Keith Richards sings the lead vocal on this one. Said Richards: "It's about all the good times I've had with people I did things for a night or two and then never saw again." This song is an interesting case where the title is never quite mentioned in the lyrics, but instead it's "she's my little rock & roll." The title also gets written as "Little T & A." The letters refer to "tits and ass," naturally.
This song is a tribute to the hard work and dedication of rock groupies: Watch Groupies, the 1970 documentary all about these talented people including Cynthia Plaster Caster.. Groupies have an oft-misunderstood place in rock history; many of them present the defense that they serve an active role in providing what little nurturing a celebrity can have when they're on the road staying in 200+ hotel rooms per year. Some of them, such as Sid Vicious' FWB Nancy Spungen, become what many would call a surrogate "road wife," traveling from city to city with the band. And for those of you who are interested in rock stars and groupies, one of the most famous groupies is Chris O'Dell who was with not only Richards and Jagger but also many others..
Credited to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, the "Little T&A" was largely authored by Richards. He first started writing the song in 1979 with the intent of having it featured on 1980s Emotional Rescue. Not featured on that album, the song was re-introduced 2 years later for Tattoo You..
