Unusual pairings; Marianne Faithful and David Bowie sing "I've got you Babe"

Usual pairings; Marianne Faithful and David Bowie sing " I've got you Babe"

From an angel faced Hapsburg heiress searching for a Home to a broken but pleasing voiced crooner Marianne Faithful poured her pierced soul into every song, " Sister Morphine", that she co-wrote,a cover of Cat Stevens " Sad Lisa" and a powerful " rendition of John Lennon's " Working class hero" round out Marianne Faithful mournful repertoire. Her excellent " Mack the Knife" in English is stunning to hear.

David Bowie is absurdly unique. "A character in search of an author."

It's an unusual pairing David Bowie and Marianne Faithful cover Sonny Bono's  " I've got you Babe" on you tube. David is purposely Kitsch, Marianne is typically dark.

Check it out Marianne Faithful in costume; David Bowie as his true self as a pair singing " I've got you Babe".

" Mack the Knife" by Bertold Brecht" and " Six characters in search of an author" absurd reference by Luigi Pirandello.
