Keith Richards Recalls John Lennon and Paul McCartney Singing on the Stones' 'We Love You' and 'Dandelion'

Fans know that John and Paul sang on the Rolling Stones' "We Love You," but whether or not they also contributed to "Dandelion" has been disputed. However, in a new interview, Keith Richards credits the two Beatles for singing on both tracks.

According to Guitar Player mag (via Forbes):

A working collaboration between The Beatles and The Rolling Stones followed soon after they met. Richards recalled, "Later, John and Paul sang on 'We Love You' and on 'Dandelion,'" pointing out an early single and B-side. Notably, two of the four Beatles, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, co-wrote The Rolling Stones's smash single, "I Wanna Be Your Man."

That working relationship continues to this day, as McCartney plays bass on the tune "Bite My Head Off," featured on Hackney Diamonds.

Richards dived deeper into the relationship between the bands, adding, "Ronnie [Wood] and I used to hang with George Harrison quite a bit in the 1970s, so there’s always been an open door between the Beatles and the Stones." Why is this? According to the longtime member of The Rolling Stones, it's because, "We were the only ones that knew what it’s like to have that extreme kind of fame in the 1960s, so that created a bond.”

Keith's memory it typically (amazingly) pretty good. So, maybe this puts this controversy to bed.
