She definitely has a unique voice, Broken English is about the only album that I know of her discography, but if I remember correctly she was dating Hendrix and Jagger back in the day.

Exclamation Re: Marianne Faithful

She was actually Mick Jagger's girlfriend from late 1966 to 1970. The lyrics to "Wild Horses" were written about her. She was a real beauty before the drugs took their toll:



I'd say that "Broken English" from 1979 is her best album:



But I also like her early singles such as this one:

Summer Nights

According to her autobiography, she wrote Sister Morphine, but was uncredited. There is also a connection between Marianne, her new lover Jean deBreteuil, and the death of Jim Morrison, but you'd have to read my book to learn that.

Did the counter-culture die or was it murdered?

Holy Crap! I guess smoking does take a toll on your vocals. I knew she gotten ugly but I didn't know what a sweet voice she had before. I first heard her on the Metallica song

The Memory Remains



In which she added that really cool but definitely not sweet vocal at the end! It's worth anyone listening to for the very few who haven't heard that song just to hear the difference!

Marianne Faithful was an lovely creature in her day.
Her relationship with The Rolling Stones brought her some unique opportunities and sometimes poor choices.

Imo, the one woman Mick Jagger truly loved..if he is able to do so (the Ole Dawg ) His heartfelt Wild Horses is what makes me feel this way..He wrote a very openly loving and devoted love song for her...

too bad substance abuse robbed her looks/voice/and her Mick too..
Her talents weren't half bad and I really love this song she made in recent years with the Irish band The Chieftains..of of the Album 'Long Black Veil' The Chieftains

Such a classy and beautiful lass she was. Imagine being in the Stones's inner circle and having people like Marianne and Anita Pallenberg hanging around? Wow. It's a shame drugs took their toll but at least she managed to survive it all.

For me, Broken English remains her masterpiece.

'Couple intesting points before this idylic phase of her life and life with George Harrison ended. Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithfull came to their house one night. Jagger wrote on the Harrison’s wall: Mick and Marianne were here. Strange action for guests. The only thing I can figure is that Mick was marking out the limits of his territory like one of the big cats who go around peeing on bushes to set up their territory. '

*taken from a review of 'You Look Wonderful Tonight' by Patti Boyd

It's a bit silly , but I love that story

Mick and Marianne were a very hip couple in that era..I don't believe he was marking his terriory tho' !

It was just young foolish kids in love ..being naughty. Not unusual in those days !

Going through some old magazines to try and find some new tracks (to me at least) and I came across an album review for Before The Poison from '05! I dug this song and it makes me believe just like in the case of Johnny Cash, the music just sounds better when the voice where's and you're a good enough songwriter to embrace the flaws and use them! This song has a lot of character to it!

Interesting that the label clearly shows a release date of 1969 which predates the track's appearance on "Sticky Fingers" by about two years. It also clearly shoes writing credits to Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithfull and Keith Richards, while there was no mention of Marianne as a co-writer on "Sticky Fingers".

Maybe they bought out Marianne, Fox. That could be a good project to look into if there is anything on the net about that.


Edit: here is what Wikipedia has to say about the song: It was later popularized by the rock and roll band The Rolling Stones, who included it on their 1971 album release Sticky Fingers. It was originally credited to Jagger/Richards, but after a legal battle, Marianne Faithfull has been credited as co-writer.
