OT: RIP Marianne Faithful

[MADHAT1]

>She was a doe-eyed poster girl of the 1960s, plucked from obscurity by the Rolling Stones' manager at the age of 16 and given As Tears Go By, the first song ever written by Jagger and Keith Richards.

An international hit, her version was light and breathy, delivered in a folk-pop style that was to become her trademark during the swinging 60s.<

I suspect some here are too young to remember her or hear her recordings, but I sure do. She was an 60s icon.
