Just Another NightMick Jagger
Over the Rolling Stones’ long career, they had provided songs for film soundtracks and the like, but this track marked Mick Jagger’s full-fledged solo debut.
Thanks in part to strong promotion, it became a big hit, and there was even talk that the Stones might break up, but the group is still going strong to this day.
Got You on My MindBoz Scaggs
Boz Scaggs is a singer-songwriter from the United States.
Known as the writer of the classic “We’re All Alone,” he won many fans with his calm, mature masculine charm.
In the 1980s, he had hits such as “Twilight Highway” and “Heart of Mine.” His debut work was the album “BOZ,” produced in Sweden in 1965.
The featured video is the album track “Got You on My Mind.” The sound is essentially country blues, making it hard to imagine the sophisticated body of work Boz would create afterward.
