tween June and October 1979, "Emotional Rescue" is a disco-influenced number, somewhat similar to the band's 1978 hit "Miss You". The song is notable as one of the earliest songs by the group to show the growing rift between Jagger and Richards. Although Richards plays guitar and added backing vocals towards the end of this track, he is noted to not have liked the direction in which Jagger was trying to take the band with disco-like compositions, although this may have been exaggerated by the press and Richards' hard-rock-oriented image. The song is based around a bass line played by Ronnie Wood. Also notable is Jagger's singing of the song in a falsetto similar to Marvin Gaye's lead vocal on his 1977 hit "Got to Give It Up". Bass guitarist Bill Wyman plays synthesizer on the record, while Jagger and Ian Stewart play electric piano. The Rolling Stones - Emotional Rescue (M. Jagger/K.
