Marianne Faithfull is the owner of one of the most fantastic broken voices in rock ‘n’ roll history. Marianne Faithfull’s long and distinguished career has seen her emerge as one of the most original female singersongwriters England has ever produced. Utterly unsentimental yet somehow affectionate, Marianne possesses that rare ability to transform any lyric into something compelling and utterly personal. And not just on her own songs, for she has become a master of the art of finding herself in the words and music of others. Born in Hampstead in December 1946, Faithfull’s career as the crown princess of swinging London was launched with As Tears Go By; the first song ever written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Check out her new album, Easy Come Easy Go – 18 Songs For Music Lovers. Marianne Faithfull is an intense artist. She’s elegant and moving.
