Bangles frontwoman Susanna Hoffs has teamed with Elvis Costello to release a cover of The Rolling Stones' "Connection" in celebration of Stones guitarist Keith Richards' 81st birthday on Wednesday.
She notes of the collaboration, "I had the great honor of singing with Elvis at a couple of his shows, and it was a lifelong dream to record a song together.”
"Connection," from The Stones' 1967 album Between the Buttons, was written mostly by Keith but is credited to him and Mick Jagger. Hoffs says it's one of her favorite songs by the band.
"Connection" is available now via digital outlets.
"Today we celebrate the one and only @officialkeef on his birthday!!" read a post on the band's Instagram. "Happy Birthday Keith wishing you the best day." Meanwhile, Jagger shared a throwback photo of the two of them, writing, "Happy birthday @officialkeef! Love Mick," and Ronnie Wood shared a video of them playing guitar together with the message "Soul brother. Happy birthday Keith."
