Well, I never planned on this being a musician's obituary blog, but when I found out that Marianne Faithfull just passed away, I felt compelled to do this since I had already planned on it anyway. I've always been a big fan of Marianne from the 60's when she had the sweet and demure hit, "As Tears Go By" and into the 70's and beyond.
By the time "Broken English" came out in 1979, she had been through a lot, the innocence was gone, and years of smoking had changed her voice. Her version of John Lennon's "Working Class Hero" on this album is amazing. She will be missed!!
