history
The recordings took place between June and October 1979, Emotional Rescue is the band's second disco song after Miss You . The design of the song is a hint of the differences between Jagger and Richards. Although Richards played the electric guitar and contributed the backing vocals , he found that, unlike Jagger, the "disco style" did not suit him.
Jagger and Richards wrote the song on an electric piano, and it was clear from the start that it would be performed in falsetto (inspired by the Marvin Gaye classic Got to Give It Up from 1977). In the studio Jagger played the electric piano (with Ian Stewart ), and also sang the signature falsetto, Richards; As mentioned above: backing vocals and electric guitar, Ronnie Wood the bass guitar, Charlie Watts the drums, Bill Wyman plays the synthesizer (which you can hardly hear) and Bobby Keys contributed the saxophone solo .
Jagger said in an interview, "that the song is about a girl who has trouble with men, no madness, but just a bit uptight and there he (the protagonist in the song) wants to help her himself".
It was published on June 20, 1980.
