60s-POP-STERNCHEN UND NEW-WAVE-IKONE: MARIANNE FAITHFULL WURDE 75
Teilen
Ihren 75. Geburtstag feierte am 29. Dezember die britische Sängerin Marianne Faithfull. Ihren Durchbruch hatte sie im Vereinigten Königreich bereits 1964 mit ihrem Single-Debüt “As Tears Goes By“ (#9, USA #22). 1965 konnte sie sich mit weiteren Songs recht erfolgreich platzieren, erlebte ihren zweiten Frühling aber erst 1979 mit der exzellenten LP BROKEN ENGLISH (UK 57, D #4, USA #82), die sie in gewisser Weise zu einer New-Wave-Ikone werden ließ. Seither erschienen in loser Folge Alben, die sämtlichst kommerziell sehr erfolgreich waren. Ihr bisher letztes Lebenszeichen gab sie mit SHE WALKS IN BEAUTY erst in diesem Jahr von sich.

Since then, albums have been released were commercially very successful. Her last sign of life so far was SHE WALKS IN BEAUTY, released only this year.
