"Miss You" by the Rolling Stones was No. 1 on the Billboard pop chart 40 years Tuesday.
Drummer Charlie Watts says he and Mick Jagger enjoyed going to discos in the '70s. He told an interviewer, "It was a great period. I remember being in Munich and coming back from a club with Mick singing one of the Village People songs and Keith went mad, but it sounded great on the dance floor."
