Keith Richards (born 18 December 1943) is an English musician, songwriter and founding member of The Rolling Stones. He was ranked by Rolling Stone magazine as the "10th greatest guitarist of all time" in 2003. One year later, the same magazine listed fourteen songs written by Richards and songwriting partner, band vocalist Mick Jagger, in their list of their "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".

This is Keith's cover of the classic blues-song originally written and recorded by Luke Jordan back in 1927. It's not the best version of the song I have heard, but it's a moving version. Enjoy. Keith Richards: guitar and vocals (1994). The lyrics: well,yonder comes my baby all dressed in white see baby gonna stay all night cocaine all around my brain yonder comes my baby all dressed in blue see baby what you gonna do cocain all around my brain hey baby come here quick this old cocaine is making me sick cocain all around my brain cocaine's for horses, its not for men they say it'll kill you but they don't say when cocain all around my brain ohh baby would'nt you get here quick this old cocaine is making me sick cocain all around my brain it's all around my brain

Rock n Roll!" by Taylor Hackford, courtesy of Image Entertainment. All copyrights belong to their respective owners. I took this clip from Gibson's website and put it on youtube. It's a great movie.
