"Jumpin' Jack Flash" is a song by the Rolling Stones. The Rolling Stones are an English rock band. The song was released as a single in 1968. It is not on any of the band's studio albums. It is one of the group's most popular songs. Many music makers have made cover versions of the song, such as Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner. The Rolling Stones have played the song over 1,000 times at concerts.[5]
"Jumpin' Jack Flash" is a blues rock song. The band was known for making blues rock. However, the band also made other types of music, such as psychedelic music and baroque pop. Albums such as Between the Buttons (1967) and Their Satanic Majesties Request (1967) did not have blues rock on them. Because of this, "Jumpin' Jack Flash" was the band's return to making blues rock.[6][7]
