Marianne Faithfull's first hit, "As Tears Go By," was recorded when she was just 17 years old after she met with the manager of the Rolling Stones at a party.

She and Jagger began dating in 1966 and became one of the most glamorous and notorious couples of 1960s “Swinging London.”

Marianne Faithfull died Thursday in London at age 78. The singer, actress and "It" girl of 1960s London inspired — or wrote — numerous Rolling Stones songs.
