‘Honky Tonk Woman’ – Classic Rock Throwback Thursday [WATCH]

The Whale time machine date is set to July 23rd, 1969.

Looking at the U.K. singles chart, sitting at the very top, is The Rolling Stones song Honky Tonk Woman. It is the 8th U.K. number one single for Mick Jagger and the boys. It was also the last single that the Stones have taken to number one spot in the country across the pond.

Honky Tonk Woman also became a number one song in the U.S. and spent four weeks atop the singles chart. The song was written by Keith Richards and Mick Jagger. In the U.K., the song was number one for 5 weeks, and came out one day after Brian Jones had passed away.

Since we are in the year 1969, let's look in on The Rolling Stones performing Honky Tonk Woman at Madison Square Garden in New York City for this week's Classic Rock Throwback Thursday.
