Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) ...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... Edited September 1, 2009 by TONY ROUNCE

macca Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Sister Marie, gone to join Sister Rosetta in the sky. She was much more than just YLSW & TNWTTAG in my opinion. RIP.
Guest Bearsy Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 sad news indeed R.I.P Marie, you sang so well

Suzannek Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 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
Guest Mark Holmes Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 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
Guest Scarborosoul Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 One of my fav tunes Thats no way to treat a girl. RIP Marie we will keep your songs alive. Rick
Tiggerwoods Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 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
Tony Foster Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Hard to believe another great artist has passed away!!!
Julie Moore Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 great tunes from a great lady ..............god bless .rest in peace
Tabs Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 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
Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 RIP Marie amazing she was still going into 84. That's No Way to Treat a Girl is classic song
Guest soulpeeper Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 MARIE KNIGHT SOULFUL DEEP AND BEAUTIFUL

Boogaloo Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 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
