: Stupid question but as I recall,
: Taylor nor Wyman didn't play on the song.
: Keith played bass/electric,
: Mick vocals, Charlie drums
: and friends of the Stones sang the "wo wo's"
: Don't know about da bongos.
You need to get the film. Of cause Taylor isn't on the song - he wasn't in the band
yet, it was recorded in '68. Wyman plays percussion and sings backup vocals along with
Keef, Brian, Jimmy Miller, Anita P. and Marianne F. Charlie was also credited for backup
vocals but in the film he is just standing there and not singing. I always felt those back
up vocals help make the song, along with that great African beat that Syph points out
above. There are no bongos in the song, what you hear is congas played by Rocky Dijon.
