Yeah, at this stage in The Stones years, Ry Cooder was a very important influence; he did after all teach Keith the open G-tuning with 5 strings. And years later, Cooder stated that the band "sponged" riffs and licks from him during these sessions, calling the Stones "reptiles". There was rumor that The Stones were going to ask Cooder to become a member; whether true or not, he would not have been a good fit personality-wise.
Here is a track from a recording session done without Keith during the Let It Bleed sessions, Richards was a no-show for awhile. An album was released on Rolling Stone Records years later.
And here is Cooder playing slide on a Jagger track:

Originally released back in '67 by Sandie Shaw (my favorite female artist from the Invasion). She's not performing with shoes on in this video; of course.
Paul McC. was in another studio (as a dance contest judge IIRC) when this pre-Invasion song was taped out in the UK. 1963.

I don't suppose there would be multiple posts of women from the 70s without a song or two from Ann and Nancy, but just in case...
The anniversary of Danny Kirwan's death was yesterday, June 8, 2018. This song was a collaboration of Kirwan, Jeremy Spencer, and John McVie. You'll see Christine McVie in the film; she was an uncredited member of the band on the Kiln House album (except for album art).
Offhand, I can't think of another band that went through so many significant personnel changes and yet remained relevant throughout its history as Fleetwood Mac.
In case you're not familiar, Kirwan is the rather frail looking blond, playing the Flying V. Lead singer (or at least his vocal was mixed forward by the engineer) on the track is Jeremy Spencer.

The only other that comes close would be Jethro Tull.
That old Fleetwood Mac makes me ask myself why I don't own more of it! That was great!

Fleetwood Mac from 1971. Jeremy Spencer left to join a religious cult and was replaced by Californian, Bob Welch. Welch wrote the title track from this album, Future Games, but I thought I might post this one from Christine McVie.

A salute to Brian Wilson, of The Beach Boys who passed at 82. From the first compilation LP of the group that Columbia House sent to me roughly 50 years ago...for perhaps $6.
ETA: Notes of interest; according to the Wikipedia, the "Endless Summer" album was released in June 1974, and stayed on the Billboard album charts for 155 weeks. Triple Platinum sales. I still have this on LP, and "Spirit of America" from my teen years.This message has been edited. Last edited by: rat2306,
