DO YOU REMEMBER? Billboard #1 HOT 100 (This Week in 1973) The Rolling Stones: Angie Angie is a song by The Rolling Stones, featured on their 1973 album Goats Head Soup. Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and recorded in November and December 1972, Angie is an acoustic-guitar-driven ballad which tells of the end of a romance. The songs distinctive piano accompaniment was played by Nicky Hopkins, a Rolling Stones recording-session regular. The strings on the piece (as well as on another song, Winter) were arranged by Nicky Harrison. An unusual feature of the original recording is that singer Mick Jaggers vocal guide track (made before the final vocals were performed) is faintly audible throughout the song (an effect sometimes called a ghost vocal).... Released as a single in August 1973, Angie went straight to the top of the US Billboard Hot 100 and reached No. 5 on the UK singles chart. The song was also a No. 1 hit in both Canada and Australia for five weeks each and topped the charts in many countries throughout Europe and the rest of the world. Because of the songs length, some radio stations made edits to shorten it to 3 minutes, omitting the longer coda and the second instrumental section of the song.See More
