The Rolling Stones kicked off the seventies in pretty much the same way they finished the sixties. This is another one of those riffs which, the moment you hear it, you know is Keith Richards. Not surprisingly, the Stones courted controversy with this as much as with any other song. It was originally banned in the UK because it was assumed that " Brown Sugar" referred to heroin and the song promoted drug use. Well, if you want to believe that, go ahead. Its more likely about Marsha Hunt.
But what the hell! Few are the people who cannot instantly recognise this song from the opening chords. And the sax just adds to the mix. This is party music from the days when rock was still king of the party. Disco may have killed off good chart music, but Brown Sugar will outlast any disco dross you care to mention.
Rating: 8/10
