Angie is a song by the rock band The Rolling Stones, featured on their
1973 album Goats Head Soup. It was also featured as the lead single on
the album, released on 20 August 1973.The song is credited, as most
Rolling Stones songs are, to both Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, but
it is acknowledged to be almost completely written by Richards.
"Angie" was recorded in November and December 1972 and is an
acoustic-guitar-driven ballad characterizing the end of a romance. The
song's distinctive piano accompaniment, written by Richards, was
played on the album 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 Jagger's 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. Angie (song) Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
