<P> The Rolling Stones recorded two versions of the song in 1964 . The first version ( a looser arrangement featuring a briefer , organ - only intro ) , recorded in London in June 1964 , was released in the US in 1964 , as a single from their album 12 X 5 . The second version ( more tightly arranged and featuring guitar in the intro ) , recorded in Chicago on November 8 , 1964 , was released in the UK on January 15 , 1965 on The Rolling Stones No. 2 . This is the version that receives airplay and appears on most `` best of '' compilations . Both versions incorporate elements of Irma Thomas 's recording , including spoken - word interjections in the chorus , a monologue in the middle of the song , and distinctive lead guitar . </P>
