Songs with black in the title. Mixes like this are fun as they make you skip all over the genres to find stuff that fits, that you like and that you can use. I could make this one available if anyone wants it.

I'm in a Stones mood as of late, and I love that track in particular. Along with the one I keep including on mixes and Under My Thumb. And I would love to find that Blackbird cover.
