From here, lead singer Mick Jagger wrote a few new melodies and lyrics to shore up that earlier material as well as lay down some new vocal tracks. So, with the help of Chris Kimsey who served as co-producer on their previously successful album Some Girls, and their not-as-successful predecessor to this new one Emotional Rescue, they raided their own vaults for some bits and pieces to turn into new tracks. It takes time to make an album, and to write new songs. This would be pretty ironic, considering the album’s origins.īy the end of 1980, and after something of a hiatus period as a live act, the Stones were eager to tour again, and to do so behind a new record. The album would also make several “best records of the 1980s” lists by the end of the decade. This new record would be their last (to date) to hit the top chart positions internationally. It’s “Waiting On a Friend”, a smash single from 1981’s equally smash-success full length record, Tattoo You. Listen to this song by early ’60s London blues-boom quintet turned ’80s stadium-filling champeens The Rolling Stones.
