P.P. Arnold is an American-born soul legend known for chart hits The First Cut Is the Deepest and Angel of the Morning. Her career stretches across more than fifty years of pop and rock ’n’ roll history.  Sharing her story for the first time, P.P. Arnold details how it all began at the age of seventeen when she joined the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. Arriving in London in 1966 to support the Rolling Stones, the shy but vivacious nineteen-year-old caught the eye of front-man Mick Jagger. He persuaded her to stay in the city and record as a solo artist, leading to a five-decade career working with everyone from Jagger, Rod Stewart, the Small Faces, Eric Clapton and Nick Drake to Barry Gibb, Peter Gabriel, Roger Waters, and Paul Weller. Far from a gilded life though, after being forced into marriage while pregnant at the age of fifteen, P.P. Arnold went on to endure a string of personal traumas, including physical abuse from her husband, sexual abuse at the hands of her one-time musical mentor and, later, the tragic loss of her young daughter in a road accident. The legendary musician has survived it all and has continued to reinvent herself through the years – be that as a West End musical actress, a much-sought-after backing singer or a renowned pop and soul star in her own right.
