'''Marianne Evelyn Gabriel Faithfull''' (born 29 December 1946) is an English rock singer and actress.

Born in [[Hampstead]], London, Faithfull began her career in 1964 after attending a party for [[the Rolling Stones]], where she was discovered by [[Andrew Loog Oldham]]. Her debut album ''[[Marianne Faithfull (album)|Marianne Faithfull]]'' (1965, released simultaneously with her album ''[[Come My Way]]''), was a commercial success followed by a number of albums on [[Decca Records]]. From 1966 to 1970, she had a highly publicised romantic relationship with [[Mick Jagger]].
