I love to hear Marianne Faithfull sing, she brings real life into each song that she sings, she is a storyteller, she is like one of the great master painters, she builds a clear picture for us all to see in our mind's eye. Marianne Faithfull is a real woman of this world. I bet if she began to talk and tell you some of her stories you would not leave even if you were due to catch the last fast train to Clarksville
I love cover versions done well. Which means it isn't a karaoke version badly or halfheartedly sang. Which this isn't. It's pure passion, heartfelt. So cool.
Van Morrison produced her version himself for the album "No Prima Donna" and Shana Morrison adds backing vocal, so it's definitely a "Van approved" version.
Yes a superb rendition but just listen carefully for the pianist :Phil Coulter, he really gives the song a real lift, a superb arrangement which even asa stand alone would be formidable.
It's a smokey voice. The strong backing sound of each final tone. Sexually, only from auditory, the experience is from the voice of a confident, experienced woman. Not as struggling, painful from the lungs as the Van Morrison. However, I believer her.
hmm.. i came here expecting fierce camp... many guffaws and easy cheap shots. my day in school, it seems. this is quite a stunning go at one of my favorite van tunes. not a task for chumps, and ms. faithful shows her chops strong and proud. you go, girl. go and go! "so cool...."
Marianne is a big woman and would make a pretty good transexual. I am joking, Anyway, her vocals are a little offputting but she does a nice job with one of Van Morrison's masterpieces.
Jesus. The longer you listen to it the better it gets. She really made this her own.
Joan Baez said this was one of her favorite songs ever. That she has listened to it over and over.
Feckin’ Brilliant! Xxxx
She sings this song like she's lived it. I'm sure she knows what it really means. Love her.
The song really suits her sultry singing voice. I am glad she found a home in Dublin.

Great Piano backing.
She sings this haunting song with insight and feeling .It is one of the best renditions beautiful.
Spellbindingly beautiful rendition of yet another Van masterpiece.
Spellbindingly - never a truer word !
Stupenda canzone, interpretata in modo magistrale. Wow!

Broken English by Marianne was well under rated, one of my favourite albums ever
I beg to differ. It was well received by the critics and sold very well.
Her version of "Working Class Hero" is so bitter her way, as opposed to Lennon, you have to play it so many times: utterly incredible.
She was excellent here. Close to Van spirit.
Beautiful child of the '60s and not a bad song either
una versione bellissima interpretata in modo magistrale da Marianne che esalta al massimo la versione del grande Van....
Van Morrison produced her version himself for the album "No Prima Donna" and Shana Morrison adds backing vocal, so it's definitely a "Van approved" version.
Who cares? Van Morrison is an ego-maniac!
Yes a superb rendition but just listen carefully for the pianist :Phil Coulter, he really gives the song a real lift, a superb arrangement which even asa stand alone would be formidable.
Her voice might be the strongest argument to take up smoking.
dig your sense of humour. simon t
Add a couple of bottles of Jack Daniels a day and you would be getting there! I have always loved this woman,

Every time i miss home i watch trouble bound and listen to her sing
omg this is the song! I heard this in a movie when I was a kid and could never find it! That was almost twenty years ago!
A great rendition.....and listen to that piano in !
Jeez, I need to come for air - that was breathtaking!
mysteriously takes me back.
!Excelente version. Voz y música sumamente originales !
Love her singing her country and western music
If anyone has earned the right to attempt a Van Morrison cover, especially of this song, it is she. She understands it.
she IS it.
Marianne is Madame George. 💗
What a talent what a real person
I have seen her about to sing and take it as an insult to morrison i just listened to it more that impressed thank you
She was beautiful. When I was kid everyone wanted to look like Marianne. She was so hip.
My boyfriend even wanted to look like Marianne.
Masterpiece.love her 😍😍
Sublime
She has more soul in a speck of dust under one of her toenails than most of today's superstars will ever have in their entire lives.
Lovely song for a real lady.
Marianne is the very best.....
She loves to love to love ❤️ love you Marianne. 💋
rapping the last verse was an inspired choice 3:07 ... couldnt be pulled off by too many except Marianne

"so cool...."
I wish I could get “No Prima Donna The Songs of Van Morrison” from ITunes. I love the whole album. It to bad they don’t sell it.
An excellent performance
Fantastic, posa la pell de gallina
How can a simple song in terms of notes be so good ?
It was meant for Marianne to sing.
I LOVE YOU!

Brava anche Marianne, ma la versione di Van è insuperabile e unica
When was the mae
Not Van but a great great cover.
For anyone who isn't aware, look at my icon. That man is named Van Morrison, and he is the original creator of this song.
Might as well have Joni Mitchell sing Tom Waits.
Marianne is a big woman and would make a pretty good transexual. I am joking, Anyway, her vocals are a little offputting but she does a nice job with one of Van Morrison's masterpieces.
Oh dear ,leave this to Van the man.
Another one that cant take a different version? You know Van actually wrote her version himself. Haha
I think you've given yourself away as the limited and sexist person you appear to be.
Appalling, leave it to van the genius.
