Once again, keith is spinning a web. His daughter's name was originally "Dandelion" and she later changed it to "Angela", so how could have it been written about her right after she was born?

complete rubbish. Always hated this song always will. Don't understand the love for it. The worst song IMO that they've ever written.

I recall reading a quote of Mick's that stated it was Atlantic Records' idea for the strings.

Gorgeous ballad that was never quite as good live as it is on GHS.

Bump since it's track talk.
Since Nicky's on piano and supposedly sounding like he (Nicky) did on Lennon's Jelous Guy: Is the part where Mick sings, let me whisper in your ear/they can't say we never tried/i hate to see that sadness in your eyes, that little melodic hook, "ripped" from the main theme ("I was feeling insecure..." on Jelous Guy? Same notes. Different songs altogether of course.

I hate it. They sold their souls for commercial success beyond their fanbase. They even attached strings to make it even more schmaltzy. They did it only for the money. Many fans must have been very upset back then, I guess.

Sold their soul with Angie? And what about Lady Jane......
Stones are a Rock& Roll band with ballads.

Lady Jane belongs to the pop-days of the Stones, so it´s alright with me... But by the time of Angie they were the greatest Rock n Roll band in the world. And then they released a song schmaltzier then any Eagles-Song you can ever imagine... Ballads are nice, but Angie is schmaltzy-overkill, absolutely horrible.
