Adam Faith - Message to Martha (1965)

[josparkes1]

The first song I ever sang was an Adam Faith song

Sparky

[poniran]

sorry ...not my style ....cheerz P

[swe50]

Why in the world do we have to discuss Faith´s sexual orientation in 2011? I feel frustrated and sad. What would it matter.? It´s too late, to bed him...When a man is sensitive and beautiful (not merely handsome but like very few such as Delon and Björn Andresen truly beautiful) there are always gayrumours. He was no fool and discovered the Who among other celebrities and no whimp at all..

[lavernemariebutler]

@swe50 Because intellectually we are moving backwards in a lot of respects in our current society. People are woefully small-minded. It was not like that so much fifteen short years ago.

[SchmedleyDoRight]

The whole 'gay' speculation phenomenon for handsome/pretty men is just a matter of PSYCHOLOGICAL PROJECTION by juvenile sensibilities. Just like the phenomenon of innocent teenaged girls (who develop adult characteristics early) frequently being accused of being 'sluts', handsome/pretty men are regularly assessed as gay. I was gentle-tempered, had light blonde hair, and was of slight build when younger. Got it all the time. Now a married (27 yrs) grandfather of 5, w/more angst and less hair.

@nalvojo I just opened your brilliantly-witty inquiry about how I may be helped out of my misery. Laughing my arse off, you stupid twat. Boo -hoo... cry me a river? Not bloody likely.

[nalvojo]

@SchmedleyDoRight

What means "twat" ? Don't know such. Hopefully something you wouldn't tell to your mum, do you? Answer clearly,pls - i'm not trained in dirty expressions. thanks.

[ChiefofBuddha]

this guy is fucked up on something

[intercomsec]

Isn't it amazing that people just say someone is gay just because they are a decent human being?

[misstheatrecat]

What a beautiful man... wish he was still here. Sadly missed :-(

[redredreds100]

hard to belive I was only ten, now i'm 55, and Adam Faith is gone, very sad

[nalvojo]

@redredreds100 ich kenn' das. war 16 in 1961.

[snoopy8607]

who gives a f--k weather adam was gay,straight,left handed,right handed.or what the f--k he was,he was a nice guy,and a great singer.

[haccuk]

@snoopy8607 Well said. I totally agree with you

[ingmo9]

What on earth does it matter if he was gay or not?? Havnt we come farther than tah in our days?? I get so totally tired of dividing people into this or that........

[MsAloneagain]

to: yedon68 - your just cynical you have no evidence of him being gay and please don't talk to me as if I don't know these things - I am far from stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[group4taker]

nice song & a great voice...........

[yedon68]

...was he gay.?

[MsAloneagain]

@yedon68 Certainly not. He was married happily with one daughter

[yedon68]

@MsAloneagain married w/ one daughter...means nothing...lots of gay men have sons and daughters...where have you been.?

[Witheredgoogie]

@yedon68

he died in a hotel room with one his mistresses

[heezabirddog]

@Witheredgoogie What A way to Go. Adam alwayas was one of my heros as a kid, even at the end he didn't let me down!  LOL

[brickmakersarms]

I agree with immortalcelsius Adam ~Faith had the ckassic model looks of todays male models, but he was also very talented, fabulous voice with a slight lisp which made him unique, loved this song and the way he sang it, i was 13 when this came into the charts, brings back such good memories, thanks for posting it

[immortalcelsius]

wow- what a face...he is a total "male model" of now in looks

[clare6572]

sadley missed

[jeffas100]

another song "stolen" by a white artist

[djr4565]

Thanks for pointing out that Burt Bacharach & Hal David are black. For over 40 years I thought they were white & Jewish.

[sopranosd]

@djr4565 - LOL! Yeah, right, I mean -- they could have fooled me. Shucks, in the Austin Powers movie, Burt Bachrach certainly looks white. And of course he has looked white in all of his t.v. appearances throughout his career. .... :)

[heezabirddog]

@jeffas100 AND????????? He made a better job on it then some. also it was wrote by white guys

[zaaritha]

Great! From my teens---so long ago!

[joc1977]

It makes me cry my favourite singer when in my teens. still love him a beatiful person R.I.P,

[neil03152]

thanks adam for being such a wonderful self effacing nice bloke. always loved you, and you were at the forefront of breaking all the crap music on the beeb radio we had to put up with before people like you came along. rest in peace - never forgotten

[goroundit123]

he ran a unit trust (mutual fund) in his latter years...

[markathickory]

Beautiful.....thanks for the post.

[adiebabe7]

adam is sooo beautiful on this video . love him always

[pljms]

Amazing to think that on a recent 3 disc, 75 track compilation of songs written by Burt Bacharach calling itself 'Definitive' they managed to leave this gem of a record off altogether.

[lyndloo]

Oh Adam!!! Im gonna cry !! I think of you bak in the Day!!! loved you lots and lots !!! r.i.p. I hope I have the chance to meet you in the next life !!! god bless xxx ..Lyndloo...

[blondiebabs]

[blondiebabs]

wow hes so beautiful....mmmm what a babe, r i p adam xxababsie

[glamfoxbuster]

What about Merril Osmond?

[poetical777]

Yes, he was a lovely guy in every respect. He was my favourite singer when I was a kid and I followed his career right up to his passing and I still listen to his music. Sadly missed.

[chriscrow1]

This guy was good.and I just love this song.

[sunflower7219]

Thank you so much for this video! Im only 36 so I didn't really see Adam live! This man was...and still is an angel! RIP Adam, I love you xx

[josparkes]

The very first song I ever sang in public was an Adam Faith song, Mix me a person or Mix me a poison as my father use to say. Was in Tripoli 1960 Sparky

[cathyhomann]
