The Song
"Sleep Tonight" is a piano driven ballad, with a restrained string arrangement, a heavy drum beat and a gospel-like vocal arrangement. The song shows a maturing musician and songwriter, and is a bridge between the younger Richards "outlaw" songs and the soulful ballads he became known for on later Rolling Stones records like Slipping Away (Steel Wheels), The Worst and Thru and Thru (Voodoo Lounge), How Can I Stop (Bridges to Babylon) and Losing My Touch (Forty Licks).
