Die Stones mit „Anybody seen my baby?“ ….
The Bout: In 1997, just before the Rolling Stones‘ Bridges to Babylon is sent to the manufacturing plant, Keith Richards‘ daughter points out that the chorus of the track „Anybody Seen My Baby?“ bears a strong resemblance to K.D. Lang’s Grammy-winning torch hit „Constant Craving“ from five years earlier.
The Decision: With a world tour looming, the Stones are in no mood to delay the record. Instead, the band settles things amicably, altering the songwriting credit to include Lang and „Craving“ co-writer Ben Mink along with Jagger/Richards.
The Commentary: „I really admire K.D. as a singer,“ says Jagger, „but I wasn’t familiar with that song.“ Adds Lang, „I’ve always been a fan of the Rolling Stones and take it as quite a compliment.“
