Bob Dylan finishes recording “Like A Rolling Stone” at Columbia Studios in New York City. A young session musician named Al Kooper played the now iconic organ riff for which the track is known for. At 6:13 long, the record company was hesitant to release the single, and disc jockey’s shied away from playing it, but somehow the record ended up reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #4 in the UK. Kooper would go on to found Blood, Sweat And Tears, and the guitarist on the track, Mike Bloomfield would later form The Electric Flag.
