What year was the song "Tumbling Dice" released?

“What year was the song ‘Tumbling Dice’ released?” — The answer is 1972. The Rolling Stones released it worldwide as a single on 14 April 1972, making it the lead single from their double album Exile on Main St.

Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, “Tumbling Dice” developed from the Stones’ blues and rock-and-roll style into a loose, rolling groove. The recording sessions began in 1971 and continued into 1972, with work taking place at the band’s mobile studio and at Villa Nellcôte, Richards’s rented mansion in the south of France. That long recording history can make 1971 seem like a plausible answer, but the song was not released to the public until the following year.

The track became one of the Stones’ best-known songs from the Exile era. Its unusual rhythmic feel, blues influence and deliberately unpolished atmosphere fit the album’s sprawling character. The single was backed by “Sweet Black Angel,” and the band has continued to perform “Tumbling Dice” regularly in concert since its release.
