Rolling Stones Brown Sugar Apron

"Brown Sugar" is the opening track and first single from British rock band The Rolling Stones' 1971 album Sticky Fingers.

Rolling Stone magazine ranked it #490 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Though credited, like most Stones compositions, to singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, the song was primarily the work of Jagger, who wrote it sometime during the filming of Ned Kelly in 1969.

Originally recorded over a three day period at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama during December 1969, the song was not released until over a year later due to legal wranglings with the band's former label, though the Stones debuted the number live during the infamous concert at Altamont.
