“I got you to kiss goodnight...” *
Very sad to learn of the passing of Marianne Faithfull in London today at the age of 78.
It seems somehow appropriate to republish the words she posted following David’s death in 2016, as they could have been written for her...

Brian Aris captured this beautiful portrait of Marianne with David in 1991.
* The lyric here is from the Sonny and Cher song I Got You Babe, which Marianne performed dressed in a backless nun’s habit in an unforgettable duet with David during The 1980 Floor Show.
