Bob Dylan recorded “Like a Rolling Stone” on June 16, 1965, a song that would become one of the most influential tracks in the history of popular music. Released as a single later that summer, the song marked a significant departure from Dylan’s earlier folk music style, featuring a rock sound that would come to define his musical transformation. The song’s success challenged existing pop music conventions and is often credited with altering the scope of what could be achieved through popular music, both lyrically and musically.
