About "Happy"

From the original Rolling Stones Album "Exile on Main St." (12 May 1972)

Released as the second single from the album in July 1972, it reached number 22 in the US charts.
Credited to Jagger/Richards, "Happy" was written primarily by Richards in the summer of 1971, at the villa Nellcôte in southern France. The basic tracks were recorded in the Nellcôte basement, using the Rolling Stones' mobile recording unit, with Richards on bass, guitar and vocals; producer Jimmy Miller on drums; and saxophonist Bobby Keys on maracas. Piano by Nicky Hopkins was added later, as were Jim Price's trumpet, Keys' saxophone, Mick Taylor's guitar and the final vocal tracks, including Mick Jagger's back-up singing.
Since 1972, Richards has often sung "Happy" in concert and it has become one of his "signature tunes." Performances of the song through 1978 also featured Jagger's vocals during the chorus. Concert renditions of the song appear on the albums Love You Live and Live Licks; the studio track has been released on the compilation albums Made in the Shade and Forty Licks. [From Wikipedia]
