You Gotta Move (song)

The Two Gospel Keys recorded "You've Got to Move", which was released on a 78-rpm record in 1948. Emma Daniels (vocals and guitar) and Mother Sally Jones (vocals and tambourine) comprised the gospel music duo. Similar renditions followed by Elder Charles D. Beck (1949), the Original Five Blind Boys of Alabama (1953), his lyrics include: ==Later renditions==

Soul singer Sam Cooke recast the song with lyrics about a broken relationship for his 1963 album Night Beat. Cash Box described it as having "top shuffle-rhythm blues sounds". In 1965, Mississippi bluesman Fred McDowell recorded it as a slow, slide guitar hill country blues solo piece. The song generally follows a seven-bar or an eight-bar blues arrangement and has been compared to "Sitting on Top of the World". but adds a haunting slide guitar line that doubles the vocal. A verse from the song is inscribed on his headstone: In Internet culture McDowell's version has been used for several memes themed around racism against Black Americans, mainly in TikTok, such as the Jamal meme. Some of these memes have received criticism from several users for allegedly promoting said racism. ==The Rolling Stones version==

McDowell's rendition inspired many subsequent recordings, including a version by the Rolling Stones. The Stones regularly performed "You Gotta Move" during their 1969 US tour. They recorded a version at the Muscle Shoals Sound Studios in Alabama in December 1969, with later recording in England in 1970. It was later included on their 1971 album Sticky Fingers without a songwriter's credit. Later reissues listed the authors as McDowell and Gary Davis. Mick Jagger sings the song in a Southern black dialect, with Mick Taylor's electric slide-guitar accompaniment. Two different concert versions are included as bonus tracks on the group's ''Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! (1970) album and another on Love You Live'' (1977). The latter features Billy Preston, who had played when he was 16 years old on Sam Cooke's 1963 version.
