Title: the Staples Singers "This may be the last time" Post by riffkeither on Sep 6th, 2010 at 2:52pm
the Staples Singers "This may be the last time"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1jGF-6bFpI I LIKE IT !!! http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=478 I find this , what do you think of it ? Keith Richards wrote: "We didn't find it difficult to write pop songs, but it was VERY difficult - and I think Mick will agree - to write one for the Stones. It seemed to us it took months and months and in the end we came up with The Last Time, which was basically re-adapting a traditional Gospel song that had been sung by the Staples Singers, but luckily the song itself goes back into the mists of time. I think I was trying to learn it on the guitar just to get the chords, sitting there playing along with the record, no gigs, nothing else to do. At least we put our own stamp on it, as the Staples Singers had done, and as many other people have before and since: they're still singing it in churches today. It gave us something to build on to create the first song that we felt we could decently present to the band to play... The Last Time was kind of a bridge into thinking about writing for the Stones. It gave us a level of confidence; a pathway of how to do it. And once we had done that we were in the game. There was no mercy, because then we had to come up with the next one. We had entered a race without even knowing it." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France) |

It's so different from the Staple Singers, I don't know how they could compare it other then the words "This could be the last time" entirely different song, unlike Led Zeppelin, who on their first 3 albums, stole old blues licks like crazy, & took the credit.
