Rolling Stones song “Angie”

Angie Bowie has said for a long time that she gave The Rolling Stones the idea for their popular song “Angie” from their 1973 album Goats Head Soup. But, the people who wrote the song, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, have always said this is not true.

In 1993, in the notes for the Rolling Stones’ album Jump Back: The Best of The Rolling Stones, Richards said that the song’s title came from his new baby daughter, Dandelion Angela.

Later, in his 2010 book Life, he said that he just picked the name when he was writing the song and that it “was not about anyone in particular.” According to NME, the words of the song came from Jagger’s breakup with Marianne Faithfull.
