One of my favourite 60's tunes, written by Jagger and Richards. I can't be bothered to look it up, but I'm sure she was Mick Jagger's girlfriend, hence him handing the song over to her to make her famous.

She was a heroin addict for years. It doesn't seem to have affected her lifespan though.

Sad news, 'The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan' gets played a lot here, chokes me up every time.

Well look at Keith Richards!!!

This Little Bird was another of her songs.
Sad news. RIP.

The Mars Bars kept her going.

She grew up in my hometown of Reading, so will be a big loss there. Sad news indeed.

Little known fact from the 'Girl on a Motorcycle' film.
The bike was a 750 Norton Atlas ridden by grand prix racer Bill Ivy, wearing a blonde wig.

Bill Ivy was a tiny bloke, scarce 5'4" talented rider though, if they'd thought about it they could have used Mike Duff later to become 'Michelle Duff'
