sentences: "Sleep Tonight" is a piano-driven ballad, with a restrained string arrangement, a heavy drum beat and a gospel-like vocal arrangement.The song shows a maturing musician and songwriter, and is a bridge between the younger Richards "outlaw" songs and the soulful ballads he became known for on later Rolling Stones records like "Slipping Away" ("Steel Wheels"), "The Worst" and "Thru and Thru" ("Voodoo Lounge"), "How Can I Stop" ("Bridges to Babylon") and "Losing My Touch" ("Forty Licks").
