Londoners take note! This Friday and Saturday Mx Justin Vivian Bond performs ‘Sex With Strangers’ an evening of song and poetry for, by, and about Marianne at the new Soho Theatre outpost in Walthamtow. Sharing the inspiration behind ‘Sex with Strangers’, V wrote “Marianne had impeccable taste in music and her brilliant songwriting reflected the hard-earned wisdom, magic, honesty, and sensuousness that bore witness to a lifetime of journeying toward self-knowledge.”

The show was first performed last year as part of the fabled NYC cabaret venue Joe’s Pub’s 25th anniversary season, Marianne heard about the event and wanted to lend her support. On the eve of the premiere she posted: “Sending luck and love to dear Justin Vivian Bond who is about to embark on something extraordinary- a musical evening dedicated to little old me! How wonderful. Fly high like the divine songbird you are; I’ll be sending blessings across the water. Lots of love Marianne. ###”

This is sure to be a great night, and a very fitting tribute to Marianne’s unique artistry.

ON THIS DATE (60 YEARS AGO)
July 2, 1965 - The Yardbirds: "Heart Full Of Soul" b/w "Steeled Blues" (Epic 5-9823) 45 single is released in the US.

"Heart Full of Soul" is a 1965 single by The Yardbirds. It was written by Graham Gouldman, who would later have a successful career as a member of 10cc. It charted in the United States at #9 and at #2 the UK. The song makes early use of the fuzz box by guitarist Jeff Beck during the guitar solo. Originally, a sitar was going to be used, in keeping with the "Eastern-exotic" atmosphere of the song, but the sound was too thin, and eventually, Beck produced a sitar-like effect on the electric guitar. An outtake exists, with the sitar part intact.

In one way or another, all three of The Yardbirds' key guitarists were involved with "Heart Full Of Soul". Although it is Beck that plays on the song, the US single was released with a picture sleeve erroneously showing the Eric Clapton line-up. A March 1968 appearance on the music show Upbeat featured the final line-up with Jimmy Page miming to the record.

Drummer Jim McCarty (August 2011): "[After 'For Your Love'] We were actually quite pleased that we finally had a big hit. We felt that now we could carry on and move onto the next level as a band. Definitely having a big hit opened us up to bigger venues and nationwide tours. Then Graham came to us with 'Heart Full Of Soul' and we felt that was the perfect follow up. It became a hit as well and we were on our way. We knew we were now in a position where we had to come up with hit singles on a regular basis. But we were all for it and were happy to carry on and start experimenting."
