the Beatles and The Rolling Stones They are music history. Two British bands that made an entire industry their own, carrying Liverpool and London as their flag, respectively. Two legendary groups that understand each other very well separately, but that, together, could have blown up the musical world.
In fact, there has only been one collaboration between its two most illustrious members, John Lennon and Mick Jagger. A song recorded in 1974 with the first guitar chords, and with Jagger singing the blues song ‘Too Many Cooks’. A topic that was lost for a time, and that was rescued on January 17, 2003.
This song It was never released to the market, since both artists had work contracts with different record companies..
In 1973, Yoko Ono expels John Lennon from her home, telling him to go with her personal assistant, May Pang, with tasks, such as “being with John, helping him and making sure he gets what he wants.” Then, they both headed to Los Angeles in a period of time that was called “The Lost Weekend.”
A special place, because a year later, in The Record Plant studio, in the city of Los Angeles, was when the song was recorded. It is unknown if John Lennon played guitar on the track or it does not appear, but it suggests so due to the lines of some melodies that appear on his 1974 album, ‘Walls And Bridges’, ‘Beef Jerky’ and ‘What You Got’ .
In addition, the leader of The Beatles also produced the song designed by Jimmy Robinson, also featuring other artists such as Jim Keltner, Bruce Gary, Jesse Ed Davis, Bobby Keys and Harry Nilsson. But, in addition, other musicians include Jack Bruce, Danny Kortchmar, Al Kooper, and in some cases they also add Ringo Starr as drummer.
30 years in the dark for contractual reasons
A song that was kept in the strictest secret for more than 30 years due to contractual reasons, as mentioned above.
It was in 2003 when a London record store owner put up for auction an unlabeled record that he claimed was by Ronnie Wood, and which contained a collaborative version of Mick Jagger singing ‘Too Many Cooks’, with John Lennon and his guitar.
The album without a label ended up being sold for 1,500 euros, and when it was released Mick Jagger confessed that he had forgotten it existed for many years. For her part, May Pang, John Lennon’s ex-partner, had a copy that she had also forgotten, passing the recording to the leader of The Rolling Stones and appearing in ‘The Very Best of Mick Jagger’ from 2007.
