What year was the song "Angie" released?

“Angie” was released in 1973 by the Rolling Stones. It appeared on the band’s eleventh studio album, Goats Head Soup, and was issued as the album’s lead single on August 20, 1973.

The song was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and recorded in late 1972 at Dynamic Sounds Studio in Kingston, Jamaica. Its acoustic-guitar-led arrangement, piano part by Nicky Hopkins, and string arrangement give it a softer, more melancholic sound than many Rolling Stones hits.

The song is often linked to a specific woman, but the band has never confirmed one definitive inspiration. Richards said the name was connected to his daughter Angela, while Jagger’s lyrics focus on the end of a romance. Another common mix-up is confusing the recording date with the release year: it was recorded in 1972 but released in 1973.

“Angie” became the Rolling Stones’ seventh number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100.
