"Ruby Tuesday" is a song recorded by The Rolling Stones in 1966, written by Keith Richards and probably Brian Jones , but credited to Jagger/Richards . The song was a number-one hit in the U.S. and a number three in the UK. Guitarist Jones plays Recorder , and the Double Bass is played by both bassist Bill Wyman (pressing the strings against the fingerboard) and Keith Richards (bowing the strings). The piano is played by Jack Nitzsche , a producer, arranger and songwriter known for his work with producer Phil Spector . According to Keith Richards in a 1971 '' Rolling Stone '' interview he wrote the song in a Los Angeles hotel room in early 1966. The topic according to Richards was a Groupie he knew. The song's lyrics concern an apparently free-spirited woman, with Jagger singing, "Who could hang a name on you?/When you change with every new day/Still I'm gonna miss you." "That's a wonderful song," Mick Jagger told Jann Wenner in 1995. "It's just a nice melody, really. And a lovely lyric. Neither of which I wrote, but I always enjoy singing it." Bill Wyman also claims in ''Rolling with the Stones'' book that the song was completely written by Keith Richards. However, Marianne Faithfull claims in her biography that the song was written by Brian Jones, and that Keith Richards only added minor parts. To date, Faithfull remains the only source for this claim. All post-2002 reissues of "Ruby Tuesday" on CD (comprising all versions on the ABKCO remastered CDs) are missing a vocal overdub in the chorus. The reason for this change has never been officially addressed. '' Rolling Stone '' magazine ranked the song #303 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time . The song title was the source of the Restaurant Chain Of The Same Name . A performance was captured during the Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle Tour and released on the 1991 Live Album '' Flashpoint ''.
