September 1, 200915 yr Marie Knight one of my favourite female singers. Love loads of her songs, but two of my faves are To Be Loved By You and Come on Baby. RIP Marie Suz x
September 1, 200915 yr RIP Marie you sang what in my humble opinion are some of the best words in a song ever "The taste of madness of your lips placed on mine, has turned to sadness in such a little time" Priceless in the delivery. Thanks
September 3, 200915 yr One of my fav tunes Thats no way to treat a girl. RIP Marie we will keep your songs alive. Rick
September 3, 200915 yr I feel sad but blessed to have bought and danced to her music.... her recordings were just sensational. Thank you Ms Knight. Think Mr Croasdell and his team will play something for you on Saturday night. Phil xx
September 3, 200915 yr I knew she had been singing for 60 odd years but didn't realize the depth of her output> Amazing voice best summed up from this newspaper quote. "Her delivery," a reviewer for the San Francisco Chronicle wrote, "is soulful enough to surely cause some non believers to want to get right with God." RIP
September 3, 200915 yr RIP Marie amazing she was still going into 84. That's No Way to Treat a Girl is classic song
September 6, 200915 yr RIP. I like her Cry Me A River 45 Try the flipside Kris..............."Comes The Night" jus awsome Sorry to hear of her passing ...thanks for keeping us informed Mr Rounce Cheers Paul
September 6, 200915 yr A sad loss indeed. Not just her Northern tunes but left behind a wealth of gospel tunes. A truely iconic figure on the soul scene. RIP Marie
