A lot of people have covered Lennon's great song; but this is the best cover AFAIK, and far better than her studio version.
From the sadly-departed NYC soundstage show "Sessions at West 54th", and first aired on late at night on American PBS stations (with naughty word and all) early in 2000. Video found via ed2k and probably off of her DVD "Dreaming my Dreams".

'Broken English' is one of the best albums ever made. What a voice you have, Marianne, and what feeling.....

I love this John Lennon song -- he really spoke his truth in this song without any Beatle fluff or fanfare. Just a brilliant poem like tune with beautiful lyrics and singing. And here Marianne Faithfull, who I always had thought off as an after thought to Mick Jaegger and never paid much attention to -- wow, what a powerful rendition, such great singing and interpretation. Lots of power and the band there, whoever they are, magnificent. Thanks for sharing. Really made my night.

@apollo5169 11 лет назад

I woke up to the Music Channel's acoustic version of Imagine this morning. I am sure that Marianne Faithfull as well as the rest of the conscious world is thinking about John Lennon today - John Lennon the last person on this earth who truly cared about Peace and the best hope we had at sending the message across all countries and people of the world. If you are too young to know of him - learn. If you remember him - reflect. Keep his memory alive.

Likely one of the few people whose views and experiences I would gladly listen to. A survivor who I suspect has a heart of gold, which she largely hides from most? Significant individuals take time to get to know, but usually they are worth the effort.

@cloudbuster8819 4 года назад

The first time I heard the song was actually by Marianne Faithfull. Since then I think her distinct voice much more expresses the bitterness of the song - and a working class woman - than other versions. If I think back to my time in the UK, and the Brits I know, it really is hitting the bulls eye.

@ianrandall482 3 года назад

Maryanne's version was the first version I knew of, then Tracy Chapman's, Imagine my shock when it was a song by John, made a lot more sence then.

@notrondayt9 10 лет назад

Remember this... money is needed and no doubt useful but a warm bed and a roof that doesn't leak and a little food in your stomach is basically all one needs. The freedom this type of living gives a person money can't buy? Understand?

Marianne is a highly intelligent woman. A private school girl. Such a beautiful woman when she was young...every boys wet dream I think she once said. She spoke so well because of her schooling & upbringing I guess. She has been through the school of hard knocks...what a woman.

I like this version...a lot. I did this with my band when I lived in NYC in the 1980s, and it was different than Lennon's version, and meant to be. The great thing about this music is that you can put yourself into it, and it is still Lennon's song, but with your individual mark.
