In 'Sympathy for the Devil,' and 'You Are So Beautiful,' it's not the primary artists, but the intricate piano work of Nicky Hopkins that defines the emotion.
Nicky Hopkins played on over 250 albums, collaborating with major acts like the Beatles and the Stones, yet he remains largely unknown and underappreciated.
Hopkins's virtuosic piano chords provided a haunting power in classic rock songs, changing their trajectories and lending depth to their melodies, like in The Who's poignant tracks.
Despite his prolific contributions as a session musician, Nicky Hopkins has never received the recognition or financial rewards that reflect the magnitude of his impact on music.
