We’ll start with one of those oldies as we take this first hour and remember the late Marianne Faithfull, who passed away a few days ago. She was a major figure in swinging 60s British Invasion Pop music. In addition to being a singer, she was Mick Jagger’s girlfriend. After they ended, she went on to more or less reinvent herself from her image as a beautiful ingenue to a worldly woman who survived the often decadent world of 60s pop stardom. We’ll her recordings as well as other music she sang on and versions of her songs as done by different artists.
