Beautiful names celebrated in song.
Elvis Presley, Marie's the Name of His Latest Flame
George Harrison and friends, Absolutely Sweet Marie. By the way, this self-certified Dylanologist can attest that in the first line it is 'railroad GAUGE,' not 'railroad gate.' 'Gauge' is a measure of the width of the track; that's what our boy can't jump. This one goes out to Marie Benson, from the summer of '65. Where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
Bachelors, Marie
R. B. Greaves, Take a Letter, Maria
Placido Domingo, Ave Maria (Schubert)
Jimi Hendrix, The Wind Cries 'Mary'
Association, Along Comes Mary. Back in '66 I didn't appreciate how good the lyrics are.
And finally Mary takes Marty Robbins back after his tryst with the Devil Woman.
