‘Gimme Shelter’ — The Rolling Stones
Did you know that Keith Richards composed this song in less than 20 minutes, according to a legend? Isn’t it amazing how far we’ve come? The song “Gimme Shelter” had a long-lasting impact on people who heard it, and it continues to do so today. It was, however, “Let It Bleed,” which functioned as the album’s first track and was never released as a single, that served as the album’s opening track. The fact that this has occurred many times does not rule out the possibility of a solo single being released. The song was played by the Rolling Stones and others, including Florence Welch, Mary J. Blige, and Lady Gaga, as part of their 50th-anniversary tour, which began in 2012.
