"Let's Spend the Night Together" is a song written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and originally released by the Rolling Stones as a double A-sided single together with "Ruby Tuesday" in January 1967.

[2] Recording engineer Glyn Johns recounts that while mixing "Let's Spend the Night Together", Andrew Loog Oldham was trying to get a certain sound by clicking his fingers.

In the United States, the single was released in January[2] and became the opening track of the American edition of the Stones' album Between the Buttons.

Cash Box said the single is a "strong, thumping, rock venture marked by groovey harmonies.."[8] On their The Ed Sullivan Show appearance of 15 January 1967, the band was initially refused permission to perform the number.

It was also issued as a single by RCA Records in the US, Japan, Brazil, New Zealand and Europe including the Netherlands, Italy, France, Greece and Sweden.

The singer added his own words as part of the finale: They said we were too young Our kind of love was no fun But our love comes from above Let's make ... love Author Nicholas Pegg describes the recording as "faster and raunchier" than the Stones' performance with "a fresh, futuristic sheen",[31] while NME editors Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray considered Bowie to have performed "the unprecedented feat of beating the Stones on one of their own songs", remarking on the track's "polymorphous perversity" and "furious, coked-up drive".
