Ruby Tuesday

Classic Rock Rock
The Rolling Stones revealed a softer side with 1967’s “Ruby Tuesday,” a wistful ballad co-written by Keith Richards (inspired by a lost love). Brian Jones’s recorder adds to its lilting melody, enriching the song’s melancholy vibe. It became a No. 1 hit in the US and remains a fan favorite for its gentle, reflective beauty.
