Yes, Kenney Jones. Woody got him up at like 3 in the morning to get down to the studio because "he had Jagger there". In Max Weinberg's book, "the Big Beat" in which he has converstions with 14 famous drummers, he speaks to both Jones and Watts. They both told the story. Joke was, Watts said to Kenney when Jones apologized for moving into his territory,"It's alright, it sounds like me anyway." Actually, if you listen, it has all the Kenney Jones sound, deeper snare, and, listen particularly to the cymbal work which is classic Kenney Jones.

"Till the Next Goodbye" aired on DON KIRSHNER'S ROCK CONCERT the same week as "Ain't Too Proud To Beg."

>"The Big Beat" is a great book. Haven't thought about it for years. Need to find my copy. Hope it wasn't lost in the flood.
Speaking of Max Weinberg's "The Big Beat"-book: Ever discussed Bernard Purdie's claims on this board, that he was used for recording drum tracks (substituting for Charlie Watts) at Stones-sessions in the 60's?

<<I'd love to hear Bowie vocals>>
If you can stand this extremely low-fi live recording (from November 14, 1974 and dubbed to random 8-mm footage), you'll hear him blending the IORR chorus into the chorus for Diamond Dogs--which is a good indicator of what the main influence was, musically, for IORR. Was it perhaps a Jagger-Bowie song?
