Angie's Appease

The Rolling Stones "Angie" was released as a 7" vinyl single on August 20, 1973.

There was a widespread rumor that the song was inspired by David Bowie's wife, Angela, who claimed in her autobiography that she found Bowie and Mick Jagger in bed together, a claim Jagger disputes. Rumor has it that Jagger penned the song to appease her, but it was actually Keith Richards, Jagger's bandmate, who composed most of it. Jagger had this to say about it: "People began to say that song was written about David Bowie's wife but the truth is that Keith wrote the title. He said, 'Angie,' and I think it was to do with his daughter. She's called Angela. And then I just wrote the rest of it."
