Jim Dickinson is the demented genius playing piano on Teenage Head by the Flamin' Groovies, Wild Horses the Rolling Stones, My Babe by the Jesters, aka, the last great record on Sun, as well as Spirit In The Dark by Aretha Franklin. He also produced Big Star's Third and Mudhoney's Tomorrow Hit Today. Just to name a few.
