Always loved this song. Went to see her at Peppermint Lounge and hung out with her backstage while she gave herself insulin injections. Turned out, the gal I took with me was an au pair from London living in Mineola and Mari was also an au pair and lived in Mineola. Small world. Mari Wilson introduced an entire post-punk pop generation to classic songstress tunes.
Thank you for putting this up - So many happy memories - still makes me smile - saw them Stirling 1983 - one of the best live bands I ever saw - love this song - when music was fun
Is My Real And Lovely And True Mum And That Is True And I Did Get My Mum Mari
To Wear This Black Dress And That Is True As Well And I Was With Mum Mari When She Did Sing This Song Are You There {With Another Girl} Live I Was Watching My Mum Mari From Be Side The Stage That Is True
Hey! Mari --how bout a tune from Teddy......If you do i'll give you----- a ring from Rome!!!.,---I'm a punk n' prog rock man myself but your SHOWPEOPLE LP,Is a masterpiece!!!!!! Only criticism of the CD re-release,-whatever happened to ECSTACY....A pale shadow of the original which i only posess on a now mangled-up iron oxide cassette.(Hey,that;s showin my age!) Anyway, keep goin babe!!!.
Never even knew this version existed -- I'm so used to hearing Dionne Warwick's original (and miss the video of it that was posted) -- this is an excellent rendition!
There was an awesome version of it up a while back -- she was singing on French TV, just showed her face from 3 different camera angles. Youtube took it down...
saw mari support squeeze at brixton academy in 1982,still to this day the best concert i have ever seen - went expecting a gig, ended up watching a complete show!!!RESPECT
