Marianne Faithfull

Yes I wish her well too

quote:

she has recorded some great albums over the years.

Broken English is very good



I also have and like "A Child's Adventure".

And so is Strange Weather. I remember her as a haunting, if slightly louche beauty in the company of rock aristocracy, before anyone knew she could sing with such ravaged soul...

Hope she recovers well.

She wrote "Wild Horses", it's true. Larry

Also wrote the words to "Sister Morphine"..Larry

A slight confusion here I think. The apocraphal version is :

"Two songs of the Stones' 1971 album Sticky Fingers have direct or indirect Faithfull's presence. "Wild Horses"' chorus ("wild horses couldn't drag me away") was originally a phrase said by Marianne right after she went out of coma in 1969, after suffering an 150-barbiturate overdose in an Australian hotel; and "Sister Morphine"'s lyrics were entirely written by her, but she just was credited as a co-writer of the song after a legal battle."

It is also claimed that Keith wrote 'Wild Horses' as a lullaby for his son Marlon after being away from him on the road.

Rolling Stones songs written with or about Marianne: As Tears Go By, Sister Morphine, Wild Horses, and You Can't Always Get What You Want.



Good luck to her.

On records: North Country Maid, 20th Century Blues and Before The Poison are also very good.
