rock and roll bandthe Rolling Stones off of their1969 album "Let It Bleed ". Along with "Country Honk," this was one of two songs guitaristMick Taylor played on while auditioning for the band.Written by
Mick Jagger andKeith Richards , "Live with Me" was recorded onMay 24 , 1969. It marks the first time the Stones would record withBobby Keys , he contributing the extended saxophone solo near the middle of the song that would become a hallmark of future Stones releases.Leon Russell andNicky Hopkins both contributed piano to the piece. As on a number of Rolling Stones records, the song's distinctive bassline was played by Keith Richards rather than Bill Wyman (the band's 'official' bass player).It is said that the song's rather lewd lyrics were the reason why the London Bach Choir asked not to be credited for their contribution to "
You Can't Always Get What You Want ." In the song, Jagger asks for "a woman's touch" to improve the conditions in his squalid apartment.Although it was never released as a single, it is a popular live staple, appearing on the live albums "
Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! " and "No Security ".The song was performed live withChristina Aguilera for the shooting of the documentary "Shine a Light".
