“Anybody Seen My Baby?” by The Rolling Stones

"Anybody Seen My Baby?" was the Rolling Stones' opening shot from Bridges to Babylon in 1997, a Jagger-Richards song that ended up with two extra names on the label: k.d. lang and Ben Mink got writing credits because its chorus sat so close to lang's 1992 hit "Constant Craving". The production roster is a sign of the times, with Don Was, the Glimmer Twins and the Dust Brothers all at the desk.

Charlie Watts keeps the beat unhurried and Mick Jagger sings lead over a pile-up of guitars from himself, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Waddy Wachtel, with Jamie Muhoberac on bass and keyboards, Was on keys, and Richards, Blondie Chaplin and Bernard Fowler on backing vocals, Chaplin rattling a tambourine too. It stalled at 22 in Britain but did better abroad, topping the chart in Canada and reaching three on Billboard's Mainstream Rock list.
