The Rolling Stones - 1964 - You Better Move On

Classic Hits {Stereo} (song) 1964... “You Better Move On“ is a 1961 rhythm and blues song by Arthur Alexander. It reached number #24 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in March 1962. The lyrics were inspired by Alexander’s real life situation, in which his girlfriend and future wife already had a boyfriend. Alexander said of the situation “When I met her out of high school he was still hanging in there. His family was pretty well off. I didn’t have no money but I knew she liked me. It was a small town and people would be talking. That’s where I got the idea for the song. I didn’t talk to him personally. I said it in song.“ The song was recorded at the fledgling FAME Studios, which at that point was located above the City Drug Store in Florence, Alabama. (The studio would shortly move to its more famous location in nearby Muscle Shoals, Alabama.) The session musicians on the recording included David Briggs, piano, Terry Thompson, guitar, Forest Riley, acoustic guitar, Norbert Putnam, bass guitar, Jerry Carrigan, drums, and unknown back up singers. Music critic Toby Creswell included “You Better Move On“ as one of the 1001 great songs of all time.. Stereo Mix by @radiowollaton8521 #TheRollingStones #MickJagger #RollingStones
