Brown Sugar

Singers, Actress, Model and Author Marsha Hunt was what you would call a badass no time for games, type of a female, which was rare in the sixties.  That probably added to what drove Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones into her bed screaming for 'Satisfaction' from this 'Brown Sugar'.  The Stones singer started an affair with Marsha, under the nose of his then-girlfriend Marianne Faithfull.  He became so obsessed with Marsha, he wrote the song 'Brown Sugar' in tribute to her.  The hot and heavy couple had a love child in 1970 named 'Karis' she's 44 years old.  Hunt and Jagger's relationship grew salty, when she was pregnant, to the point where the Rolling Stones lead singer denied being the father, and wanted nothing to do with his child.  After a long court battle, which Hunt eventually won.  Jagger known for being very frugal was not a happy camper.  Jagger met his daughter when she was twelve years old.  Today the father and daughter have a fairly close relationship.   Earlier this year when her Jagger's designer girlfriend L'Wren Scott committed suicide, it was 'Karis' who handled the funeral arrangements, and consoled her father.  He stayed at her house during the time of the funeral services.


Hunt is a remarkable woman, she battled cancer in 2005 and won, she has written several novels, and also a Memoir.  Most people always want to talk about her past relationship with Jagger, which she rarely does.  She credits herself for 'Karis' normal upbringing, away from the flashily life of fame and drugs.   Marsha known for her gigantic hair, when diagnosed with cancer, she underwent chemotherapy, she opted to cut it off rather than watch it fall out.  After cutting off her tresses, she decided to keep it very short, and sometimes bald.  Today she lives abroad in France, and has no desire to look back, to a time when she was young girl growing up in Philadelphia.
