Marianne faithfull - Sister morphine

Marianne Evelyn Faithfull, Baroness Sacher-Masoch (born 29 December 1946) is an award winning English singer, songwriter and actress whose career has spanned over four decades. Her early work in pop and rock music in the 1960s was overshadowed by her struggle with drug abuse in the 1970s. During the first two thirds of that decade, and with little notice, she produced only two studio albums.

After a long commercial absence, she returned late in 1979 with the landmark album, Broken English. Faithfull's subsequent solo work, often critically acclaimed, has at times been overshadowed by her personal history.

From 1966 to 1970, she had a highly-publicised romantic relationship with Rolling Stones' lead singer, Mick Jagger. Several of the group's best-known songs were inspired by Faithfull, such as Wild Horses. She wrote Sister Morphine which features on their Sticky Fingers album.

Great song. Just wondering why people are arguing over who wrote it. The credits on my CD say: SISTER MORPHINE (Jagger, Faithfull, Richards). 'nuff said, I think.

Bravo Marianne for making it back from the never ending nightmare of addiction. Met you years ago in the States 20+years

Unless one has been through the wringer and coffin of addiction; you'll never know. I'm a lifelong drunk, but grateful, today, that I never ended-up on junk. Booze really ain't pretty. Always enjoyed this song before I understood.

every beatle and every rocker of their generation never had anything bad to say about mariaane. they loved and protected her no matter what. not only a fearless performer. a great writer and a huge part of music history... you people that only dwell on her downfalls, before you star tspouting bullshit, take a good look at your life and see how perfect you aren't
