My Dad used to listen to Marianne Faithful. She used to have this gorgeous voice and I think she got all gravelly and croaky coz of drug use but don't quote me. She was just divine when she was younger. I mean was when she was older but ... Did you know she dated Mick Jagger? I remember this song, Dad had it on vinyl. Funny hey... You have taken me to a memory of him.

Listen to the Ballad of Lucy JOrDan. 1979 but such an 80s sound. Good loud or not at all.

Love Brian Ferry. He was so hot! Actually there's photos of my Dad when he looks like Brian Ferry.

Funny, because when I started looking for more of her songs, I did recognize the older ones. At first, I didn't believe it was the same person! Yeah, her voice was lovely then. I do like the raw voice later, but it's just different.

Mick Jagger...out of all people! Maybe that's where the drug use came about? It's not like the Stones didn't know how to party! My dad always used to say that Keith Richards was already dead but didn't know it yet. 🤣 And that was more than 20 years ago. Keith still running around.

Yes! I used to have such a crush on Brian Ferry as a young girl haha. He was hot. But he was also a little creepy. Maybe that's why I liked him LOL. I used to have a thing for guys that either looked a bit creepy, or like a junkie, or both. I was weird LOL.

I'm glad I could bring on another memory of your dad. That's the thing about music. It's universal.

Creepy skinny junkie guys... Haha same. I think it's our punk rock dark side hearts.

Defo certain the Stones were to blame!!! Google Marianne and Mick.. there's some great shots.

Not sure I edited this after your comment, as I added re ballad of Lucy JOrDan plus the pic of young hot dad 🤣🤣🤣

Apparently Mick always loved Marianne the best. Just went and reread about it... Defo stones influence, heroin, and years of laryngitis

Hahahaha. Well, he's your dad. You're allowed to say he was hot. But it might feel weird. I remember thinking about my dad's older picture that I had never seen before: Hmmm, not bad. And immediately thinking: EWE! LOL.
