10 Easy Questions about Back to Black

Arlen wrote the music and Mercer wrote the lyrics, specifically for Miss Garland who recorded her version in 1942.

Answer: Paint it Black

The Rolling Stones have been around since 1962, no easy feat in a world where bands disappear just as quickly as they appear. The words to "Paint It Black" are quite dark, literally, and, in my opinion as one who lived through it, reflect the social turmoil and political unrest that so defined America in the 1960s.
