It's no secret that throughout their long career, the Rolling Stones have covered
lots of tunes by black singers and bands from the worlds of soul, blues, R&B, reggae and early rock'n'roll, and have, of course, been heavily influenced by these various genres in their own performance and songwriting. Perhaps a bit lesser known is that several of the most iconic and legendary figures in black music have covered Stones songs as well. Here's
Brown Sugar by
Little Richard,
Satisfaction by
Aretha Frankilin and
Otis Redding,
Under My Thumb by
Tina Turner,
Start Me Up by
Toots and the Maytals and, rather unexpectedly,
Let's Spend the Night Together by blues great
Muddy Waters

Before Al Franken started calling Rush Limbaugh a big fat idiot, he did a big fat Mick Jagger impression.
