Tonight’s mystery artists had a hit song that according to band members would have existed if it hadn’t been for the Vietnam War. Can you guess the band or song??

In fact Rolling Stone Magazine has called this one of the band's greatest songs ever in their list of the Rolling Stones' 100 greatest songs.

Turns out the inspiration for the sing ‘Street Fighting Man’ was not a street fight but a anti-war demonstration back in 1968 in Grosvenor Square witnessed by Mick Jagger. Another unusual thing about this song from the Stones is that except for the bass they use no electric instruments. Although Mick wrote the song it was Keith Richards who wrote:

"You wouldn't have had 'Street Fighting Man' without the Vietnam War."

Here are The Rolling Stones with tonight's featured song.
