Ten love letters Mick Jagger sent to girlfriend that inspired hit Brown Sugar fetch more than £185,000 at auction. They are the passionate love letters Mick Jagger wanted to keep under wraps. Written in the summer of 1969 to his secret lover Marsha Hunt, they reveal a tender side to the Rolling Stones singer rarely seen in public. Jagger is understood to have made it clear to his former girlfriend that he wished to keep them private – but she had other ideas. Yesterday, they went under the hammer for an incredible £187,250 after a three-minute bidding war at Sotheby’s. The 10 letters, said to paint a picture of Jagger as a ‘poetic and self-aware’ 25-year-old, were written to the American-born singer while Jagger was in Australia. In one steamy note, he promises Marsha: ‘I will kiss you softly. And bite your mouth too.’ In other letters, he is more poetic, musing: ‘If I sailed with you around the world/All my sails would be unfurled.’ Miss Hunt provided the inspiration for the Stones’ 1971 hit Brown Sugar and gave birth to Jagger’s child Karis in 1972 after a three year love affair.

Mick grew up in a town in the UK that was just down the road from where I lived. In different years of course though.
