Bobby Keys did the incredible sax solo on "Brown Sugar". He toured with the stones almost continually since that time. A few years back he missed a Stones tour because he had major dental work and couldn't play. He either threatened or tried to sue the dentist, but it's more likely the years of hard living had caught up to him, as did the cirrhosis.

Bobby also played sax on 'Cant You Hear Me Knocking' from the Sticky Fingers album, along with playing on many other Stones tunes. Keys also played with John Lennon, Joe Cocker, and a veritable who's who of music industry greats. I met his son Huck once, and I asked him if his dad listened to Little Richard much.
Huck replied, "All the time", which explained a lot to me.
Just listen to Bobby's sax on 'Rip This Joint'-the best song Little Richard never did!
