The British singer, who died Jan. 30, had her first hit in 1964 with "As Tears Go By," and returned to the song in 1987 and then again in 2018. In that time, she did a lot of living.

The legendary singer-songwriter Marianne Faithfull died Thursday at the age of 78 at her home in London. Dubbed one of the best singers of all time, Rolling Stone described Faithfull as an artist “who transcended ‘it girl’ status in the Sixties with a stunning second act as a singer-songwriter of earned hard wisdom.”

“It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of the singer, songwriter and actress Marianne Faithfull,” a Thursday, January 30, statement shared with the BBC read. “Marianne passed away peacefully in London today, in the company of her loving family. She will be dearly missed.”
