what rolling stones song does bittersweet symphony sample
Bitter Sweet Symphony "Bitter Sweet Symphony" is a song by British alternative rock band The Verve. It is the lead track on their third studio album, Urban Hymns (1997). It is based on a sample it uses from the Andrew Loog Oldham orchestral cover of The Rolling Stones' song "The Last Time", and involved some legal controversy surrounding a plagiarism charge. As a result, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were added to the songwriting credits. "Bitter Sweet Symphony" was released in June 1997 by Hut Recordings as the first single from the album, reaching number two on the UK Singles Chart and stayed in the chart for three months.[1] The song was released as a CD single on 3 March 1998 by Virgin Records America, helping the song to reach number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2]
