British singer Chris Farlowe recorded a version of "Ride On, Baby", produced by Mick Jagger, which was released in October 1966, almost 9 months before the Rolling Stones version.[2] Despite the success of its predecessor "Out of Time", which reached number one,[3] "Ride On Baby" did not even breach the top twenty, peaking at number 31 for two weeks in late 1966.[4] It became his penultimate single release to reach the top 40, the later being "Handbags and Gladrags" in 1967. The track is included on his album The Art of Chris Farlowe.[5]
