Marianne Faithfull is to be admired. She was a gorgeous woman. Her voice too, was beyond compare. As a person of her same approximate age, time does take it's toll. To remember is grand. But if I had only known her then. . .!
I didn't even know that this existed. I often wondered why on Rich Kid Blues she didn't sing songs like she did on her other LPs, thinking she may sound slightly like she used to if she stuck to the same style but now after hearing this I have my answer.
this was the event at which David Bowie tried to get her back into working - he invited her onto the show - at around the same time she did start acting in a lot of London plays - I saw her in one, 'Mad Dog' at Hampstead Theatre, with Denholm Elliot. David Bowie was in the audience there, too, so he had obviously taken her under his wing. But she still had a l-o-n-g way to go before she got clean and sober, and it shows. But she was always, and is now, very very very beautiful.
i don't understand why they have a track of her playing in the background -- it makes you realize how off key she is lol .. like was her mic supposed to be on mute or did they just add it in afterwards ? :S
either way it sounds sort of cool! like a duet between her sober & addict selves lmao. the audience is like wtf when is bowie coming back on stage haha
@n0ah9O5 Maybe the people running the sound were booting dope also. It is especially ironic to have the high self and the sober self singing a sad duet about regret of wrong past choices
Her eyes still shine bright..................:)
