She was so achingly beautiful here. Breaks my heart to think of what this business did to her. I understand personal accountability but she was a sheltered, shy teenager who was put into a situation she couldn’t handle, was manipulated by shady business men and hangers on, then tossed out and left for dead once she worn out her usefulness. I’m glad she managed to have a redemption story in her later years.
I am 61 years old, come from The Netherlands and I am a big big fan of sixties music. This lady had such a sultry pleasant haunting sound. Made several beautiful songs. Very pleasant to listen to and watch. I was born in 1960, so I didn't really experience it consciously, but my older siblings always played this kind of music. Always fascinated me the sixties. Not everything was rosy of course in those days. But that music from that time. Can't get enough.
Absolutely beautiful song. And beautiful girl singing it. Always amazed at how little animation she did while performing. Yet I still set there mesmerized by her. She has a hauntingly beautiful look.
In those days it was about the sound of the music, not the whole vaudeville-type show that they put on these days with all the dancers and pyrotechnics.

Who's playing this in 2021 like me? Memories of those far-off day? Memories tinged with sadness? Reminiscences and Memories crowed you mind? Thinking of long lost friend? or heyday of your life. Whatever it is, I want to hear your story..
Dunhill...I landed here because I am obsessed with youth and old age. I have a file of many people (mostly famous) of when they were a full of youth & beauty - and when they are old. I don't know why I do this. I do know however, beauty lies within. I was adding Mick J to my scrap book and stumbled upon Maryanne. Getting old is rough. But as Abe Lincoln said, "In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."
Brian Epstein, Beatles manager, dead within a year after this. The song Tears Go By" seems appropriate, so sad. Marianne Faithful so cute back then. This maybe be one of her first Television appearances, she seemed so serious, and maybe scared with eyes darting around during the musical bridge. Then as she sensed the song was coming to an end and she had done so well, a cute smile came over her. . Me, at 14, I had a such crush on her then, and I loved this song too. Such a lovely young lass was she.
I'm 72 (from Germany) and this was the beginning of the great Pop Invasion from the Uk to Europe which inspired the world. forgotten in all these comments is the fact that Marianne is also a great actress playing Ophelia in a famous Hamlet Production.
777,To be fair, our parents didn't like our music either, on the other hand I now like my parents type of music as my taste in music has expanded to include many types
@@macraghnaill3553 Dear Mac, I'm 72 but I'm still highly interested in current pop music. Maybe the crisis today, some exceptions, has really to do with music itself. Classical music has had the same problems, since Mozart, no essential new creations, but some composers who have been influenced. I remember (1967), my father sitting next to me, on radio: "We've gotta get out of this place" by the Animals. He could not speak English (I'm from Germany) and just responded: "Do you call this music?" - The contradiction: He wasn't interested in classical music either - but after all, he accepted my taste. Coldplay is a very good band, Adele is super, and the Killers: "Human" is one of my all time favourites, despite the 60s-80s. But I'm critical concerning mixtures, it all started with Hardcastle's "19" and now it can't be stopped. But maybe it's a sign of times.
I was said to look like her when I was young the reason my husband went out with me. She was thought of as hot by the majority of men and I had a problem keeping my virtue because of it. I ended up getting rid of my blonde hair dying it red at the end of 1969 due to that...how silly of me I should have wallowed in it and become cool and teasing during the time and enjoyed my younger years. Marianne's vioce has changed since its gone rather deep I dont like her singing at all now.
She was before.my time, but I saw her on "Girl On A Motorcycle", A decent, but nutty film. I like her version better than the Stones. Due to Charlie Watts demise, I can imagine there are a lot of tears now.
Excellent, there will be no singers like we had in 50s and 60s. Salute to you singers and musicians, you all are always in our hearts ,you are evergreen. Thanks for the love you have for all.
What a wonderful video this is. The way it captures the very essence of the sixties and the way we see Marianne here. She didn't have to do much, she was quite mesmerizing to watch and to hear her speak. Thanks for sharing this one.
My first Mrs was pretty in a similar way, but Marianne had that wonderful well bred, appealing demeaner, and possessed incredible sex appeal, every lad I knew loved her to bits.
hahahah and now.............? opening for a joke or a heartfelt message. I am 66, and THAT was a Primo Year. When did the Golden Bubble of Pop finally, well, pop?
@@gbone7581 Exactly. Nothing's changed. It's all about music executives on the gravy train. Artists are expendable, they come and go. Hats off to Marianne for her guts and fortitude to renew her life and career on her own terms.
I was elven years old then, and we had an outside toilet,coal fires,blankets on the beds and no hot water and single glazed windows that had ice on the INSIDE in winter,like millions of others but if I could keep my central heating,combi boiler,triple-glazed windows and my wet room,I would go back like a shot.
As Tears Go By by Marianne Faithfull is a timeless classic that never fails to tug at the heartstrings. The song's haunting melody and poignant lyrics are a testament to the singer's immense talent and versatility. I can't help but think of Mary Poppins when I listen to this song. It's as if the lyrics were written for her! The song's melancholic tone and wistful lyrics perfectly capture the essence of Mary Poppins' character. I can imagine her singing this song as she flies away with her umbrella, leaving behind a trail of magic and wonder. Truly a beautiful song that will always hold a special place in my heart.
One of my favourite ever clips of the 1960s. Paul Anka introduces Brian Epstein who introduces the wonderful Marianne. What a singer. What a song. Happy birthday Marianne, 29 December 2021. We're all so glad you're still making great music.
I was 14 years old in 1965 when I met a girl named Faith at summer camp .. for a long time after summer camp I listened to ' as tears goes by ' and 'sealed with a kiss '
Marianne had a warbler's voice. For this song, she was very conservative. When she belts it out, her voice is very unique and recognizable. Fifty-five years ago. Wow! I remember watching "Hullabaloo" on our crappy b+w tv. Long before the advent of cable, we had to climb up on our roofs all the time to adjust our antenna. I lived near Griffiths AFB (Rome, NY), in Utica. Everytime a plane flew overhead, it completely mucked up reception. You young-uns can relate: it's like when you're outa range of a cell tower or your computer goes down. Same thing, different day. The Tone Poets: thanx for the memories.
Gorgeous, I remember her doing this, loved the song, a Mick and Keith penned classic, and her soft, languid, beauty was a joy. Contrast that with her other, completely contrasting, brilliant LP 'Broken English,' about 1979, another classic. Love this girl.
What a wonderful video! It is the first time I have seen Brian Epstein live, although he was always a household name as a manager of the Beatles. And although Marianne Faithfull was still very young and a bit shy, you can still see the later singer and actress. An icon from the 60s, who made a completely new start.
err... what does you mean with "full of shit"? Propably some heroine and cocain... and other drugs... rethink the 27er-club. they died like flies... because of the drugs, mostly heroine killed em.
Steffen Jonda I am sure John is talking about the modern day performances with egotistical artists making every show a statement about something controversial. There was a ton of that at this time though (hippie and psych rock shows) so I don’t really agree
as a storefront mannequin Marianne, lip syncs through an honest and genuine highly over produced Rolling Stones cover... yeah it's as genuine as it gets...
James Bradley McCallum While the song was written by Mick, Keith, and Andrew Oldham, it was written for Marianne. These shows may have them lip syncing (which was beyond the artists’ control), but the song itself feels a lot more like a genuine tune which ISN’T A ROLLING STONES COVER As for the point of her stillness, it kind of adds to the song itself to sit there (“I sit and watch”). What do you want her to do? Dance to this song?
@@societalrevival1218 i don't want her to do anything.... it is what it is.... I like her and her music.... my point concerned the nature of genuineness .... that and nothing more
Marianne does a wonderful job in singing this song...she is beautiful. I was in the Air Force when this was popular....while in Germany...I wanted to be transferred to England so I could meet this beautiful girl...and singer I almost got to England...an assignment to South Risliph...close to London..but that did not materialize...I was unhappy. Stuck in Germany.
@@joyceketelhut5366 She was badly used by him. its hard to take in how cruel it was now. she was a homeless druggy when one rainy night she was recognised laying on the street around Piccadilly near to deaths door by an old friend who took her in and gave her friendship and shelter like you would when lifting a wounded bird and placing it in a shoebox, in the hope it would recover, and thankfully she did.
The ending interview is as good as the song itself. They speak so kind and normal. I mean, interviews at that time were rather like an interrogation, while today's interviews are so calculated.
I think she owed more to Andrew Loog Oldham , manager, and the Stones (and Mick Jagger, in particular) than anything to do with Epstein. In a VERY early interview - so early that I'm probably the only person who remembers it - she said that she was at a party and she was persuaded by someone (Oidham?) to sign a recording contract because she had a "commercial face" . The rest is history. The party sounds like fun.
@@severnboar I didn't talk about Marianne Faithfull. I was speaking about Brian Epstein in general. Sure she was very close to Loog Oldham and the Rolling Stones and not to Brian Epstein.
@tinwoods I thought it was clear for everybody but I see that it is not for you . WITHOUT Brian Epstein there would not have been The Beatles. He was the first to discover them, he was found their first contract with a Label and he was a GENIUS changing their rock and roll image with a totally new style : long hair and suits. Paul himself said he was the fifth Beatle. No Brian Epstein = No Beatles.
@@fredsroussifrederic3174 that's not how that works. Somebody would have disccovered them anyway because they already had adoring fans by the time Epstein would have come along. He is the one who profited off of it and certainly he is the one who orchestrated our timeline of events, but to suggest that Pink Floyd needed his promotion is laughable at best. It's simply a case of which brand of manager did most people at that time go with and Epstein represented that brand. Music can be meaningful without reaching the masses. It used to have much more local flavor too, where ever you went. It was a commercialization of that which led it to our ears. It could easily have found it's way on it's own too. We knew how to record and play on devices. We knew too, how to send off music over the airwaves. We weren't baning our heads against rocks wishing upon a star that someone would come along and sort out some goodies for us. Someone just bullied their way in and did, that's all.
@@youtubynotme It is SO absurd what you say ! ''Somebody would have discovered them anyway '' . how do you know ? The future is not written ! I remind you that many label records didn't want to sign them at the beginning ! Brian Epstein insisted and was successful with Parlophone. The only thing we are sure about is that IT IS BRIAN EPSTEIN who discovered them and make them The Beatles. Everything else is simply guessing !
Glad to know that Marianne is living in Paris! It's a great honnor for the French people !!! She is an outstanting woman ! Long live to you ! Marianne Faithful!!!
Trenton Jennings Pretty good. From memory, Jagger and Richards were locked in a room by Andrew Loog Oldham and asked to come up with something. Jagger came up with this and quite quickly too.
She said that she was so nervous that her knees were clanging together so they sat her down in that pose. It was the only one where her knees didn’t have any space to shake.
Jo Simpson what are you talking about? She said so in an interview. I’m not making this up. Exact wording. Marianne in her later years lets it all hang out. Besides, what’s so crude about that? I don’t get it. People get nervous.
Hi Bruce, thanks for the insight. I’m 52, and have had to do public speaking in front of thousands and hundreds or tens of people without training, and still do.... I recognise THAT nervousness and the disguising of it a mile away.... cruel, but look what it created I guess. Cheers from OZ
I remember 'Brian Epstein from London'. Anything England-based was gold at that time. Us Yanks couldn't get enough of it. I was of course in love with Marianne Faithful and my first kiss was even with a girl who looked like her. Wow, this video was made 56 years ago.
I was a freshman in college when I first saw and heard her sing this song.....had a huge crush on her...amazing era for songs thru the 60's....glad I grew up then....youth of today missed out on the Boomer generation....
By the looks of her body expressions and the nervousness in her eyes you can tell that this may have been her breakthrough performance on a national venue. She looked petrified. I wish UA-cam had later clips of her performances on camera as she became more comfortable infront of the camera.
She often said that she was just so young when she recorded this that she had no real idea of what the song was about. Some blame that fact for her rather monosyllabic performance. Really doesn't matter... good song, good voice.
@@g.c.1956 Actually you're right... wrong word.... monotonal is what I was looking for... must have had a senior moment when I typed that LOL. Very flat performance and it seemed as if she was trying to rush through it and get it over with. Mick supposedly was not happy with it either.
@@shaunelijah455 true, great song, true her voice is pretty good.... not saying her voice is bad, but there's no emotion to her singing this song, no feeling for what is being said. Even Mick supposedly said that looking back, she may have been too young for this..... oh and btw, I'm no one's "brother"... sister yes, brother no ;)
The first time I heard this song I thought she was portraying a girl who was drained of emotions from the loss of a first love, and I thought she did a good job of it.
One of my dad’s favorites way back when.....sometimes we forget our parents were once young.....he’s now 72 and when I was growing up he raised us up very strict and conservative values . I always loved listening to rock n roll much to his annoyance but when he caught me listening to this song one day he said how he thought Marianne was one of the most beautiful girls of his day.....maybe he was jealous of Mick Jagger!
O sweet innocent times of youth so young and so fine,as tears go by and years pass by i reflect on my pass and wish I was 16 back in my time of the 1960s of innocence of great times of songs like as tears go by,👌✌️️😘🙌🌈💟,
@calihartley2010 You are right and I am wrong.I had it confused with Peter and Gordon-World Withoút Love.Apologies. Sources indicate it was written by Mick J. and Keith R.for Marianne F. Regards
She was so achingly beautiful here. Breaks my heart to think of what this business did to her.

To moon glow- the year is July 2020. I am still enjoying , this music from the past. My wife just passed away, wished she could have been here.
Listening too. My husband passed away two years ago. Hugs to you Richard.
Gorgeous, I remember her doing this, loved the song, a Mick and Keith penned classic, and her soft, languid, beauty was
a joy. Contrast that with her other, completely contrasting, brilliant LP 'Broken English,' about 1979, another classic.
Love this girl.
What a perfect match of a beautiful melody, lyrics, voice and the face of an Angel
I may be old, but I got to see all the good bands and super HOT 60’s girls!
Me too
Just gorgeous fell in love with this beautiful lady’s voice as a young school boy growing up in Yorkshire 🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
Hello from Germany, when i was young i sang in a band and sang this song
hello Claudia
Claudia Katz-Palme I’m sure you have great memories of that time.
@@jimgag2 hey jim, not really, i havent been born yet. But hey, these girls really did something new, i love them
I like how showing no emotion in your singing was accepted in this era. Today it would be considered boring. I find it quite the contrary.
I find it relaxing.
I was there @ the time the song was popular, and her performance in this video is odd and it seems she may have been high.
and she was pregnant with her child, so
would hope not. it wasn't the greatest time her life i think...
I don't think she was on drugs at the point, she just looked shy and nervous.
U.dont.see.her.emotion?
What a wonderful video! It is the first time I have seen Brian Epstein live, although he was always a household name as a manager of the Beatles. And although Marianne Faithfull was still very young and a bit shy, you can still see the later singer and actress. An icon from the 60s, who made a completely new start.
A gorgeous woman singing a beautiful song written by Jagger and Richards and introduced by the man who made the Beatles famous.
There's something genuine and honest about these performances the singers aren't full off shit
err... what does you mean with "full of shit"? Propably some heroine and cocain... and other drugs... rethink the 27er-club. they died like flies... because of the drugs, mostly heroine killed em.
Steffen Jonda I am sure John is talking about the modern day performances with egotistical artists making every show a statement about something controversial. There was a ton of that at this time though (hippie and psych rock shows) so I don’t really agree
as a storefront mannequin Marianne, lip syncs through an honest and genuine highly over produced Rolling Stones cover... yeah it's as genuine as it gets...
James Bradley McCallum
While the song was written by Mick, Keith, and Andrew Oldham, it was written for Marianne. These shows may have them lip syncing (which was beyond the artists’ control), but the song itself feels a lot more like a genuine tune which ISN’T A ROLLING STONES COVER
As for the point of her stillness, it kind of adds to the song itself to sit there (“I sit and watch”). What do you want her to do? Dance to this song?
@@societalrevival1218 i don't want her to do anything.... it is what it is.... I like her and her music.... my point concerned the nature of genuineness .... that and nothing more
1965 - 1973. The best years in music.
I've always loved this song! I also love her album Broken English. Unique voice and lyrics! All the best music is from this era and the 70s.
LOVELY and GIFTED...what a song !
Marianne does a wonderful job in singing this song...she is beautiful. I was in the Air Force when this was popular....while in Germany...I wanted to be transferred to England so I could meet this beautiful girl...and singer
I almost got to England...an assignment to South Risliph...close to London..but that did not materialize...I was unhappy. Stuck in Germany.
She was abused by mick Jagger. She was just an kid and introduced to drugs, alcohol.
@@joyceketelhut5366 She was badly used by him. its hard to take in how cruel it was now. she was a homeless druggy when one rainy night she was recognised laying on the street around Piccadilly near to deaths door by an old friend who took her in and gave her friendship and shelter like you would when lifting a wounded bird and placing it in a shoebox, in the hope it would recover, and thankfully she did.
A hundred percent thumbs up! Great song! I like it.
Those of us who lived it know what a special time it was . Oh how I miss it.
The ending interview is as good as the song itself. They speak so kind and normal.
I mean, interviews at that time were rather like an interrogation, while today's interviews are so calculated.
Without the genius Brian Epstein the world of music would have been totally different ! Thanks Mr. Epstein !
I think she owed more to Andrew Loog Oldham , manager, and the Stones (and Mick Jagger, in particular) than anything to do with Epstein. In a VERY early interview - so early that I'm probably the only person who remembers it - she said that she was at a party and she was persuaded by someone (Oidham?) to sign a recording contract because she had a "commercial face" . The rest is history. The party sounds like fun.
@@severnboar I didn't talk about Marianne Faithfull. I was speaking about Brian Epstein in general. Sure she was very close to Loog Oldham and the Rolling Stones and not to Brian Epstein.
@tinwoods I thought it was clear for everybody but I see that it is not for you . WITHOUT Brian Epstein there would not have been The Beatles. He was the first to discover them, he was found their first contract with a Label and he was a GENIUS changing their rock and roll image with a totally new style : long hair and suits. Paul himself said he was the fifth Beatle. No Brian Epstein = No Beatles.
@@fredsroussifrederic3174 that's not how that works. Somebody would have disccovered them anyway because they already had adoring fans by the time Epstein would have come along. He is the one who profited off of it and certainly he is the one who orchestrated our timeline of events, but to suggest that Pink Floyd needed his promotion is laughable at best. It's simply a case of which brand of manager did most people at that time go with and Epstein represented that brand. Music can be meaningful without reaching the masses. It used to have much more local flavor too, where ever you went. It was a commercialization of that which led it to our ears. It could easily have found it's way on it's own too. We knew how to record and play on devices. We knew too, how to send off music over the airwaves. We weren't baning our heads against rocks wishing upon a star that someone would come along and sort out some goodies for us. Someone just bullied their way in and did, that's all.
@@youtubynotme It is SO absurd what you say ! ''Somebody would have discovered them anyway '' . how do you know ? The future is not written ! I remind you that many label records didn't want to sign them at the beginning ! Brian Epstein insisted and was successful with Parlophone. The only thing we are sure about is that IT IS BRIAN EPSTEIN who discovered them and make them The Beatles. Everything else is simply guessing !
STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL MARIANNE WITH A BEAUTIFUL RENDITION OF A BEAUTIFUL SONG QUALITY NEVER GOES OUT OF STYLE 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Love everything English...the lovely accent...and MARIANNE FAITHFULL !! 👏👏♥️♥️♥️
Glad to know that Marianne is living in Paris! It's a great honnor for the French people !!! She is an outstanting woman ! Long live to you ! Marianne Faithful!!!
Oh dear, I remember it in great detail as soon as I saw the still!!! And she is still alive!
So sweet, so simple.
2020...Anyone enjoying the song with me? ❤
I'm with you.
Claire Wu this si ger women is so sweety delicius
Claire Li Yup❗️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😎😎✌️❗️
I,m with you sweetness.
That's a moving song, poetry really. And pleasant to see a young singer evidently growing in confidence.
Trenton Jennings Pretty good. From memory, Jagger and Richards were locked in a room by Andrew Loog Oldham and asked to come up with something. Jagger came up with this and quite quickly too.
Still as beautiful in my soul all these years! 💖
This fantastic song to me represents what the 60s were all about. God bless everyone
Hi Pat, How are you doing?
@@thomasbowman960 doing great. Enjoying retirement. How about you
@@patearly9492 doing well thanks for asking .
My pleasure to meet you, Where are you from Pat?
Hi there Thomas I've lived in several places in Ohio and North Carolina as a clinical social worker and am now happily retired in Ohio. How about you?
I always love that song.
She had a really pretty voice & a great song to sing !
She said that she was so nervous that her knees were clanging together so they sat her down in that pose. It was the only one where her knees didn’t have any space to shake.
That’s a joke for sure hahaha
Bruce Stewart Crude. No need for that.
@@josimpson6038 oh yeah. I love the song anyway and so the singer.
Jo Simpson what are you talking about? She said so in an interview. I’m not making this up. Exact wording. Marianne in her later years lets it all hang out. Besides, what’s so crude about that? I don’t get it. People get nervous.
Hi Bruce, thanks for the insight. I’m 52, and have had to do public speaking in front of thousands and hundreds or tens of people without training, and still do.... I recognise THAT nervousness and the disguising of it a mile away.... cruel, but look what it created I guess. Cheers from OZ
Remember listening to this in the garden when I was 9 -
time certainly has gone by since those days...
I remember 'Brian Epstein from London'. Anything England-based was gold at that time. Us Yanks couldn't get enough of it. I was of course in love with Marianne Faithful and my first kiss was even with a girl who looked like her. Wow, this video was made 56 years ago.
I Loved Marianne Faithful, Marianne Faithful where ever you are.....I still do!❤February 2020
you and many others
I love this song forever... can listen to Marianne's version, as well as Mick Jagger's any time!!! ~~
Hello Miriam, how are you doing?
I was a freshman in college when I first saw and heard her sing this song.....had a huge crush on her...amazing era for songs thru the 60's....glad I grew up then....youth of today missed out on the Boomer generation....
She's still alive, despite all night lives. Stay safe, Marianne & all folks!
My God, after all the drugs and stuff she's alive? Blimey, hope for us all. Bravo Ms Faithfull.
@@tonyves She just survived a bout of Crona virus
By the looks of her body expressions and the nervousness in her eyes you can tell that this may have been her breakthrough performance on a national venue. She looked petrified. I wish UA-cam had later clips of her performances on camera as she became more comfortable infront of the camera.
Always loved this song!
Wonderful music never to be repeated!
I am still loving this! Loved Marianne Faithfuls voice! Especially perfect for folk music.
One of the Stones best songs they gave her , they did it as well . Mick and Keith put way more heart in it.
I guess since they wrote the song, it meant more to them.
The music is so good to my ear....
Music takes me to a time long gone. We were young once, in my mind with the tunes playing, I close my eyes.......
She often said that she was just so young when she recorded this that she had no real idea of what the song was about. Some blame that fact for her rather monosyllabic performance. Really doesn't matter... good song, good voice.
No brother GREAT song and GREAT voice
I don't think that word means what you think it means. ;)
@@g.c.1956 Actually you're right... wrong word.... monotonal is what I was looking for... must have had a senior moment when I typed that LOL. Very flat performance and it seemed as if she was trying to rush through it and get it over with. Mick supposedly was not happy with it either.
@@shaunelijah455 true, great song, true her voice is pretty good.... not saying her voice is bad, but there's no emotion to her singing this song, no feeling for what is being said. Even Mick supposedly said that looking back, she may have been too young for this..... oh and btw, I'm no one's "brother"... sister yes, brother no ;)
The first time I heard this song I thought she was portraying a girl who was drained of emotions from the loss of a first love, and I thought she did a good job of it.
I STILL LOVE LISTENING TO THIS MUSIC.
One of my dad’s favorites way back when.....sometimes we forget our parents were once young.....he’s now 72 and when I was growing up he raised us up very strict and conservative values . I always loved listening to rock n roll much to his annoyance but when he caught me listening to this song one day he said how he thought Marianne was one of the most beautiful girls of his day.....maybe he was jealous of Mick Jagger!
Hello 👋🏼 Sarah Baugh
Just beautiful. Marianne and the song. X
O sweet innocent times of youth so young and so fine,as tears go by and years pass by i reflect on my pass and wish I was 16 back in my time of the 1960s of innocence of great times of songs like as tears go by,👌✌️️😘🙌🌈💟,
Love her! She was discovered at a Party that started her career. Mick and Keith of the Stones wrote "As Tears Go By" for her... Good old Days.
No. It was a song by McCartney & Lennon.
@calihartley2010 You are right and I am wrong.I had it confused with Peter and Gordon-World Withoút Love.Apologies.
Sources indicate it was written by Mick J. and Keith R.for Marianne F.
Regards
Gosh, this reminds me of my big brother, he was in love with her. I was 10 and he was 16 !! Lovely to look back at this awesome video 😊
We were all in love with Marianne Faithfull, I'm on a nastalgic trip back to the 60s at 540am 12 Oct 2020 lol
Estou amando ouvir está linda canção, com esta voz macia , um acalento!❤️
Love her, such an angel.
