  • Wow, another great song from the 60s. I am a baby boomer (born in 1951) and just love being able to listen to all these old songs! Who would have ever thought back in the day that we'd be able to listen to our music on a computer! Whoo hoo!

    

  • roll another one, just like the other one . . .

  • Like my grandpap says - "What the hell is with the canned screams?"

  • How wild and beautiful she was! Plus the year I was born.

  • I was 13 then and had dreams about her....

  • 1965 was a great year. Things were changing quickly, music was too. Marianne was a good singer, she looked hot too. This video does not do justice to her good looks.

  • wow what a hottie!!!! :)

  • What a dolly bird! I know this is a British term, but I lived in the UK ffrom 70-74 and

    adopted many of their sayings.

  • Marianne if as beautiful as this song , for sure..

  • What a beautiful woman she was...Yes I would!

  • God this is awful - weak voice, no charisma - let's not big this up - she was from a very well to do family so she did not have to earn her way as most of us do. Basically, she was a groupie who Jagger fancied and as such got herself a career in the music business. Ever since she has achieved fame for detailing her addictions to various substances - poor little rich girl - makes me sick.

  • @ZEJTRSTJ shut up

  • @ZEJTRSTJ very true !! personally I still like it but your spot on ...

  • she is was for ever in my hart

  • Such an etheral beauty. She looks so sweet & innocent.

  • She was adorable.

  • marianne not marry ann

  • @fg6971 Yeah. Marianne is singing. Mary Ann was my girl in 1976. Thanks.

  • @ robie0788

    i remember the dress too,its called an empire line. when i was 16 a lot of high school girls looked great wearing an empire. this clip is dark and drab. the cool empire dresses of the mod fashion trend were colorfull,often paisley and flattering to the bust and leggs if cut short.

    19 year old marry ann has the voice and looks that melted my heart years ago but i like the stones version of this song more.

  • Innocence ? Perhaps more the calm before the storm ?

    She is so beautiful and sweet here though isn't she ?

    I want one !

  • Godess

  • That is innocence that will last a thousand generations...

  • Wonderful.

  • That dress makes her look figureless.

  • @vexviper That dress style was all the rage in 1965. I remember lots of the girls at school wearing them. I never thought it was very flattering either.

  • I would have done her ;)

  • she's so Beautiful with the voice of an angel god i love oldies they have so much meaning unlike the new music

  • the HOLLIES wrote Carianne in honor of her they were too shy to use her real name

  • especially without a hairbrush :)

  • it's not ez to do what she did

  • Prefer the Stones version.

  • Thanks, It was a wonderful, time to be young.... For some! Suzi, I'll always love you.......

  • What a sweet little british princess I luv her and the song

  • Smiling faces I can see but not for me...I sit &watch as tears go by....

  • This song is beautiful.

  • Great version Jagger is a songsmith

  • so zen, so poised

  • great singer ex junky no thanks to mick jagger

  • After just posting my comment, I was briefly running down the list of comments on this song. I liked what dermotoblong said ~ "she was hardly Joni Mitchell". How true for

    those of us who understand the genius of Joni, and the odds she overcame starting out.

    Love you all ~ Marianne. (Mary Anne) hee ...

  • I was 10 years old living in Oklahoma when I heard this song. I changed the spelling of my

    name from Mary Anne to Marianne because of this. Those were happy times. All of that music just coming out ! Beatles, Chad & Jeremy on & on ... I am 56 now and still am Marianne. It would just be too difficult to change all of my papers now, even if I wanted to.

    I made my choice a long time ago, and this is where it all started. A true story, by the way !

  • @Imissthepostoffice Wonderful story...

  • With Marianne would go on the record to what happened with Jim at the Circus.

  • Angelic Conversation!

  • Anyone for a Mars Bar?

  • I was a young teenager in 1970 when marianne and her then boyfriend mick jagger came out here to Sydney to make a film about Ned Kelly, a famous australlian bush ranger. Their relationship was breaking up, and she took and overdose and ended up in a coma. When she came out of it, she was sent home. I havent heard of her for years. She was gorgeous. This song brings back so many memories, of another era. It feels just like it all happened yesterday. Thanks for posting this.

  • calm down.she was hardly joni mitchell

  • I remember this young woman. I had a huge crush on her. ha ha ha those were the days my friend, and I actually thought they'd never end. go figure.

  • @TravellerFellow You and me too mate! I met her and Mick Jagger in Heathrow Airport back in sixty something. We shared a plane to Shannon Airport. I've thought about her ever since. I remember them both very well. (I'm sure they think of me often too) Sigh!

  • This video captures her innocence and sweetness at the time.

  • She was HOT back in the day..voice average but like many singers back in the day it was more stage set up and look then actual voice.

  • @wtbrownual The stage set up in the sixties was very simple compared with today. However the artists did not need elaborate settings, as they could sing and hold attention.

    Oh and Marianne's voice was certainly a lot more than average. She had a great voice and will always be HOT.

  • @TheDavidjoy she admitted herself she never really sang before they set her up with this song. For someone that didn't sing before she does very well but shes for the most part just talking the song along..when your that hot looking everything else can fall into place pretty easy

  • @wtbrownual Definitely hot. Perfect. Make sure that you see her outstanding dramatic performance in "Irina Palm".

  • A lot of Rockers got a piece of her, lucky bas**ds!

  • errata corrige mi piace bel brano

  • mi pice bel brano

  • Sorry, not much of a voice here.

  • THOSE days looked happy times

  • @uberalles,

    You are soooooo mistaken. Check out "Why'd you do it" by the same singer.

  • Muy hermosa la monita

  • She must be saving all her moves for another time and place.

  • @abstractexpressions Actually, I heard her say in an intervies that she was scared spitless during this TV appearance.

  • @cumomsandcureloms I guess that fear lent itself to the overall look of innocence she gives off in this performance. Part of me thinks that's exactly the look they were going for in helping to shape an image.

  • Comment removed

  • Oh jeez.... Oh dear....

  • Shaged every stone thet rolled beauitful

  • Mick Jagger wrote this for her

  • @56postoffice he didn't exactly wrote this for her but it's the first song he wrote with keith but they did'nt want to play it

  • @56postoffice ) No they did not, it’s one of the first songs written by Richards/Jagger that they did not want to record themselves,simple as. (their first self written songthat was a hit for them -‘this could ‘the last time’?)

  • Looks like she'd be a wildcat in bed. NOT!

  • BARDZO PIEKNA KASETA I ŚPIEW DZIEKUJE POZDRAWIAM MILUTKO

  • back in the day their were a lot of groovy little flower childs...peggy lipton, michelle phillips, twiggy, nico, but only onw MARIANNE....

  • great song but probably not a good idea to watch children play these days

  • @david1953ization No kidding, I was 17 on my motorcycle many years ago and was driving the hills behind Santa Rosa and came across this school out in the middle of nowhere..I stopped the bike to watch the children play..about 5 minutes later the principle came out and told me to get lost...lol so much for watching the children play

  • @wtbrownual It's pretty damn pathetic that we've become a culture so fearful of perversity,terrorism,pedophili­a,stalking & other criminal activities that an innocent & none intrusive act as observing, enjoying the simple activities of children playing (the way we all did at some point in our lives) is instantly perceived as a danger. All these violations noted, occurred in the past (perhaps even more than today) with one difference. They were'nt blown out of proportion and quietly prosecuted.

  • poor girl probably was

  • she looks drugged up and messed up.

  • no I'm not 60!

  • guess how old I am?...is a clue in my name

  • Sounds like a high school performance.

  • Beautiful..

  • lovely pussy makes the world go round

  • Poor girl. When they announced her and the audience started screaming she got this frighten look in her eyes. She looks like that through most of the performance, just standing on her mark with that look on her face and finale near the end she gets this look of relief on her face and she manages a slight smile.

  • What a delightfully restrained performance.

  • @TDSouledOut1 lol! Yes, beautiful voice, no personality.

  • Great to see this as I was too young to appreciate her at the time. Good melancholy song well delivered - actually far better than the Stones ever did - especially considering how young she was .

  • Awww, SHE'S CUTE!

  • I can only think of Mars bars when I see this video.  Don't ask!!!

  • What a lovely girl wilh a beautiful voice

  • "I would volunteer to be her airbag." - Joseph Huntington, PhD

  • Actually ZA for the ignorant amongst us, stands for Zuid-Afrika. Today, it would be called South Africa. We don't need a machinegun, much like you don't need a brain between those cauliflower ears ....

  • I remember this girl back then, she was kind of a novelty.I was also married to a Marianne for a scant couple years but her maidename was Unfaithful.

  • this must be the girl that mick was seeing when the beatles made the song..'and your bird can sing'..i read the song was directed at mick

  • mick was tapping that...lucky mick..she must have looked great naked...with an unshaven bush thank you very much...she cant sing and is a no talent by 60's standards...by 2012 standards she has a great voice...hahaha

    but i just saw her and she looks like an old leather shoe..gruesome...joni mitchel now looks like an oraguntan from planet of the apes...joan baez looks like shes dry as a prune and gracie slick looks like an old fat irish senior citizen

  • @ChiroQuacker where do you come from man???? that was one one of the most hilarious comments I've heard in a long time (knowing all these artists). You must be borderline genius.

  • @ChiroQuacker and your comment looks like spam.

  • Stunning looking woman then..!!!!!

  • You should see the version she sang in the 80's. Something seriously happened to her voice, and I noticed that she sounded like that voice you hear singing at the end of The Memory Remains, by Metallica. Sure as shit, it was her that did that vocal at the end of that song. Funny if you think about it.

  • @southernguitarist88 That is what happens after many years of drug abuse. Cheers

  • Nice song pretty girl good singer

  • Lovely indeed. But must disagree with so many who saw the 60's a some sort of social anarchy. Where I grew up, we respected the "fuzz", worked and studied hard and thought protesters and hippies were scum. We also cried when John and Bobby died. That's how it was for most of us then.

  • So Cute its astonishing !

  • Some of us can look back now and see what REALLY happened then! Everyone (youth movement) was trying to be different (everyone had long hair, bell bottoms, ect, ect) and all were walking to the socialist pied pipers sweat tune. And now that we are fully down this long march, we find ourselves being led by a Marxist who knows nothing of the freedom our fathers died for! And there are still those who can not see the pipper to this day! Still looking for that "hope and change".

  • @vincentkjones1 I know how one can bounce around You Tube and wind up some where they didn't intend to. It can happen easily enough. So is that what happened to you? Shouldn't you be watching Fox or listening to Limbaugh instead of being here?

  • how old was she back then?

  • @loonie26 ... 16 years old i have been told .

  • @frankymideer this was 1965 and she was born 1946 so she was 19

  • Very good

  • The 60's are a reflection of what we are experiencing today .The older generation trying to hang on to power at any cost , while the younger generation is fighting for openness and a chance to replace a corrupt system of the older generation . In time the you will prevail . And one day your generation will fight to hang on to it's power ! Baby Boomer

  • @RapidRay01 LOl I am of that generation and I am not fighting to hold on to power. Never lost my desire and fight for freedom and opposition to war and nanny state. Too bad for those who experienced the Vietnam war and Kent State to only sell their souls to yuppism. Yep- many of my fellow 60ish clan sold out. I am sad for them and us..... Smoke a joint and give a finger to the man. Now the man looks like Nazis and our freedoms are sold to so called security. Give me liberty or give me death.

  • there is still tons of segregation going on today where ONLY blacks are heard on 60s radio stations. reverse segregation where white artists are never heard unless they make ghetto trash music.

  • what a cutie....yet not chided by fame..we all love you still ms. faithful !

  • She was definitely a child of the '60's even though she's 19 here. I never really listened to her until I bought Broken English in '79. You could feel her hate for Mick Jagger all over that album. Some of that hate was probably justified.

  • She's an angel- an angel that later fell. But she's a survivor. Good going, Marianne.

  • The Stones version is much better.

  • @tedGEGI no it really isn't. However MF new recording from a few years ago IS a lot better, her gravely voice suits the song much more

  • She is so pretty and so cool but what the hell is that Girl Guide uniform shit she is wearing ??

  • @cspace1234nz it's called the height of fashion - not something I would expect you to appreciate at your age

  • @salerio61 Yes absolutely, the height of fashion.

    Of course there have never been any fashion disasters have there ??

  • BELLAAAAA!!!!!! 

  • I came of age in the 60s. It was a decade of extreme change (and of extremes). It was happy days, love, hate, war, peace, acceptance and racism. Once could find an example somewhere in that decade for virtually any superlative, negative or positive, one could write. It was definitely a wild ride!

  • @MrDuMeMi ..It's not over yet ...fasten your seatbelt !

  • @MrDuMeMi Brill time 60's, now I am 66 and still love 60's music

  • Haunting...

    

  • anyone out there also went to St Joseph's Convent, Reading, as I did just after she left? We weren't allowed to mention her!

  • @jmamcg

    Marianne's bestie there was Sally "Moonlight Shadow" Oldfield (sister of Mike). They were friends as both were from unusual families: MF the daughter of an Anglo-Welsh army intell. major who founded a utopian commune. Her mother a Jewish-Austrian Baroness & niece of von Sacher-Masoch ("Venus in Furs") who danced in pre-war Berlin erotic cabaret. The Oldfields were motherless & Sally the eldest cooked & kept house for her father and little brothers. Not usual convent material :)

  • Oh! god I'm dying...xxPhrail

  • Beautiful song and such a lovely lady!

  • This song like many others were a part of my generation along with the VN war, where such innocence was lost. Great songs back in those days. Let's keep their songs and memories alive.

  • WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THIS POOR CHILD ?

  • @HEARTHEANGELSVOICES you could try google or even (god forbid) wikipedia. I dO hope it wasn't a serious question - if it was please stay away from sharp objects

  • @HEARTHEANGELSVOICES She grew up and is a survivor. Still going strong.

  • it seems to me that mick took a innocent lil girl and destroyed her

  • Exactly!! these beautiful voices are not only natural, but its like they are speaking to me even though this one makes me sad. now thats music simply amazing

  • She touches me a lot, for this apparent static performance. But I can see how she expresses the meaning of the song, and this is too special. I just love her sing this song in this video. Thank you for having posted such a magnificent video.

  • So, did I mwntion i adored her?

  • Oh my, she was perfect, too bad he wasn't.

  • I seldom see females back then and think they are cute but wow....she is sweet.

  • I was 9 years old and remember being moved by this song and things havent changed for me a bit.

  • an honest voice, lovely analog color.. and without processing .. it's like a fresh air

  • A singing zombie..........a beautiful zombie.....

  • I just love the way Marianne sings this song. Her voice expresses the genuine sadness in this song.

  • roy wood said it best why does such a pretty girl sing those sad songs

  • what a beautiful face......

  • she was so hott

  • The 60's were a mixed bag, but here in the States, no matter where you lived you were served up fire hoses and dogs being set on protesters in the South fighting for Civil Rights, horrific scenes from the Viet Nam war , war protesters peaceful and otherwise being rough handled, arrested and the such all on the evening news.. but the majority of Americans still could leave their front doors unlocked, walk the streets unmolested, we felt safe.. No better time to grow up & we had the best bands...

  • @Irishharper the -à's definitely was a mixed bag.. and that included music.... I will not get into a debate by implying that the music then is better than today... however it was the divesity of music that made the 60's....... a diversity that one could hear on the same radio station.... listening to the the radio station in LA for example for one hour it was possible to hear motown, folk, rock, pop, back then, etc.... and people were open to hearing it all..

  • @Irishharper well i don't know what warzone you come from lol. But I can leave my door unlocked (at least during day), and i can walk the streets, day or night, unmolested. The funny thing is despite you "feeling" that way, crime was starting to rise at this time in the 60s, while crime has been usually falling since the mid 90s.

  • @unfortunatebeam Whahahah,you should come visit me in Africa.Bring your machine gun...

  • @BoerInc Really? So according to your profile you come from ZA, which is Zaire I assume? So your saying you need a machine gun to go or live there?

    Why/how is it that bad, and why do your people/leaders let it get that bad? What's going on? Why can't you get it together in your country? It doesn't sound like something to laugh at "BoerInc".

  • @Irishharper like the Beatles, the Animals and the Rolling stones

  • @mistertoshwell

    Check some Hungarian Bands from the same ERA :

    Omega, Metro, Illes,Bergendi, Nonstop, Neoton, like Omega " Gyongyhaju Lany ", or Koncz Zsuzsa " Rohan az Ido ", all from behind the IRON COURTAIN

  • @Irishharper and then there was procul harum, moody blues pink floyd - they were all pretty good all brits shall I go on?

  • @Irishharper Couldn't have said it any better.

  • @Irishharper a lot better & more free than now.

  • It is touching to see the young Marianne Faithfull, terrified and yet singing so sweetly.

  • Comment removed

  • ended up sleeping on a wall for some reason (according to her biog - heroin etc); now living a milionaire life style somehow, surprise surprise; all bollox of course; how do you stay in the limelight all your life with no talent for anything? She lost her looks 40 years ago for fucks sake, and she could never sing, compose or play; what exactly is she famous for - one fucking mars bar?

  • What the hell did The Rolling Stones do to this poor girl!!!!!....just kidding, I adore the cigararettes and bourbon busted Marianne about 1,000,000 times more.

  • I notice that she didn't need to wear a Halloween costume and have five clowns dancing behind her.

  • I am starting too... thanks Marianne... you looked so innocent then...

  • I'm starting to believe that angels exist ........

  • I Agree!The 60's were violent Chicago-8, riots demostrations Mississippi civil-rights movments,Assassinations,Cuban crisis,Vietnam-Korea Watts-Detroit,Mobs(Organized crime)-Helter-Skelter,Hell's Angels,Cold war,Apollo 13.The Beatles new record is a gas...yea!,and the band played on! The list goes on.The 60's made the wildwest look like church picnic.Kumba yah,pass the Fringgin' Tylenol!

  • The voice of an angel...

  • Canada loves Marianne.......

  • Marianne was 18 then and is still singing.

  • I love me some Marianne Faithfull.

  • The most beautiful mannequin, come to life.

  • I believe that This Little Bird" was here best soulful song. My opinion only.

  • @itdoesntmatter56789 Except wrote that. ASnd her "best": songs were written by her when she matured..she was just doing what she was told in 1965

  • @DavelovesRealMusic I meant DL LOUDERMILK wrote Thi Little Bird

  • She sure was a very good looking lass back then.

  • Unvergänglich

  • one of the better jagger/richards ditties, both versions are great, this is my favourite though.

  • Her version is just as good
