THE LOST SINGLES

SHOULD-A BEEN HITS

THE BALLAD OF LUCY JORDAN

Marianne Faithfull

1979

Marianne Faithfull's distinct vocals added drama to her interpretation of "The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan". This remake was a world away from the original version recorded by Dr. Hook in 1974. Despite making The Top 20 in parts of Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, the single never cracked the US or UK Top 40.

This regular segment looks back on recordings that deserved to become popular singles but failed to attract attention and sales. Check the special Caffé Latté playlist on spotify to finally discover these releases.
