Step into the captivating world of rock 'n roll history with our latest podcast episode, as we delve deep into the enigmatic title that has become a timeless classic. Join us as we explore the compelling story behind "Angie" by The Rolling Stones, released in 1973.
In the early '70s, the Rolling Stones found themselves at a crossroads. With inspiration waning, personal troubles mounting, and various addictions taking their toll, the bad boys of rock were facing a challenging time. Fleeing London for tax reasons, they became increasingly banned in several European countries due to Keith Richards' conspicuous drug consumption. The turning point came in March-April 1972 when Keith Richards underwent detox in Vevey, Switzerland, by Lake Geneva.
As Richards emerged from the critical phase of detox, he seized his guitar and, in a single afternoon, composed a song he titled "Angie."
But who is Angie? Wild rumors circulated, linking the song to American actress Angie Dickinson, who had a brief affair with Mick Jagger, Anita Pallenberg (Keith Richards' partner), a dedication to their daughter Angela Richards, or even Angela Barnett, David Bowie's wife, who claimed on television to have caught her husband in bed with Mick Jagger. However, the truth is simpler, almost mundane.
Join us as we unravel the layers of this iconic track, exploring the personal and musical journey that birthed "Angie" by The Rolling Stones.
