Didn't Nicky Hopkins play on Revolution?

Sounds like his style. And didn't he play with everyone?

Yep. Oh, and check out 'Sittin' On My Sofa' from The Kink Kontroversy, a too cool super-rocker. This guy was amazing.

I can't really pick out John and Paul on "We Love You"--there are background vocals but they don't have clarity to me.  

Nicky Hopkins was awesome.  He's right in the middle of that classic Stones sound (late 60s-early 70s).  "Angie" is a high point--though there are plenty of them.  His solo album's supposed to be good Tin Man was a Dreamer (I think).  

It's amazing the Beatles didn't collaborate with their peers more.  I guess these days they'd be on 50 Cent's Curtis record or maybe they'd be on Kanye West's.  

John and Fiddy, what a pair.  

To me, Nicky Hopkins will always be associated w/ the Stones. His body of work w/ them is definitely memorable. When The Fab needed to lay down some complex keyboard work (that Macca couldn't handle) they always ran to Sir George Martin--For Mick & the boys, it was always Nicky Hopkins. I 'll always recall his delicate classical piano style in "She's A Rainbow".  I remember hearing it through a crappy transistor radio in late '67, and even then it was catchy. He was fixture w/them, and he looked very content playing w/the Bad Boys of Rock all the way up to their legendary TV film from '68 "The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus" (which I now have on dvd--and it's a treasure)

r.i.p. Nicky (say hello to Brian Jones for me)
