(Classic Rock) Mick Jagger says he wasn't interested in talking business with James Brown when the pair met in the 1960s. The Rolling Stone's financial abilities are regarded by many as one of the reasons his band make so much money.

But the frontman, whose production company will release Brown biopic Get On Up on Friday, suggests it wasn't always so - while admitted he learned many lessons from the Godfather of Soul.

"James was always very nice, very generous; but he talked about business a lot and I wasn't that interested," Jagger tells USA Today. "I'd listened to Live At The Apollo intently - you can hear he's a great performer, and I was picturing how he would dance. Then I went to see him at the Apollo and I was blown away. I was impressed by how hard he worked, and how he had the audience in the palm of his hand. That was a learning experience for me." more on this story
