"Lady Jane" is a song by the English rock band, The Rolling Stones, penned by the group's songwriting duo of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and initially included on their album, Aftermath, which was released on 12 April 1966. It showcased Brian Jones's instrumental incorporation of baroque rock as it was beginning to be introduced, and became influential in originating the musical style later known as world music. The song was released as the B-side to "Mother's Little Helper" single on 2 July 1966, and managed to chart in the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 24.
The song was written at a milestone in The Rolling Stones recording career that saw the musical collaboration of Mick Jagger,and Keith Richards emerge as the group's chief songwriters. On the band's previous album, Out of Our Heads, the duo shared writing credits on just three tracks. On Aftermath, however, the two were credited together on every track, making it the first album to be composed solely of original band material. It was also during this period Brian Jones, despite losing control of the band's output, was integrating different instruments into the group's repertoire. Joe S. Harrington has noted that The Beatles' harpsichord arrangement featured on the song "In My Life", in 1965, opened considerations for Jones to include baroque rock instrumentals.
