Singing With Sir Mick Trivia Quiz

Answer: David Bowie

The fact that this song was recorded in under four hours and it was done for the Live Aid charity, made the fact that the video was so bad forgivable. Plus when have two giants of the music industry of this scale ever got together, put egos aside and performed in such a way?
The vocals were, as to be expected, first class, there is a sense of fun which comes through on the record and most importantly, it raised a ton of cash for a very worthwhile cause.

Answer: Peter Tosh

Tosh had previously recorded this song as a ska track when a member of the Wailers and it was released as the B side to the "Dancing Shoes" single in 1966.
This reggae version by Jagger and Tosh was performed by the pair on TV show, "Saturday Night Live" in 1978 and is worth a listen if only for the spoken section between the pair, Tosh's rich Jamaican tones contrasting with Jagger's Kent twang.

Answer: Sheryl Crow

The soundtrack to "Alfie" (2004) also featured Joss Stone for whom Jagger provided backing vocals on the track, "Wicked Time".
Sheryl Crow provided the theme song to the Bond film. "Tomorrow Never Dies" in 1997 and reached number 12 in UK charts with this track.

Answer: You're So Vain

Carly Simon has said in interviews that the subject of the song is an amalgamation of three men, the only one of which she has confirmed is Warren Beatty.
Speculation over the other two continues years after the song's release with Jagger, David Bowie, David Geffen, James Taylor, Davis Cassidy and Cat Stevens all being put forward as candidates.

Answer: Jacksons

"State of Shock" was originally recorded with vocal duties shared by Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury, but this version was never officially released and Jackson re-recorded the song with his brothers Jackie and Marlon along with Jagger.

Answer: Gary Moore

The Gary Moore set, which also included contributions from Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts was later issued as a bootleg album, titled "We Want Moore Jagger" and included a Mick Jagger / Lenny Kravitz duet of the Rolling Stones song "No Expectations" originally from the "Beggar's Banquet (1968) album.

Answer: SuperHeavy

For me, one of the best albums of 2011 saw these five musical greats come together and make music in a whole variety of styles including rock, soul, reggae and Indian pop.
The second single from the eponymous album, "Satyameva Jayathe" (2011) even saw Jagger singing in Sanskrit.

Answer: The Chieftains

The Chieftains certainly amassed an all star cast for this album, featuring as it does, contributions from Tom Jones, Ry Cooder, Van Morrison, Mark Knopfler, Sting and The Rolling Stones as well as Jagger solo.
The band are perhaps best known for their 1988 album collaboration with Van Morison, "Irish Heartbeat" which was a top 20 hit on the UK album charts.

Answer: will.i.am

"T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever)" was announced by will.i.am as the lead single from his forthcoming "#willpower" album (2013), but in the end wasn't included on the album, becoming a stand alone single.
Although the track only reached number 36 in America's Billboard Hot 100, it did better in Canada where it reached number ten and in UK where it got to number three.

Answer: Tina Turner

Jagger's full Live Aid set was his solo tracks, "Lonely At The Top" (1985), "Just Another Night" (1985), the Rolling Stones song, "Miss You" (1978) and the two songs with Tina Turner, a cover of the song he originally did with The Jackson's in 1984, "State Of Shock" and the set closer "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (But I Like It)".
Interestingly Jagger's performance was followed by that of Bob Dylan, who played his set with Jagger's Rolling Stone bandmates, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood.
