The musical hook is the riff written and played by Brian Jones. Today Jones would have been credited but not the Staple Singers. The Verve sampled and copied and recorded the orchestral version of the Last time, released in 1966(?). The copied it note for note, changed the instrumentation on some parts.

That's not even funny how ol' Keef and Mick are getting money from a song that sampled a completely original interpretation of a song that they stole in the first place! God forbid an artist like the Verve get creative with a short string melody, write some amazing lyrics and a great vocal melody to it and end up creating one of the best pop songs of the 90s. At least one person was able to make that terrible song interesting and catchy. ewww…The Stones didn’t even write the melody that was sampled in “Bittersweet Symphony” and “The Last Time” is a rip-off of an old gospel song called “This Could be the Last Time”!

Which means to say, they do sound just alike. Good find! We have that Stones album on vinyl. :D If you sync up the two videos just right, they work well together.
