    Marianne Faithfull and Mick Jagger

    Marianne Faithfull, an English singer, songwriter, and actress, had a notable relationship with Mick Jagger, the iconic frontman of The Rolling Stones. Their romantic involvement began in the mid-1960s during a period of cultural and artistic exploration. Faithfull's distinct voice and artistic presence made her a prominent figure in the Swinging London scene.

    Their relationship faced public scrutiny due to its unconventional nature, with Faithfull being younger and not conforming to traditional societal expectations. Despite the challenges, their connection played a role in Faithfull's association with The Rolling Stones and her contributions to their music.

    Marianne Faithfull provided backing vocals on The Rolling Stones' album "Beggars Banquet," released in 1968. Her ethereal voice added a haunting quality to tracks like "Sympathy for the Devil." However, their romantic involvement faced challenges, and by the end of the 1960s, Faithfull and Jagger's relationship had ended.

    Despite the ups and downs in their personal lives, both artists continued to pursue successful careers in their respective fields. Marianne Faithfull went on to establish herself as a respected solo artist, while Mick Jagger continued his iconic role as the lead singer of The Rolling Stones. The connection between Marianne Faithfull and Mick Jagger remains a part of the cultural narrative surrounding the dynamic era of the 1960s and the intertwining relationships within the music scene. 

  • Anita Pallenberg - backing vocals

    Anita Pallenberg and Keith Richards

    Anita Pallenberg, an Italian-German actress, model, and fashion designer, was romantically involved with Keith Richards, the guitarist of The Rolling Stones. Their relationship spanned a significant portion of the late 1960s and early 1970s, making Pallenberg a notable figure in the rock and roll scene.

    Pallenberg and Richards met during the filming of the 1967 movie "Performance," in which both were involved. Their connection grew, and Pallenberg eventually became Keith Richards' partner. The couple's relationship was marked by its intensity and shared experiences within the dynamic world of the music and counterculture of that era.

    During their time together, Pallenberg played a role in influencing Richards' style, both in terms of fashion and musical exploration. Her avant-garde and bohemian sensibilities had an impact on the Stones' image and, to some extent, their sound.

    The couple faced challenges, including legal issues and struggles with substance abuse. Despite the tumultuous nature of their relationship, Pallenberg and Richards had three children together: a son named Marlon, born in 1969, a daughter named Angela, born in 1972, and another son named Tara, born in 1976.

    Anita Pallenberg's presence in Keith Richards' life and her influence on The Rolling Stones' cultural and artistic trajectory during this period remains a significant aspect of rock history. Their relationship, though complex, was emblematic of the unconventional and rebellious spirit of the 1960s and 1970s rock scene.
