This song was written as a tribute to legendary R&B performer Billy Preston, who plays keyboards on this track. Preston has had a long history of run-ins with the law for charges such as assault and drug possession. The only man ever to have recorded songs with both The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, Preston played the famous keyboard solo on the Fab Four's "Get Back."
Husband and wife duo Mark Gaillard and Mary Anderson sued The Stones, claiming that this was a rip-off of a song they wrote called "Oh Yeah." They claimed Stones engineer John Bernard was in the studio when they recorded "Oh Yeah" in 1996 and brought the idea to The Stones.
Meshell Ndegeocello played bass on this track. She had a popular song as a solo artist with "If That's Your Boyfriend (He Wasn't Last Night)" and played on sessions with Madonna and Indigo Girls.
