931. As Tears Go By by Marianne Faithfull (1964)

It is a myth that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote "As Tears Go By" as a response to Paul McCartney's "Yesterday." However, this is one of Jagger-Richards first original songs as the Rolling Stones branched out from a blues cover band. Marianne Faithfull scored a major hit with the song in 1964. The Stones manager forwarded the song to her since they weren't known for ballads. Following Faithfull's success, the Rolling Stones recorded their own version in 1965.
