Songs About People # 515 Frances Faye



And another from this same record. This is oddly reminiscent of Coldplay's Clocks in terms of its rolling piano motif but I'm not holding that against it as I have a very important and poignant memory related to that song. Anyway, the song Wireheads play make it Clocks meets John Cale's Velvet Underground, altogether a good thing. As for Frances Faye, she was a cabaret show tune singer and pianist from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Also second cousin to Danny Kaye and a bisexual pioneer.
