A very positive interview in The Guardian today

I did not realise she was living so near me - thought she was still in Paris

Thanks to this thread I was pushed to listen to explore some Marianne music.
First time I did (save her song on Circus) and what a surprise!
Listening to No Exit right now. Very interesting!
For the Englishmen here, what kind of accent does she have?

She's lucky to have been so attractive in the 60s and bagged a Stone. She wouldn't have a career in music if she looked like Mama Cass back then. No one on here would give her awful records a second glance without the Jagger connection.

Your prejudiced view does not apply to everyone.
I became aware of the song " Broken English" by hearing it on the radio. It made me glad to be aware by whom. Then I bought the album BROKEN ENGLISH in much the same way that I in its time bought a double compilation with Buddy Saint Marie, not because of Marianne's Stones related past. I was delighted by BROKEN ENGLISH, most of all by the song " Ballad of Lucy Jordan". One after another I then bought her three following albums. I also attended one concert with her.
All in all, I am pleased by the fact that Marianne Faithfull has had a career in her own right.

Unfortunately, that would've been the view in 1964. The pop market of the day surely demanded an attractive, well-groomed female: Marianne had that in her favour. It's what sells and makes money. The Patti Smith's of the world wouldn't have got a look in, sadly. Be glad pop music evolved.

It's disappointing to read such a slew of sexist comments on here, some of them completely off the mark IMHO

Reread what I answered to. That is how all posters here with certainty would have reacted to her recorded work later on. I have more or less shown that I would not.
Are you sure that no musicians and producers would have assisted Marianne at the time of BROKEN ENGLISH, without she having had her past? For that seems to be your remaining argument.
