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.
