Singer and actress Marianne Faithfull has died at the age of 78 in London. She had one of the greatest voices in modern music, overcame terrible odds, at one time being a homeless junkie in Soho, and became an icon in her own right, not just Mick Jagger's girlfriend.

She was a peerless interpreter of the works of Weill and Brecht. In her later years she worked with Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, and PJ Harvey. And Keith Richards is adamant that it is was her, who wrote the lyrics for Sister Morphine, although she never got a writing credit for it.
