Rolling Stones retire classic song 'Brown Sugar' following backlash
The Rolling Stones retired one of their most popular rock songs due to lyrics that depict the horrors of slavery.
The Stones have not played the 1971 hit "Brown Sugar" on their current tour and said the blues classic has been removed from their setlist.
"You picked up on that, huh?," Keith Richards, 77, responded to the LA Times when asked if the Stones had cut the second-most-performed tune in their catalog amid a climate of heightened cultural sensitivity.
For the millenial babies here, the Rolling Stones is a British rock band, one of the many bands involved in the British Invasion of American music markets in the mid Sixties. Like a lot of the British hair bands, they copped on American R&B styles.
Brown Sugar was released in 1971 and hit #1 on a weekly Billboard chart.
Here's the tune.
Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in the market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he’s doing alright
Hear him whip the women just around midnight
Brown sugar, how come you taste so good? Uh huh
Brown sugar, just like a young girl should, uh huh, oh
Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin’ when it’s gonna stop
House boy knows that he’s doing alright
You shoulda heard ’em just around midnight
Brown sugar, how come you taste so good now?
Brown sugar, just like a young girl should now (Yeah)
Funny how Brown Sugar causes a stir, but not this.
