  OK......this is kind of off topic, considering the 'time of year', but I just picked up Marianne Faithfull's: "KISSIN TIME"

  WOW!

  I love it.

  I have loved Marianne Faithfull for many decades, but love this CD.

  I picked it up last night, and well.....it's great.

  Anyone remember the song by "Herman's Hermit's" "Something Good" ?

  It was written by Carole King btw. She is a lyric goddess. WOW.

  Anyone have any CD recommendations last minute before the strike of midnight on December 24?

  This Marianne Faithfull CD, is on repeat.....4X already.

  Thanks to England for a real killer chick.

  ***PS: To add, she's originally from Hampstead, England.

  There was some good music back then in spite of it being demonized as "hippie" danger.

  My suggestion - Blue Oyster Cult's "Curse of the Hidden Mirror" (actually anything by BOC).

  I like that Marianne Faithful song "Why'd Ya Do It" LOL!

  Just put on, Marianne Faithfull's "Kissin Time" and still.....I find it an incredible album.

  Contributing performers: Beck and Billy Corgan.

  Great songs .

  You've taken me back in time here, Ray! Yeah, I remember the song - real catchy, and I also remember them. They did a tour of Oz and came to my department of where I was working at the time to get us to help them with the necessary government permits to get their concert proceeds transferred to the UK. At the time it seemed a little strange that here in our office were these pop stars asking for their money!

  I also was a fan of Marianne's, she was so ........ well, gorgeous!

  Cheers, Ozzie

  According to the Hollies they wrote the song Carrie-Anne for Marianne Faithfull. They were too shy to call it Marianne though. I named my daughter after the song Carrie-Anne. What did you think of Marianne recording with Metallica and making the video? I really liked the song. Her voice was always beautiful and she and her voice have aged gracefully into something very spicy, comforting and nice. Still beautiful as well.
