Marianne Faithfull - remembered 29 Dec. 1946 - 30th Jan 2025 a British Pop/Rock icon , selected by Yours Truely: music written by the Rolling Stones, Kurt Weill amm
Marianne Evelyn Gabriel Faithfull (29 December 1946 – 30 January 2025) was an English singer and actress. She achieved popularity in the 1960s with the release of her UK top 5 single "As Tears Go By", and became one of the leading female artists of the British Invasion in the United States.
Born in Hampstead, London, Faithfull began her career in 1964 after attending a party for the Rolling Stones . From 1966 to 1970 she had a highly publicised romantic relationship with Mick Jagger. Her popularity was overshadowed by personal problems in the 1970s, when she became anorexic, homeless and addicted to heroin.
Faithfull was noted for her distinctive melodic, high-register vocals during her 1960s musical career. Her voice was altered by severe laryngitis and persistent drug abuse during the 1970s, which left her sounding permanently raspy, cracked and lower in pitch.
After a long absence, Faithfull made a musical comeback in 1979 with the release of a critically acclaimed seventh studio album, Broken English. The album was a commercial success and marked a resurgence of her musical career. Broken English earned Faithfull a nomination for a Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance and is regarded as her "definitive recording". Faithfull performed in The Threepenny Opera at the Gate Theatre, Dublin, playing Pirate Jenny. Her interpretation of the music led to a new album, Twentieth Century Blues (1996), which focused on the music of Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht as well as Noël Coward . A hugely successful concert and cabaret tour accompanied by Paul Trueblood at the piano, culminated in the filming, at the Montreal Jazz Festival, of the DVD Marianne Faithfull Sings Kurt Weill (Wiki)
