Leave No Stones Song Uncovered: A Tribute to the Rolling Stones

      Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are both turning 80 this year (July 26 and December 18, respectively) so I thought it only appropriate to put together a Rolling Stones tribute.  Perhaps maybe I should have done a compilation of songs the Rolling Stones recorded themselves, but I still find that a compilation of covers almost always gives me a better appreciation of the musicians' artistry and songwriting ability.  Even though there are very few covers on this compilation that I definitively prefer to the Rolling Stones' versions (and I shan't say which ones), but they all have their charms and hearing the song in a different voice often enhances my fondness for the original.  Anyway, hope you like them and I'll post a Volume 3 next week

I think it's Jennifer Warnes, not Warren, but on the album she just went by Jennifer...

It is Jennifer Warnes, but on the actual 45, she's listed as Jennifer Warren. According to a comment on youtube, she went back to her original name Jennifer Warnes in the 1970's since there was another actress named Jennifer Warren.
