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.
