A tribute to the life and work of one of the great musical icons of the twentiet
h century, reflected through the lenses of the world's greatest photographers. P
ublished to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of the release in 1964 of her
groundbreaking debut single "As Tears Go By," this is the definitive book on Fa

manager of the Rolling Stones. Over the five decades since, her work as a music
ian, her performances as an actress on stage and screen, and her presence as an
icon of style have made Faithfull an undisputed icon of pop culture.
