HAPPY
“Happy” is the tenth track on the Rolling Stones’ 1972 album Exile on Main St. and features Keith Richards on lead vocals. Released as the second single from the album in July 1972, “Happy” entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 69 on 15 July 1972 and reached No. 22 on 19 August 1972. (More from Wikipedia)
As with Lennon/McCartney, additionally some of the songs were written only by Mick Jagger, and others only by Keith Richards. Wikipedia gives as examples that Mick Jagger wrote “Sympathy for the Devil” and “Brown Sugar”, and that Keith Richards wrote “Happy”, “Ruby Tuesday”, and “Little T&A”. In the same 1995 interview (with Jann Wenner) mentioned above, Mick Jagger said: “I think in the end it all balances out.”
