...I've no time or date of death info as yet, but I got word this morning from a pal in the USA that Marie Knight passed away yesterday.

Amazingly, at the age of 84 she was still doing live shows, right up until a short time before her passing.

God bless, Sister Marie...

sad loss ..... R.I.P

:( What sad news indeed

another Iconic figure from the scene slips away, You Lie So Well & Thats No Way To Treat a Girl will always be heard as long as this scene still lives and breaths as they are both truly wonderful tracks, the break and then that

"Errrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmm" "I said you lie so well" a musical masterpiece

:lol: god bless Marie and farewell and a big Thank You :( x Moggy

Sister Marie, gone to join Sister Rosetta in the sky.

She was much more than just YLSW & TNWTTAG in my opinion. RIP.

sad news indeed

R.I.P Marie, you sang so well :good:

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 :sad:

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

One of my fav tunes Thats no way to treat a girl. RIP Marie we will keep your songs alive.

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.

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

RIP Marie amazing she was still going into 84. That's No Way to Treat a Girl is classic song

MARIE KNIGHT SOULFUL DEEP AND BEAUTIFUL

RIP. I like her Cry Me A River 45
