NEW YORK (AP) — Marianne Faithfull, the British pop star, muse, libertine and old soul who inspired and helped write some of the Rolling Stones’ greatest songs and endured as a torch singer and survivor of the lifestyle she once embodied, has died. She was 78.

Faithfull passed away Thursday in London, her music promotion company Republic Media said.

I’m not very familiar with Faithfull but I know the songs. If she did Bilbao it’s got to be better than LL’s! (The boomer ancestors still play Lenya recordings. You’re on them, Mackie!)
