Brilliant tune and one of my favorites by the Stones of that period of time between 1968 and 1974!With Mick it is not about the quality of his voice it is about his expressiveness and intonation that presents each song the best way the band can.Now you will want to react to their tune called Ruby Tuesday. You will love it!
Mick Jagger 's vocals "tell the story", expressing emotion and lyrical meaning. Jagger's writing and vocal style was influenced by Bob Dylan, (greatest songwriter of the 60's and 70's). Dylan's "unconventional" singing voice, (you either love it or hate it), uniquely fit Dylan's songs perfectly. Similarly, Jagger's singing makes each Stone's song uniquely his. "Angie" is from the greatest 1969-74 period, when the Stones had Mick Taylor on lead-guitar, and Richards free to play rhythm. Try "Can't You Hear Me Knocking", "Sway", "Winter".
I'd always heard it was for Angela Bowie & so, when I read your comment I tried looking it up & this is what I found... The theory that it was Richards' newborn daughter was disproved in his 2010 autobiography “Life,” where he says that he didn’t know his daughter was going to be named Angela at the time that he chose the name Angie.
@@ZeeStranjelzhe was on stern and and said it was about his daughter dawg. Out the horse's mouth. Howard stern asked and he answered, and we know keef don't lie he just don't care what no one thinks lol so u should watch Howard stern interview with Keith, and it's recent
Both Keith and Mick are from from my neck of the woods in England. Mick has the Mick Jagger Centre performing arts venue named after him. Jagger and Richards went to the same junior song but lost contact with each other when they went to different schools, before meeting by chance on a railway station, so the story goes. As you know John and Paul met by chance early in the Beatles time line.
Just found your channel…and saw you discovered Rory Gallagher five days ago. Truly a master. I know you have people drop names to you all the time and I hate to be one, but I have to do so. He started with Mayhall as Clapton’s replacement, then moved on to make a name for himself as the man in front of Fleetwood Mac…Peter Green will blow your mind.
This is in my top 3 by RS. Along with Gimme Shelter (1), and Angie (2) and Wild Horses (3). Love the passion in this sound. You talking about Jaggers imperfect vocals - like Bod Dylan and later Tom Petty, their imperfect sound is their charm. Alot of Jagger's greatness in vocals is the unique inflections and cadence he uses with a near bluesy and drunk cockney kinda accent. Again this is similar to the unique qualities of Dylan and Petty - both amazing rock n roll / bluesy fusion singers.
Regarding Mick's vocal. He is singing in a blues style. You can call it "raw" or "weird". But there is actually a musical language to the blues that has been traced back to Africa using pitch shading among other things. There is a proper way to sing it and Mick is doing that. He may not be doing it great but he is doing it. That is actually great insight to understand that he is doing it very deliberately.
I'm Midway through but I have always stopped for a long time that with Mick jagger, you really have to treat it more like rap. I mean how many rap artists would you combine the requirement of they have to be Stellar singers? That limits all but a handful. If even that. He kind of straddled that middle ground early. But I do believe his singing is fantastic in this and I particularly love it in the heart jerker, wild horses, about an original band member that passed away. I bet you would love it.
Yes, I second the comment saying to try “Let it Loose” from Exile on Main St. (1972). Also, check out “I Got the Blues” and “Shine a Light.” Mick has a very unique cadence, but he was more than capable of delivering a very emotive and rousing vocal performance, as suggested above. Once you hear those songs, your opinion will likely change regarding his vocal prowess. Lastly, I was shocked you mentioned the boxer, Emanuel Augustus. He was one of the most unorthodox fighters of his era, but he lost many close yet controversial decisions. Some of his fights exceeded 2,000 total punches thrown. Hard guy to look good against.
According to Keith, Angie is his daughter. Not that the story in the song is about her, but the title was named after her. Don’t know who the story is in reference to.
From what I read, Angela Bowie (David Bowie’s ex wife) thought it was about her - but it wasn’t. Mick liked the name. Other than that, if it was really about one woman or one relationship, or the inspiration of more than one person, not sure.
Hey...great tune. This song has been reported to be about Angela Bowie, David Bowie's then wife and her relationship with Mick Jagger. The alleged story is more complicated than you can imagine.
Angie was the name of Bowie's wife at the time. The song was about David Bowie with whom Jagger had a love affair. Angie was thus a place holder for Bowie. At least according to the infamous unauthorized biography by Christopher P. Andersen. If it was really David Bowie the song was about, then it kind of makes sense to give implausible explanations like it's about Keith's daughter. It clearly is a love/breakup song. In this biography there are a lot of uncomfortable stories for the Stones.
U can say a whole lot more w/ a voice like James Brown's, as opposed to Mariah Carey's pristine delivery... That was the whole idea of the blues and early R&B music - not the most proficient or polished vocals, but the imperfections are what make the delivery so powerful compared to Frank Sinatra or Luciano Pavarotti... It brings in that human feeling rather than overpower the senses w/ an exceptional operatic vocal or smooth, pristine delivery. We all know Mick Jagger is not the most accomplished singer, but he is just exceptional in putting his emotions into a song. In hindsight, there are a lot of major songs w/ names that were not based on real people... Richard Marx wrote the song 'Angelia' about heartbreak, but he said Angelia was an air hostess that he met briefly and liked her name... Skid Row wrote the song 'Eileen' based on pure fantasy ... same w/ Nightwish and their song 'Eva'... Deep Purple and their song 'Anya'... Queensryche's songs 'Della Brown' & 'Lady Jane'... Oasis and 'Lyla'... etc. etc.
Micks voice fits perfectly for their style of music. Great rock voice
He stopped it at just the wrong time …satisfied HE SCREWED UP BY INRERRUPTIBG THE EXACT BEST PART! Always go BACK when stopping ! ☹️

Raw - his vocals are raw, but perfectly in tune and controlled too

There's nothing quite like listening to a song that's so simple but has such substance and musical strength and feeling.
Just great stuff.
"Angie" is a great song for the autumn when the leaves fall and the nights grow colder.
He interrupted tbe so f at the EXACT wrong time , screwing up the. BEST PART . needs to ALWAYS. go back a way when. Interrupting . Shame !!!
I was named after this song! I love it so much but also think it’s a pretty sad song to name someone after 😅
my favorite song since 1973
The greatest acoustic song by the Stones is Wild Horses!
Richards is a hit machine. He wrote this for his daughter. Keith was on Howard Stern recently and is worth a watch.

@@ZeeStranjelz He said what he said on the Stern interview. Angie and Wild Horses were written for his daughter.

I remember when it came out. Nobody thought anything about it. Different times.

One of the best sad love songs ever! dbl ♥
Think CCR & ABBA do creative official lyric videos too

Your reaction makes sense. Also on his voice. Try Let it Loose. I wonder if you likes his vocals in that song.

I read somewhere that, when he started singing, Mick was advised by a respected blues singer to keep the words a little indistinct
Check out The Rolling Stones little red rooster next. You’ll really enjoy it
🥰🥰🥰
This song is Keith Richards daughter Angela is what the song is about
According to Keith, Angie is his daughter. Not that the story in the song is about her, but the title was named after her. Don’t know who the story is in reference to.
I think this was co written by David Bowie. His first was Angie.
I hope you'll react to "Miss You"
Still my favorite Stones song.
I've always heard it was for Angela Bowie...
Keith's daughter Angela.

The song was written for Keith’s daughter, Angela
From what I read, Angela Bowie (David Bowie’s ex wife) thought it was about her - but it wasn’t.
Mick liked the name. Other than that, if it was really about one woman or one relationship, or the inspiration of more than one person, not sure.

sorry, it was written abut Angela, Keith's daughter. Or if you are from England, Keefs daughter.

It sounds like Mick
Take the time to listen to “Wild Horses” by the Stones. It’s amazing.

Actually Angela ,David Bowie's while promoting her book said that Mick and her had a brief affair and the song is about her.

No I get it. It.
's the meaning that he brings across
GHS great album
there's some The Who songs that do this type of video too
Angela Bowie, David's ex-wife claims that it was written for her.

Keith wrote it about his daughter.
This song was written about Keith's daughter Angela. Not Bowies wife.
