"Paint It Black" #1 6/11/1966

The Rolling Stones had the first hit single to feature a sitar, which ushered in a period of India's influence on pop music of the 60's. George Harrison played a sitar on the earlier "Norwegian Wood" but that was never released as a single. This Stones record was very popular with US troops during the Vietnam War, and was used in the "Full Metal Jacket" soundtrack. It was the third #1 in America for Mick and the boys.
