A tale of two Sixties

As the difference between Marianne Faithfull and Cilla Black shows, the Sixties weren't swinging for everyone.

Marianne Faithfull tells The Mail on Sunday that the best night of her life was one she spent with Keith Richards. "Even now it stands out. I think it was so great and so memorable because it was just one night. That was it. And we're still great friends."

Richards has admitted that he took Faithfull to bed to revenge himself on her then-boyfriend Mick Jagger after Jagger had slept with his girlfriend, Anita Pallenberg. He said he had to "jump out of a window" almost naked when Jagger came home unexpectedly while he was in bed with Faithfull and was in such a hurry that he left his socks behind. "Marianne and I still have this joke. She sends me messages, I still can't find your socks."
