The Rock n’ Roll Love Life of the Legendary Mick Jagger

Their years together were volatile and intensely creative. Faithfull co-wrote “Sister Morphine,” first released on her 1969 single and later cut by the Stones for Sticky Fingers, a stark token of the era’s dangerous glamour. The collaboration affirmed her authorship, even as chaos swirled around them.

They also endured the Redlands drug bust in 1967, a police raid that became a cultural flashpoint—and spawned a notorious “Mars bar” story Faithfull later dismissed as crude fantasy. The episode etched their partnership into rock mythology while exposing them both to Britain’s moral panic.
