Mick Jagger @ The Grammys
Feb 3^rd, 2011 at 6:15am

The Recording Academy is finally getting some satisfaction, with Mick Jagger's first appearance on the Grammy stage.

(AP)The Rolling Stones frontman will perform at the Feb. 13 ceremony as part of a tribute to soul great Solomon Burke, who died last year. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer opened for the Rolling Stones several times during his career comeback late in life.

Jagger will perform with soul singer Raphael Saadiq during the 53rd annual Grammy Awards, which will air live on CBS from the Staples Center in Los Angeles (8 p.m. EST).

"We're thrilled, delighted, excited and very much looking forward to Mick doing his debut on the Grammy stage," said Neil Portnow, president and CEO of the Recording Academy. "It's extraordinary to many of us that the fact is, this will be the first time; he has never performed on the Grammy stage."

This won't be Jagger's first appearance on a Grammy telecast. In 1986, the Rolling Stones were given a lifetime achievement award by Eric Clapton, and they performed on the show by satellite.

"We did a remote from London, and it was at least three o'clock there," said show producer Ken Ehrlich.

"I think they had been celebrating a little time before we went on camera," he said. "It was quite a moment."

Ehrlich has produced the show for 31 years and has always wanted Jagger and the Stones to perform, but it didn't work out until this year.

Ehrlich said it was Jagger's admiration for Burke that brought him to the Grammy stage.

"He's asked me not to go into detail about what he's doing, but I think when you see the performance, it will make a lot sense," said Ehrlich. "I think it was the idea of the performance that was intriguing to him and really brought him here."

Jagger will join a performers list that includes Rihanna, Cee Lo, Gwyneth Paltrow, Eminem, Arcade Fire, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Usher, Lady Gaga, Lady Antebellum and Justin Bieber.

Phew! When I saw the thread title and realised Mixk was playing solo at the Grammys, I figured it might have been a special award to mark the 25th anniversary of 'She's The Boss'...

A Solomon Burke tribute? Pretty cool. Good on Mick for being part of it.

Cant help but think its another opportunity missed, though. Would it have been that difficult for the Stones as a band to have spent a few hours of their precious time rehearsing a cover of 'Everybody Needs Somebody to Love' or 'Cry to Me' ?

No they didn't. They were presented with the award in London by Clapton and the speeches were broadcast live via satellite but they didnt 'perform'.

I know they are "popular" but what a D list of no talent lip synchers. I'll pass on this and catch Mick via Youtube to save the eyes from the rest of the tools.

Yeah your right. Which again makes you wonder about the relationship betwenn Mick and Keith. Or wonder when the last time Keith picked up a guitar.

I blame Mick and Keith. I had never heard of Justin Bieber or Glee until they did that fucking skit on Jimmy Fallon which namechecked both of them!

A Stones performance would have been a major media event and would have reminded the world that they're still a living, breathing entity - whereas no one outside of a few fan forums gives a fuck about a solo appearance at it by any of them.

Mick Jagger will make his first-ever live appearance at the Grammy Awards on February 13. The singer will be taking part in the ceremony's annual "In Memoriam" segment, and will pay tribute to the late gospel soul great Solomon Burke, who died last October. Jagger will be accompanied by Raphael Saadiq and his band.

Photos: The Rolling Stones Live, 1964-2007

Despite his long and widely celebrated career in music, Jagger has only once before appeared in a Grammy Awards telecast, in 1986, when he and the rest of the Rolling Stones were presented with the Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award via satellite from London.

here is 1986 appearance with clapton - very funny - they all seem to be taking the piss:

in a way it's a last hurrah for the Stones (and Mick) at their irreverant best - next stop the Hall of Fame and acceptance by and of polite society.

see charlie at 1.07 - looks very much in the throes of his heroin problem
