Marianne Faithfull - This Little Bird - Shindig

[1Bandia]

I love Marianne's voice, she has so delightful to listen to!

If there is one person who will forever typify everything that was the 1960's in Great Britain, it is Marianne Faithfull, her look, her character, and her lifestyle. She is an icon for everything that the teenage generation was back then. Timeless, ageless, and brilliant at what she did.

beauty and the beast (drugs) she persevered.

marianne supporter, been blocked elsewhere for my support of her. great video and big time supporter of her voice, yes drugs etc changed her but shes strong and has done her best to pick herself up and brush herself off. sad story bigger than life . love seeing her innocent, shame she had to fight off all those things in her life that woulda been happy to see her without one.

@TerraRysinYah Yes, you are so right my friend. I try very hard to understand all the guys on Youtube who criticise Marianne, they make good points about her average voice, lack of performance etc. However, to my mind, there is a certain ethereal beauty about her voice, performance and personality which overcomes all criticism of her. I can't explain it, but it is just there! She is quality, and I don't even know why! Love the girl and her singing! Thanks for posting.

@TerraRysinYah Terra, you are correct. The thing is that every singer especially those that were popular were breathing magical air and "tripping the light fandango"! Who cares! It was a great time to be young and alive.

This Song is Sad to Me. Kind of Like Marianne's Life.

She always looked so "fragile" to me.

[moxie96]

@desert3347 at that time she was petrified at singing on stage and being on tv along with it made her nerves get just that much worse a couple of years later she did loosen up just a bit

Too lovely, too young, caught in a web of drugs....

[v11n1man]

Brilliant A gein.!

[Ustinovia]

Another delicate song with typical lyrics for childlike images- very sweet and tender like Marianne's image then. Love it!

[stafylides]

@Ustinovia yes, and now she looks so .... rough ... must be the drugs and hard living she did then!
