Campbell.
bfl
Glen was in the wrecking crew.
Yes, one of them came out with a guitar case and after the first number, opens it up and...skateboard comes out! Pretty cool.
Keef is still amazing but he learned it all from America.
Mick used to live 15 miles from here when he was married to Jerry Halle.
No one liked him.
I’d drink with Keef
Another Chuck Berry cover. A decade later, George Thorogood would take Chuck Berry songs to even greater heights.
Thanks for the Eddie Cochran links. I agree, he was headed for superstardom until that fateful taxi ride. He was definitely edgier than Elvis. Imagine what he, James Dean and Buddy Holly could have done if they didn’t die so young. I think all three of them would have ended up in some movies together.
Here’s a couple old British wankers ripping off Eddie Cochran...
