"Ruby Tuesday" is a song recorded by The Rolling Stones in 1966, released in January 1967. The song, coupled with "Let's Spend the Night Together", was a number-one hit in the United States and reached number three in the United Kingdom. ==Music and inspiration== Multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones played recorder, and the double bass was played jointly by bassist Bill Wyman (pressing the strings against the fingerboard) and Keith Richards (bowing the strings). According to Keith Richards in a 1971 ''Rolling Stone'' interview, he wrote the song in a Los Angeles hotel room in early 1966 about a groupie he knew; he has also stated that it was about Linda Keith, his girlfriend in the mid-1960s. The song's lyrics concern an apparently free-spirited woman, with Jagger singing, "Who could hang a name on you?/When you change with every new day/Still I'm gonna miss you."〔[http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc19813/m1/ Show 46 - Sergeant Pepper at the Summit: The very best of a very good year. [Part 2] : UNT Digital Library]〕 "That's a wonderful song," Mick Jagger told Jann Wenner in 1995. "It's just a nice melody, really. And a lovely lyric. Neither of which I wrote, but I always enjoy singing it." Bill Wyman states in ''Rolling with the Stones'' that the lyrics were completely written by Keith Richards with help from Brian Jones on the musical composition. However, Marianne Faithfull recalls it differently; according to her, Brian Jones presented an early version of this melody to the rest of the Rolling Stones.〔"Brian Jones", ''Mojo'' Magazine, July 1999, p.75〕 According to Victor Bockris, Richards came up with the basic track and the words and finished the song with Jones in the studio.〔Bockris, Keith Richards, 1993, p.93-94〕 According to Richards's autobiography, ''Life'', the song was written about his girlfriend Linda Keith. Linda had taken up with Jimi Hendrix, and had got involved with drugs. She left Richards, and he tried to get her back. He eventually went to her parents and told them she was going down a dark path. Linda's father went to New York City to collect her, and by order of court she was grounded. Richards reports that Linda regarded this as a betrayal, and they did not speak again for many years. According to Richards's autobiography, Linda Keith survived, brought up a family, and now lives in New Orleans.〔''Life'' (2010), Keith Richards, pp. 186–187〕 ''Rolling Stone'' magazine ranked the song #310 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The song title was the source of the restaurant chain of the same name. The song was released on two consecutively released US albums: ''Between the Buttons'' (1967) and compilation album ''Flowers'' (1967).〔 The 2002 ABKCO reissues of the song is missing a vocal overdub in the chorus, but this appears to be an error, as the version on 2007's ''Rolled Gold+'', 2012's ''GRRR!'' and the 2013 iTunes remasters contain the overdub. A concert rendition of the song from the Rolling Stones' Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle Tour was released on the band's 1991 concert album ''Flashpoint''. A July 2013 live performance is featured on ''Sweet Summer Sun: Hyde Park Live''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ruby Tuesday (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
