I must say, if you put in angie nicky hopkins you will not get the angie that is above.

youtube does not recognize nicky hopkins, obviously, he was the piano player on this great song


would u please put on your piano filter ears and listen to just the piano on this and tell me this guy was not a geniius??


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-21QK9F1NWc



and it was voodoo that did it first:
http://www.rocksoff.org/nicky.htm

In 1967 he joined The Jeff Beck Group, formed by former Yardbirds guitarist Jeff Beck, with vocalist Rod Stewart, bassist Ronnie Wood and drummer Micky Waller, playing on their influential LPs Truth and Beck-Ola. In 1968 he also played piano in the swedish psychedelic group The Tages in the single "Halcyon Days", produced in Abbey Road Studio. He was also a member of the short-lived Sweet Thursday line-up in 1969.

Hopkins was added to the Rolling Stones live line-up on the 1971 Good-Bye Britain tour, as well as the notorious 1972 North American Tour and the early 1973 Winter Tour of Australia and New Zealand. Hopkins is featured heavily on the classic 1972 Exile on Main St. album. He started to form his own band around this time, but decided against it after coming off the Stones tour. He had planned on using Prairie Prince on drums, and Pete Sears on bass. Hopkins failed to make the Stones' 1973 tour of Europe due to ill health, and aside from a guest appearance in 1978, he did not play again with the Stones live on stage. Hopkins did manage to go on tour with Jerry Garcia's side project, the Jerry Garcia Band, from August 5 to December 31, 1975. He continued to record with the Stones until 1980, and on solo records of members of the Stones up to 1991.

Hopkins released a solo album in 1973 entitled The Tin Man Was a Dreamer. Other musicians appearing on the album include George Harrison (credited as George O'Hara), Mick Taylor of the Rolling Stones, and Prairie Prince, who was later the drummer for the subversive punk band The Tubes. Re-released on Columbia in 2004, the album is a rare opportunity to hear Hopkins sing.

As a session player, Hopkins was renowned for his ability to give accomplished performances with little or no rehearsal, and for his habit of reading comic books at recording sessions. The classic Kinks song "Session Man" (from Face to Face) is dedicated to (and features) Hopkins. The Kinks' Ray Davies wrote a memorial piece that appeared in the New York Times after Hopkins' death.

A member of the Church of Scientology, he was awarded the International Association of Scientologists (IAS) Freedom Medal in October 1989.

Hopkins died on September 6, 1994, aged 50, in Nashville, Tennessee, of complications from intestinal surgery. At the time of his death he was working on his autobiography with Ray Coleman. He was survived by his wife, Moira

Remember to keep your nose to the grindstone, your shoulder to the wheel, your feet on the ground, your eye on the ball, your ear to the ground, your finger on the pulse, your head on your shoulders, the pedal to the metal, a song in your heart, your hand on the helm and the bull by the horns

He was a perfect fit with the Stones.  I don't think it's an accident that the Stones best years had Hopkins aboard.

What can I say... I already said a lot here http://www.rocksoff.org/nicky.htm there you will find mp3 of his solo albums and colaborations and guest appearances. He played with the best of England (Cyril Davis, Stones, Beatles, Who, Kinks, and the best of San Francisco (Jefferson Airplane, QUicksilver Messenger Service, and Jerry García) and the wildest bunch of musicians including of course Cheech & Chong LOL

Actually have a LOT of additional information to add and lack of "free" time to do it. With that website I have made contacts with people really close to Nicky, the next edition will rock a lot. The last interview, demos, and even unreleased recordings with Shel Talmy and at least 10 additional articles. I want to make something like a free on-line book about this guy

I met him once, he was very nice! He loved Mexico, in his first album he played a song about Acapulco and in his second he starts the album with a song about Mexico

I changed the link to that place to the original research, in this way those reading from the beginning won't enter that fucking place. I'm pissed, it's years of work.
