The late singer, who died at age 78 in January , was best known for a slew of hits, including “As Tears Go By,” which was written by the Rolling Stones ‘ Keith Richards and Mick Jagger, with whom she had a several-year romance.
Now, a documentary about her life called “Broken English,” named after her 1979 album, has been released. It premiered on Saturday at the Venice Film Festival. The project was shot before her death last winter. 9
