About "A Thief in the Night"

From the original Rolling Stones Album "Bridges to Babylon" (29 September 1997)

Bridges to Babylon was recorded during the spring into summer months of 1997 in Los Angeles in a matter of four months - one of their most concise periods of recording in years - and was being mastered just as projected lead single, "Anybody Seen My Baby?", was discovered to sound like another famous song. Richards' daughter, Angela, brought it to her father's attention that The Rolling Stones' new song bore a striking resemblance to k.d. lang's 1992 hit "Constant Craving" in its chorus. Seeking to avoid any possible future legal entanglements, lang and her co-writer Ben Mink were credited with Jagger and Richards on the potentially offending song. Upon its release, it would reach #22 in the UK and become a US radio rock hit.
Bridges to Babylon, containing an unprecedented three solo moments by Keith Richards, was released to mixed reviews - some finding the looseness of Stripped having transferred successfully to the album - and it reached #6 in the UK and #3 in the US, where it went platinum. Further singles "Saint of Me" and Out Of Control were also minor hits.
Eight different people played bass on the album: Jeff Sarli, Jamie Muhoberac, Blondie Chaplin, Don Was, Danny Saber, Darryl Jones, Me'shell Ndegeocello, and Doug Wimbish.
The Stones had become a touring phenomenon by this point. The Bridges to Babylon Tour in 1997 consisted of 108 shows, making it the second largest grossing North American tour of all time. [From Wikipedia]
