It was 51 years ago Sunday (May 22nd, 1971) that the Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers hit Number One in America. The album marked the band's first new music of the 1970's — as well as the first full collection to feature the late-Brian Jones' replacement, guitarist Mick Taylor.
Sticky Fingers, which featured tracks culled from as far back as 1968, topped the charts for four straight weeks, spending a total of 15 weeks in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 albums chart.
The set opened with the band’s first chart-topper of the 1970’s — “Brown Sugar” — followed by “Sway,' “Wild Horses,” “Can't You Hear Me Knocking,” “You Gotta Move,” “Bitch,” “I Got The Blues,” “Sister Morphine,” “Dead Flowers,” and “Moonlight Mile.”
