Famous lyrics by »
"Worried About You" is a song featured on the 1981 the Rolling Stones 1981 album Tattoo You. Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, "Worried About You" is slow ballad first produced for 1976's Black and Blue. This is most evident with the song's guitar solo contributed by Wayne Perkins, an early contender for the lead guitarist spot left open after the departure of Mick Taylor. Like some songs for Black and Blue, "Worried About You" was recorded in Rotterdam, Netherlands, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio. Overdubs were performed in Montreux, Switzerland, as well as later in 1981 in New York City. With Mick Jagger on electric piano and lead vocals (using a falsetto voice like the earlier released, later recorded "Emotional Rescue") with Richards providing prominent harmony vocals during the chorus, Perkins and Richards perform guitars. Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman perform drums and bass, respectively. A simple performance music video was produced in support of the song. The song was billed as "Worried 'Bout You" in the video. It is notable for showing Ronnie Wood, the eventual choice for the Stones' lead guitarist, performing Perkins' solo (similar to the videos for "Waiting on a Friend" and "Hot Stuff", which were actually played by Mick Taylor and Harvey Mandel respectively). The song was first performed by the Stones during the two shows at the "El Mocambo Club" in Canada, March 4–5, 1977. It was also played throughout the 2002–03 Licks Tour, with one captured performance being released on the 2004 live album Live Licks. It would again be performed during the 2006 leg of the A Bigger Bang Tour and in 2013 during the 50 & Counting... Tour. During concerts, the keyboard parts are performed by Jagger and Chuck Leavell. The song was featured in "Mars vs. Mars", an episode of the television series Veronica Mars.
