A defining voice of the 1960s, she first rose to fame with “As Tears Go By,” written for her by the The Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. After a tumultuous personal life, including her high-profile relationship with Jagger and battles with addiction and homelessness, she made a triumphant comeback in 1979 with her Broken English, an album that cemented her status as a fearless and influential artist. Over the decades, she continued to evolve, earning critical acclaim for her raw, emotive storytelling and distinctive voice.
