Black and Blue is the thirteenth studio album by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released on 23 April 1976, by Rolling Stones Records. Guitarist Mick Taylor quit the band in December 1974 as they were beginning to record the album. The band auditioned several replacements including Wayne Perkins, Harvey Mandel, and Ronnie Wood. The Stones' rhythm section, bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts, appear on nearly all tracks. Frequent collaborators Nicky Hopkins and Billy Preston play keyboards, and percussionist Ollie E. Brown plays on several songs. It was the Rolling Stones' third self-produced album with Jagger and Richards producing as "The Glimmer Twins". Black and Blue showed the band blending their traditional rock and roll style with heavy influences from reggae and funk music. The only single from the album, "Fool to Cry", had moderate chart success, reaching the top 10 in the US and UK; reviews were mixed.
