Mick Jagger – Let’s Work (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987

Happy Labor Day USA!

“Let’s Work” was the lead single from Mick Jagger’s second solo album, Primitive Cool. Despite high expectations, it failed to reach the popularity of earlier Jagger singles such as “Just Another Night.” The music video for the song featured Mick running down a street with several collections of workers. It was the only track from Primitive Cool included on Jagger’s greatest hits album.

It was more successful in the United States, where it was the first single to be taken from the album and peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 (becoming their last main US Top 20 hit to date). It also made the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot Dance/Club Play chart, and it received extensive airplay on American rock radio, reaching number 1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks, Eurythmics’ only song to top this chart. The single was also a top ten hit in Australia, where it was released as the second single from the album.
