The World Of Marianne Faithfull

About

Few stars of the ’60s have reinvented themselves as successfully as Marianne Faithfull. Coaxed into a singing career by Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham in 1964, she had a big hit in both Britain and the U.S. with her debut single, the Jagger/Richards composition “As Tears Go By” (which prefaced the Stones’ own version by a full year). Considerably more successful in her native land than the States, she had a series of hits in the mid-’60s that set her high, fragile voice against delicate orchestral pop arrangements: “Summer Nights,” “This Little Bird,” and Jackie DeShannon’s “Come and Stay with Me.” Not a songwriter at the outset of her career, she owes more of her fame as a ’60s icon to her extraordinary beauty and her long-running romance with Mick Jagger. -- Richie Unterberger, Allmusic -- Track listing 01.
