“Lucky in Love” by Mick Jagger

Mick Jagger stepped out on his own with She's the Boss in 1985, and "Lucky in Love", the solo debut's second single, shows how hard he stacked the deck. He wrote it with Carlos Alomar, then filled the room: Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare on drums and bass, Jeff Beck on guitar, Herbie Hancock and Guy Fletcher on synthesizers, Wally Badarou on Synclavier, Chuck Leavell on organ, Ray Cooper on percussion and Aïyb Dieng on water drum, with Bernard Fowler backing Jagger's vocals.

The single version was remixed heavily from the album cut and got a video of its own, and it reached 38 on the Billboard Hot 100. Tucked in at track seven on the album, it later became one of just two She's the Boss songs chosen for The Very Best of Mick Jagger.
