Mick Jagger's ex shares intimate memories of rocker on his 80th birthday
Mick Jagger has " always had an eye for the girls" according to one of his former flames, who has paid tribute to the Rolling Stones rocker on his 80th birthday.
Singer Dana Gillespie had a fling with the legendary musician back in the 70s, when she said they had plenty of "fun and games" together. Dana insisted "nothing was ever serious", instead describing their romance as "one of those things".
" I've known him through all the years and like all of the musicians that I've known, we had fun and games in the 60s and 70s, but nothing was ever serious, not in my case.
"I have been married to music and more interested in music than anything else," she told The Mirror. Dana first met Mick when she was hanging out with David Bowie and his then-wife Angie Bowie - with whom she has admitted to having a threesome with.
She confessed in her memoir Weren’t Born A Man – also the title of her 1973 album - that her sexcapades saw her bed Ziggy Stardust and his first wife.

Dana spoke about her time with the Rolling Stones (Redferns)"W e were all in New York and I had a small fling with him. I would never call it a love affair. It was one of those things that happens," she went on to explain to Mirror.
Mick and Dana enjoyed some wild nights together as they spent time in New York with Bowie and Angie.
While Dana, Bowie and Angie stayed in the Sherry-Netherland Hotel, overlooking Central Park, Mick decided to stay round the corner in the Plaza Hotel. But that didn't stop the pals from meeting up, with Dana joking there's nothing musicians "like better than hanging out with some of their old buddies".

"Having said that, all the band would do exactly the same thing. He's very lucky. He's had the cream of all of the women."
