Marsha Hunt (Singer And Novelist)
Marsha Hunt Marsha Hunt (born 15 October 1946) is an African American singer and novelist. Hunt grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and studied at the University of California, Berkeley (at the time of the student riots) but in the late 1960s moved to Britain, where she is still living. She is the mother of Mick Jagger's first child, Karis Jagger (born November 3, 1970). Hunt, who at the time was a member of the cast in the London production of the musical Hair (playing Dionne), reportedly approached Jagger at a party and, rather bluntly, informed him that she wanted to have his baby. Jagger obliged her but would not enter into a long-term relationship with Hunt, who, consequently, had to bring up her daughter as a single mother (although she also wanted to make her way in show business). Jagger even denied being Karis's father and refused payments. A lengthy lawsuit followed, and a settlement making him support Hunt and their daughter was only reached in 1979. Hunt was also professionally associated with musicians such as Alexis Korner, John Mayall, Elton John, and Marc Bolan. In her later years Hunt has taken to writing. After her 1986 autobiography, , she published her first novel, Joy, in 1990, and her second novel, Free, in 1992. Hunt, Marsha
