What a great voice. I could listen to her singing or simply speaking all day. Something very special about her voice. Its magical. Its addictive.

[@marinam2281]

Wunderschön.Ich liebe dieses Lied.

[@carolynwilliams8705]

Watching Thelma and Louise yet again, I really listened to this. I love ballads and I pray for women in this situation and hope they find a way to cope with and loose the despair. I no everybody is not strong enough to cope with depression. Just seek help! Somebody 💕you

[@evegrossmann1532]

C'est la 1 ère chanson de Maria Faitfull que j'ai connu dans les années 1981 . J'ai eu un véritable coup de foudre pour cette chanteuse.

Thank you.

[@francisjubin3932]

Ma chanson prefere de Mariane j'adore

[@deepconnection1169]

Just magic. Wow. What a timeless song that was so ahead of it's time. Disco was still spinning in clubs when this song was released. Synthesizers were up and coming. Cutting edge technology for this time. What great sound they produced. And her voice! Well, she sounds fascinating even now. AHS, Liz brought me here. Love and admiration to Miss Marianne Faithfull.

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

All the synths were played by Steve Winwood, a master at the craft

[@joeblow7407]

A stunning beauty......!!!!!

[@michaelanyon5124]

Awesome Shel Silverstein composition with a brilliant live vocal from Marianne

Ooh! I've never seen this before, and I thought I'd seen everything on KZbin of Marianne. This is fabulous. Live vocal to backing track ❤ Thanks for posting this 👏

[@EricTerino]

My pleasure! It’s so great to hear her doing this live during that period!

[@Blondie101010100]

@@EricTerino Oh exactly! I saw her live in 2003 in Dublin and in The Threepenny Opera in the summer of 1991 in Dublin and I met her outside as she was going in. 🥰

[@leahmonday4686]

Oh, how I love you!

❤❤Tolle Stimme ❤❤❤

[@alainmartin3277]

Formidable comme tout ce a été fait par Marianne et cette voix unique. J'invite les français à écouter la version française de Marc Lautier : La Ballade de Lucy Jordan. Version française : Marc Lautier, allez y c'est épatant et surprenant !

[@user-el9un8ud3e]

Like it song, from to korea

[@pjmoseley243]

but Marianne faithful makes every song her own! no one sings those songs like her xx

[@jipangoo]

She's a legend, right?

[@jipangoo]

You'd put Broken English in the same league as Rodriguez's Cold Fact They're two albums that just about transcend a cult following... just inching into the mainstream while being still a bit distant

Marianne is Punk Rock

[@MrSebboxxx]

not really ...

[@yvesstoeckel193]

Elle est mignonne 😘

[@steveharris5008]

the guys on the couch are quite creepy...

[@tinagrant9593]

My thoughts exactly! I have loved this song forever but until today never actually seen her perform it.. and felt disturbed by the disconnect between the sentiment and power of the song and singer and the array of men on the couch behind her....

[@MrSebboxxx]

Ich mochte diesen Song von Anfang an sehr ...

mdr!

[@oliverjordan4430]

Ich heiße Lucy Jordan😂

[@e.priest8937]

Is this live? Sounds like the music is studio. It fades at end

[@andygarth5399]

its a live vocal to a backing track

[@yutbmird4185]

I think so, but sometimes I have doubts if its playback

[@fjspicer1]

The backing is too loud

[@eziodallago5466]

La ballata di Lucy Jordan Marianne Faithfull Il sole del mattino si accese leggermente Gli occhi di Lucy Jordan In una bianca camera da letto di periferia In una città di periferia bianca Mentre giaceva lì sotto le coperte Sognando mille amanti 'Finché il mondo non è diventato arancione E la stanza cominciò a girare All'età di trentasette anni Si rese conto che non l'avrebbe mai fatto Attraversa Parigi in un'auto sportiva Con il vento caldo tra i capelli Così ha lasciato che il telefono continuasse a squillare E lei sedeva lì cantando dolcemente Piccole filastrocche che aveva memorizzato Nella poltrona di suo padre Suo marito è al lavoro E i bambini vanno a scuola E c'erano, oh, tanti modi Per lei per trascorrere la giornata Potrebbe pulire la casa per ore O riorganizzare i fiori O correre nudo per la strada ombreggiata Urlando per tutto il tragitto All'età di trentasette anni Si rese conto che non l'avrebbe mai fatto Attraversa Parigi in un'auto sportiva Con il vento caldo tra i capelli Così ha lasciato che il telefono continuasse a squillare Mentre sedeva lì cantando dolcemente Belle filastrocche che aveva imparato a memoria Nella poltrona di suo padre Il sole della sera sfiorava dolcemente Gli occhi di Lucy Jordan Sul tetto dove è salita Quando tutte le risate sono diventate troppo forti E lei si inchinò e fece una riverenza all'uomo Che la raggiunse e le porse la mano E la condusse giù alla lunga macchina bianca Che ha aspettato oltre la folla All'età di trentasette anni Sapeva di aver trovato per sempre Mentre cavalcava per Parigi Con il vento caldo tra i capelli Compositori: Shel Silverstein

Marianne I met you with mick in 1963 with mick Sherbrooke road Fulham shirleys house 😂

[@thomasbestolofsson9328]

That audience... Zzzzzzz

[@raymund1281]

No, that's how it was in those days, long ago. The audience was there to listen and experience, and not become an intrusion.

[@bruceholroyd7063]

Dennis Locorriere from Dr. Hook performs it better!

[@benchapple1583]

That looks like a complete drug induced state to me.

[@jacquelineelsner2146]

Yep
