I used to know Luther Vandross in Los Angeles. He drove a white Rolls Royce at that time. He and a mutual friend used to go to Over Eater's Anonymous together. Afterward, he would drop her off at my apartment, and my friend would have him beap the horn because she wanted everyone in the apartment building to know that Luther Vandross was dropping her off! ☮️✌️☮️
I got to tell you what, watching your videos tonight has been marvellous, you speak a lot of sense and I’m grateful for you. You are of my parents generation they were early 80s cool kids, I’m just dismayed at my current gen and beyond getting sucked in to every distraction and agenda they can gobble up. I’m going through a lot at the moment with my mums health and I heard you say you are too so to be honest it’s been cathartic to listen to you on many fronts - I send you love and God bless you aswell ❤ and no need to adjust your hair for us - you look marvellous as ever, speaking so much common sense and I really do your mum well on her health journey x
Before I left the Uk for the US in July 1989, I was the HR Director at Wembley Complex. During the time I was there Luther played Wembley a few times, and the last time he played there while I was there was April 89. I had an all access pass and was standing at the back of the Arena watching the stage being completed. As I was standing there, Luther came through the curtains of the section to see the stage also - I was star struck because I was a huge fan, but he and I started chatting. He was VERY chatty and I felt he was really quite interested in me, but I was far too shy to reciprocate, even though I was dying to. Then two years after I moved to New York I went to a restaurant called Company on the East Side Midtown Manhattan and Luther was there with three other people. Normally, I would not approach a star in that type of situation, but I did and told Luther that he and I had met at Wembley. He appeared completely disinterested in engaging me further and then it occurred to me that the guy sat opposite him looked just like me, it was uncanny! I thought Luther must have a type. Luther, Freddie and Divine - three of the stars that had me crying on learning that they had died. Thankfully, I was able to meet all three during my time in London and New York.
Oh!!! This isn’t the end of the story trust me!! And the second part is absolutely disgusting!! He showed a completely different side to me, which absolutely horrified me and I lost so much respect for him. I might try and do that part tonight actually!! I’m so glad I wasn’t attracted to him in the slightest, but because of that I saw a whole other side of him, which I could really have done without engaging with!! Extremely unpleasant. Sigh 😏
Love hearing these stories! Speaking of Luther Vandross, I read in Pete Burns autobiography 'Freak Unique' that he got the inspiration for his song 'You Spin Me Round Like A Record' from the chorus of a Luther Vandross song called 'I Wanted Your Love' - which you can totally hear the similarities when you listen to that song
Id love to hear more story's about phillip sallon old friend of mine love to hate I have been in your company and george a few times in my life . But you have always have been my favourite you have the best personality
I absolutely love your personality,It puts a smile on my face,& youre a sweetheart with a heart of gold.I remember buying your amazing album Despite Straight Lines,& I loved it. Your talent is spectacular ,& youre a caring young man .
Absolutely amazing stories!!! You lived it! No matter what goes on in your life, nobody can take your achievements away! You deserve all good things! I pray you have beautiful days ahead!
Love your makeup today. Please don’t forget to finish your Luther story. I really enjoyed it. You’ve already told us the status quo story in another video. That was hilarious. 🤣
Marilyn, did you ever meet Elizabeth Taylor? If so I would love to here the story. My partner and I attended her jewellery auction at Christies in New York and were fortunate enough to buy a piece. Love the anecdotes and really hope you get the opportunity to put pen to paper and release your book.
Guessing you’ve met Debbie Harry? Remember you talking about G filling his pockets from the buffet at the closing of the Eat To The Beat Tour? Would love to hear more!
The first big party I let him come into, despite being furious he had showed up, after I made it clear that I was a guest MYSELF!! It’s only because all the bouncers knew me that he was allowed in, and they made me promise that I would be responsible for him, but as soon as he saw the buffet? He was GONE!! SO embarrassing!!! Yes, I hung out with Debbie a couple of times. She’s a sweetheart. Thank GOD she wasn’t a witness to the whole buffet drama!! I would have left, and left him to it!! A HUGE trench coat with massive pockets, filled with WHOLE CHICKENS, and massive slabs of salmon, and his blue face smeared all over everything!! You couldn’t make this shit up!! I only ever took him to one other party in New York, after he begged and begged and made my life a misery…and yup!!!! He TOTALLY fukked THAT one up too (and this one was a WAAAAAY more glitzy, ‘important people’ gathering, who I had asked specifically if I could extend an invitation to him as he was driving me insane!! I lived to regret THAT one too!!! Actually, I’m going to tell that little story in the new video I’m doing in a little while tonight!! Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night!!! 🫣
Great to hear from you Maz, I loved the Band Aid single, it was Paul Young who sang the opening line. The Band Aid concert was superb, it was such a special day. Sending love to you as always. XXX
Marilyn, would be great to see you get back out there, even on TV Blankety Blank, some of the producers have no idea of talent, you could do it just as good as Paul O gready God rest his soul, I got asked to be a vocalist in a small band, had too much work on respraying cars at the time, would love to see you get back out there, would still love to hear about your time in Japan, white flag with the red dot
Great stories! YT no-nos are using words like r*pe, c*caine, any drugs really, s*xual *ssault, g*ns, stuff like that but can also be weirdly arbitrary about mentions of various random things. Sadly this affects a great many content creators adversely.
I was glued to the screen watching this video. I love your stories, they are so entertaining. It is a pity you were too shy to sing one of the leads in Do They Know It's Christmas? You would of been perfect for it and I can understand why it is something you regret. What a shame! I can see why you got along with everyone because you have a fun aura about you and easy to like. I have met Jody Watley when I was on a trip to the UK and my brother and I were lucky to see her perform and do meet and greet and she was so lovely to meet. She is truly a kind and beautiful soul and she took the time to chat with us after the show because we missed out on our meet and greet before the show so she made sure we meet her and take photos. We have also met Bananarama in the UK and here in Australia many times and they're so gorgeous and so much fun and like Jody they take the time to chat and take photos. So I can see why you got along with them all because you are on the same level of beautiful souls. I laughed so much at your story about Luther Vandross and your eyes rolling and those facial expressions regarding warning Luther about George haha. I am sure Luther could see as soon as George started talking you were right haha. As for your George Michael story, many of us can see without ever meeting him that he was shy and he kept to himself or he was surrounded by small groups of friends. I have heard of how kind he was and he wanted to help people, which has always warmed my heart. It was a devastating day when we found out he passed away 😥. You truly have had many amazing moments and I am so happy for you. I am looking forward to more stories you have experienced with musicians because they make me smile. A huge thumbs up for this video 👍❤🌟
@@TheMisterMarilyn I sometimes get carried away and I leave you very long messages 🤪. Thank you for finding the time to read them. You are welcome regarding me responding to your videos. I look forward to your videos because they bring some joy to my life in this very disappointing present and most likely future. You are truly a breath of fresh air ♥️💖 🌟
Oh, by the way. Sometimes your videos pop up but a sometimes I have to actually check your channel for your new videos. And I can't see that you have any section saying you have a "members' add on section. So I don't think that is done properly. As you say, you may need someone to help you with that who is quite technical. I'd gladly pay a fee to watch you videos. They literally are my MAJOR entertainment and the ONLY reality TV that is of any worth! ... Try and get that sorted ASAP. And please write your book, we NEED it!!!! I'd love to hear as many stories about you fellow pop stars encounters, your clubbing days, studio recording experiences and all the FAB stuff! ... PLUS, of course talking about all the woke crap in today's world that you are exposing which is a MUST!
Bonjour 😊 , I enjoyed this conversation. I was excited to hear your story meeting these people and your honesty and i can imagine what it was like very good storyteller Maralyn you can write great stories if you would like to share i think it would help you emotionally and clear your feelings into perspective and see yourself in a new light and growth really love your heart ❤️ and always wishing the highest outcome for you and you always ask how are what a great spirit to have .Take care as always onwards and upwards beautiful butterfly 🦋 ❤️ 💕 ❤❤❤
Great tales, love the fact that you laugh it all the way through retelling. I miss George Michael, didn’t know him of course but, he was such a kind person and his Listen without Prejudice album was such a poignant album for me. His marvellous voice, I still play his music and watch his videos. Were you a big fan of his solo work? You should have done a song together perhaps, it would have made an interesting track? I loved him with Aretha Franklin. Knew you were waiting. I love your stories, they keep coming. Did Luther take you to another smart restaurant later on, without Gina? I truly hope so. ❤ keep smiling 😊
What a great story of Luther Vandross! I am so glad he telepathically understood you about George!!!!! Wishing you good health and inner peace! 🙏 I watched an interview with Pete Burns explaining how he heard the song I want your love by Luther Vandross, and that’s how he came up with the song you spin me around, like a record! By the way do you have any good stories on Andy Bell, Divine, Sylvester?
Like others have said, def consider a book but also… don’t stop making memories Marilyn coz you ain’t dead yet! Fabulous things can still happen, you just need to relight the flame 🔥🧙
Oh maz FAB stories this is why we need your book! Truths and reality from someone who wuz there - you! Much love and keep doing these vids from a fan of many decades now ❤❤❤
Thanks dear Marilyn for answering my questions about Band Aid and George Michael . Where did you all that Sunday go to eat? Because I remember you stayed all day at the studio. Love you and thanks again❤❤❤
No. You can become a member of the channel and get to see videos etc that other people can’t see. Check the last video out that says members only I think it might tell you how to become a member there🌟
Your recollection and regret on not recording the opening line in "Do They Know Its Christmas?" and it being a major regret reminds me of when Belinda Carlisle heard "Falling Into You" by Celine Dion sung at a gas station(while she was pumping gas) which she intially recorded as a demo but failed to record properly. That was a major regret of her career (or so she has stated). You were still a part of history with that record (before all the copycat "charity" records that came after). Band Aid was the first! Here in America it was a big record and I still love hearing it at Christmas time. I always wondered why Bob Geldof chose 4 women and the rest men? Maybe only 4 actually turned up and more agreed?
Hi Marilyn, hope you’re doing well. As for the conversation I hate games as well and yes there are a lot of horribly difficult things going on all over the world. I know on TikTok you have to watch what you say and use certain words. I don’t know about TH-cam. I’m definitely not good with technology either. Band Aid was great. How was it working with so many great artists? I was a young boy of 12/13 at the time but I was intrigued by the whole thing especially watching it. You do have a wonderful voice and U2 was what 2/3 yrs old at the time most of the artists were very new to the industry. I had a huge crush on George Michael I loved that first record Young Guns. What a time for music and looks. I think I remember you speaking on Band aid once or twice before but not in detail. I probably would have met you and Gina if I was older at the time but I did meet Gina at Limelight in the early 90’s quite a few times. Speaking of Luther Vandross my mother loved him. Rest her soul. Anyway have to run. I’m happy you’ve been making videos the past couple of days. I love hearing your stories. Sending love,hugs,kisses and good energy your way ✌🏻🫶🏻😘
Hope your well Marilyn and your dear mum. I'm the one that offered you the skin care and make up. I still have it for you. I'm not on any social media as like you I'm not technically inclined! I'm in Australia 🇦🇺. So please let me know how I can get it to you. I also have some crystals and rosary beads for you. Take care.xxx❤❤❤
I'm so happy I came across your channel!!🥰🥰 I love hearing your stories & you are such a doll!!! Blessings to you & hope your channel keeps on going. Keep being a kind & loving person💕💕💐💐😊😊
Hi Mazza what a yummy video. This book of yours needs to see the light of day ASAP or it's a crime. You're not demonetised BTW, not at my end, and not in this video, a huge advert came on about 17 minutes through
That’s what it possibly looked like, but the real reason he does things like that is insecurity. It’s unfortunate because he has a tendency to overcompensate and thus we had situations such as the one with Luther constantly occurring. And I just don’t understand why, no matter how much time, energy and effort I put into reassuring him it just never seemed to have any effect or make any difference whatsoever!! I think it had something to do with my looks/ body and all that, which I constantly told him were the most unimportant and shallow things going…but it didn’t matter. I also know that he thought of me as a threat (he told me one night when he was high for the Gods) and that I would take everything he had/ his position, which I also constantly tried to reassure him was just ludicrous. The only trouble with that part, is that is why he continually tried to sabotage and ruin anything I attempted. Sorry, I didn’t mean to go into so much detail lol!! It’ll all be in the book, if I ever get to finishing it!! 🌟
Never apologise! I totally see things for what they are and see through the situation.. I have never been keen alway fell towards Dead Or Alive as I thought they were more authentic.. you deserved better ❤
You asked if there is anything we want to hear about. I have always wanted to know about the dinner yourself and Kim Wilde had which was shown as a feature over pages in Smash Hits. I'd love to know more about that FAB photo session of you both having dinner xx
Thanks for your video, one of your most interesting yet. You are a natural born raconteur. A window into pop culture history. Fascinating story about Luther and George. As a witness to pop history, do you recall what happened with Culture Club’s third album? Did you hear the War Song in advance and advise BG not to release it? What was going on behind the scenes? I’ve noticed BG didn’t write about that period in his book and seems reluctant to talk about it
Yes, I told him that song was crap in my opinion…a serious subject given that kind of treatment? Nobody was going to give that any serious attention…ludicrous.
@@TheMisterMarilyn Thank you for your reply, Marilyn. I wish he had listened to you. When that song came out millions of fans deserted him. It really hurt his credibility and killed the chances of the third album right out of the gate even though there were a couple of potential hits on there. It must have been fascinating for you to have a ringside seat to the fall of the Culture Club empire (at the time he was the biggest star in the world after Michael Jackson). And you were his best friend. I am guessing they were overconfident, complacent and overworked, and because George was so famous his wishes overrode the band’s advice, even if they didn’t want to release that song. I think the record company should have done some market testing too before choosing the singles
So interesting to hear about your band aid stories. I love hearing about your days in 80s New York, and be good to hear about any favourite gigs/shows you attended that made an impression on you.
Another great vid. Yes, you have spoken of Band Aid before including the Quo being a little naughty lol, I am sure anyone here wouldn’t mind hearing it again. Luther sounds lovely, you should have ordered Gina something extra chewy 😸
Hi Marilyn another great video hope and your family are keeping well you defo should bring your book out you have some great stories to tell it's all social history isn't ps I seen a great photo of late of yourself and Jermaine Stewart be great to know how you met him etc he seemed such a nice genuine person and so talented and underrated t care 😇🎸
It’s always a joy to hear you talk about the past! Was wondering, Marilyn did you go to Steve Strange’s birthday party in a warehouse in Wapping? It would’ve been 1980 and Gina and Philip were there. It was a very dodgy area back then and I got bashed on the head by some thugs on the way out! Lol 😀
Bloody ell I’m lucky if I get the Avon lady knocking on my door! Lovely to see you again! I’m not gonna refer to you personally as a bus, but I’m sure you know what I mean. Just hope these chatters keep running to this kinda schedule. 😘
YOU have spoke about Band Aid but this was new information. Amazing stories about Pops finest Moment. Oh Maryiln you should have sung that line. PAUL Young is brutal these days.
@@TheMisterMarilynOh wow Marylin. Marylin... you sang the Middle part With Glen Gregory... Martin Fry was absent... could you be mistaking him for Martin Ware? Anyway but Trevor Horn was there of course and he wanted to do a more dynamic chorus but time ran out? Martin Fry was missed really.
Well, let’s put it this way…she was never the sharpest tool in the box, just between you and me!! In fact, she was living at my friend’s house, and I had a conversation with her one day and explained how ‘beneficial’ it could possibly be should she manage to get with Paul…she didn’t ‘get’ what I was trying to tell her, and it took quite a while to get her to understand, but finally the coin dropped…and voila!! Within six months she was married to him!! I had my own little thing going on with him, and if I were so ‘desperate’ to keep him all to myself, I certainly wouldn’t have given her ‘lessons’ on the art of seduction!! I don’t know where you heard that rubbish, but it can’t have come from her, because she knows as well as I do, EXACTLY what the situation was, and I can’t imagine her telling ridiculous lies like that, especially when she knows I don’t play with that kind of nonsense!! I didn’t need to ‘try and get Paul’, that part was already a done deal. Now I’m going before I say something that might potentially get myself into trouble looolol!! She learned how to ‘get’ Paul from me…and I can’t imagine her saying anything to the contrary!! She might evade the question, but she would have to have WAY more front than I believe she possesses to fuk with me like that…so what you heard can only have been uninformed gossip, of which I do not partake!! 🌟
And Bono should know! Apart from his own talent as a singer, his Dad was an accomplished tenor. Love your stories Marilyn, they are real treats to listen to. And you are so honest and funny. Love your take on different people and life in general 💖
Thank you Mazza what a story! I needed this bit of escapisum today! Cant wait for the next installment. I do wonder if many of these top music performers are away of the 'club' and pacts they have to make in order to stay at the top. I wonder if they have regrets? You can see how dark the symbolism is in certain tours and music video's. 🙏💗
FIRSTLY :-:-:- Thank You soooooo much for this video, it could have gone on for an hour and I would have been glued!. You have discussed Band Aid before as I remember loving one of those videos where you discussed Status Quo e.t.c... But I know you didn't talk about how Bob Geldof wanted you to do one of the early leads on Do They Know It's Christmas. I can hear and see the regret you have about not having the confidence which is something many don't have when young. What a pity, I have ALWAYS loved your voice as it was like nobody else's and very unique to what you were doing and you had your own style of singing and tone. The parts you sang were with Glenn Gregory of Heaven 17 as Martin Fry wasn't on the record at all. Yourself and Glenn sang "Here's To You" ... "Here's to them" ... with Paul Young in between you guys. Paul Young was also the first lead voice on the record. But you know what, you still got a major part in the record and have your own part with Glenn in the video which i have always loved as both of you had your eyes closed giving it your all. As far as Bananarama and Jody Watley, I am not surprised you got along with them well as Bananarama are ALWAYS so lovely! ... I have met them many times and they SO appreciate their fans and are very easy to get along with and Jody Watley is an absolute sweetheart. She let my sister and I and some friend in her dressing room to meet her in London in 2019 and was such a gorgeous ray of light. OH! ... I so LOVED the story of Bono telling you how great your voice is xoxo That is so brilliant! Your story about the hotel in New York you used to stay at a lot and Helen Terry bringing Luther Vandross to your room really had me absolutely spellbound!!!! ... WOW ... Helen being shady and calling George up and typical of George to want the limelight and come down to your room with no regard to what was going on with you two (haha) I love that Luther persisted that you go to dinner with them and when you mentioned what Luther said to George "You better be careful talking about how much money you have as one day you will meet someone who has more" ... Obviously Luther meant he had more money (HAHAHA) ... Love how classy he put that without actually saying it directly to George? I'd looove to hear more about your Luther stories as I have ALWAYS loooooooved his voice, my goodness how he soothes the musical pallet! - My favourite track from Luther was always "I Wanted Your Love" - what a KILLER track and "Never Too Much" and like you - His vocals on Bowie's "Young Americans' remains so phenomenal ! Also ... thank you for the story about dear George Michael xoxo He really was such a shy introverted man and if you haven't watched the Wham? ... Nextflix documentary which Andrew put together last year then PLEASE watch it!!!¡ ... Andrew talks a lot about the lack of confidence George had but what a voice and charisma he really did have ESPECIALLY in the early days of Wham! on the Fantastic album. Those TOTP performances you speak of are their best with so much energy, spark and street sense! ... Loved you singing Bad Boys as well and talking about Dee C Lee! You know what, whether many of us have money or not .. In your case, your life in the late 70s and throughout the 80s is something money can NOT buy! ... You really had some of the best times and so many amazing experiences. What experienced do people have now, social media (yawn)
I seen Bob Geldof in Victoria Train Station Sunday 26th September 1993 came from Manchester for Madonna’s Girlie Show at Wembley. Did you go to The Girlie Show?
Marilyn hi, did you ever meet the Fabulous Wealthy Tarts, they sang with Paul Young ,I used to think they were so cool. Especially the blonde called Maz as well. Thank you. Also yes you were/are a great singer, just wanted more from you.
Great video maz, your hair has grown, i met kate moss once, she has the most beautiful aura. You do have a lovely singing voice, interesting stories, you are hilarious talking about gina, much love x ❤

Love your makeup today. Please don’t forget to finish your Luther story. I really enjoyed it. You’ve already told us the status quo story in another video. That was hilarious. 🤣
Marilyn, did you ever meet Elizabeth Taylor? If so I would love to here the story. My partner and I attended her jewellery auction at Christies in New York and were fortunate enough to buy a piece. Love the anecdotes and really hope you get the opportunity to put pen to paper and release your book.
Awwww i wish you did sing the first lines of Do they know its Christmas 😢😢
Guessing you’ve met Debbie Harry? Remember you talking about G filling his pockets from the buffet at the closing of the Eat To The Beat Tour? Would love to hear more!
The first big party I let him come into, despite being furious he had showed up, after I made it clear that I was a guest MYSELF!! It’s only because all the bouncers knew me that he was allowed in, and they made me promise that I would be responsible for him, but as soon as he saw the buffet? He was GONE!! SO embarrassing!!!
Yes, I hung out with Debbie a couple of times. She’s a sweetheart. Thank GOD she wasn’t a witness to the whole buffet drama!! I would have left, and left him to it!! A HUGE trench coat with massive pockets, filled with WHOLE CHICKENS, and massive slabs of salmon, and his blue face smeared all over everything!! You couldn’t make this shit up!!
I only ever took him to one other party in New York, after he begged and begged and made my life a misery…and yup!!!! He TOTALLY fukked THAT one up too (and this one was a WAAAAAY more glitzy, ‘important people’ gathering, who I had asked specifically if I could extend an invitation to him as he was driving me insane!! I lived to regret THAT one too!!!
Actually, I’m going to tell that little story in the new video I’m doing in a little while tonight!! Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night!!! 🫣
LOL I bloody love THIS 😂😂😂😂
You really need to do a book and do an audio book with it!! It’s the delivery Maz you have such a way with words clever witty and very very funny!!
Hi marilyn. Still enjoying your stories. Hope you and your mum are well. ❤
Hello beautiful human being, I missed you! happy to see you look fine!🥰🥰🥰
She tried for the cakes and didnt get em ...Right 🤣😭🤣😭
Great to hear from you Maz, I loved the Band Aid single, it was Paul Young who sang the opening line. The Band Aid concert was superb, it was such a special day. Sending love to you as always. XXX
😂 the bath robe Chronicles funny story ❤
That was a fun story 😊
Thank you for sharing, Marilyn. ❤️
Marilyn, would be great to see you get back out there, even on TV Blankety Blank, some of the producers have no idea of talent, you could do it just as good as Paul O gready God rest his soul, I got asked to be a vocalist in a small band, had too much work on respraying cars at the time, would love to see you get back out there, would still love to hear about your time in Japan, white flag with the red dot

She is truly a kind and beautiful soul and she took the time to chat with us after the show because we missed out on our meet and greet before the show so she made sure we meet her and take photos. We have also met Bananarama in the UK and here in Australia many times and they're so gorgeous and so much fun and like Jody they take the time to chat and take photos. So I can see why you got along with them all because you are on the same level of beautiful souls. I laughed so much at your story about Luther Vandross and your eyes rolling and those facial expressions regarding warning Luther about George haha. I am sure Luther could see as soon as George started talking you were right haha. As for your George Michael story, many of us can see without ever meeting him that he was shy and he kept to himself or he was surrounded by small groups of friends. I have heard of how kind he was and he wanted to help people, which has always warmed my heart. It was a devastating day when we found out he passed away 😥. You truly have had many amazing moments and I am so happy for you. I am looking forward to more stories you have experienced with musicians because they make me smile. A huge thumbs up for this video 👍❤🌟
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your taking time to write a message!! Really lovely 🥰🌟🧡
@@TheMisterMarilyn I sometimes get carried away and I leave you very long messages 🤪. Thank you for finding the time to read them. You are welcome regarding me responding to your videos. I look forward to your videos because they bring some joy to my life in this very disappointing present and most likely future. You are truly a breath of fresh air ♥️💖 🌟
Love listening to your life stories I think your absolutely lovely how’s your mum doing now hope she’s comfortable xx Faye xx
Oh, by the way. Sometimes your videos pop up but a sometimes I have to actually check your channel for your new videos. And I can't see that you have any section saying you have a "members' add on section. So I don't think that is done properly. As you say, you may need someone to help you with that who is quite technical. I'd gladly pay a fee to watch you videos. They literally are my MAJOR entertainment and the ONLY reality TV that is of any worth! ... Try and get that sorted ASAP.
And please write your book, we NEED it!!!!
I'd love to hear as many stories about you fellow pop stars encounters, your clubbing days, studio recording experiences and all the FAB stuff! ... PLUS, of course talking about all the woke crap in today's world that you are exposing which is a MUST!
Bonjour 😊 , I enjoyed this conversation. I was excited to hear your story meeting these people and your honesty and i can imagine what it was like very good storyteller Maralyn you can write great stories if you would like to share i think it would help you emotionally and clear your feelings into perspective and see yourself in a new light and growth really love your heart ❤️ and always wishing the highest outcome for you and you always ask how are what a great spirit to have .Take care as always onwards and upwards beautiful butterfly 🦋 ❤️ 💕 ❤❤❤
Girl so funny doesn’t matter if your repeating it’s still worth watching keep up your good work entertaining us all love ya xxxx
❤❤❤❤
Keep em coming maz love your story's you need a book deal narrator has got to be you cause you tell it like where there love ya ❤❤❤❤❤
I’m definitely going to get it finished!! 🌟
I love your videos and stories, Been a big fan of yours for many many years since I was a teenager in the 1980's.
Maz will you be going to any of the Culture Club tour dates in UK with Tony Hadley and Heaven 17 supporting?
If I hear culture club one more time it might finish me off. So the answer is no lol. I’d rather read a good book!! 🌟
Great tales, love the fact that you laugh it all the way through retelling. I miss George Michael, didn’t know him of course but, he was such a kind person and his Listen without Prejudice album was such a poignant album for me. His marvellous voice, I still play his music and watch his videos. Were you a big fan of his solo work? You should have done a song together perhaps, it would have made an interesting track? I loved him with Aretha Franklin. Knew you were waiting. I love your stories, they keep coming. Did Luther take you to another smart restaurant later on, without Gina? I truly hope so. ❤ keep smiling 😊
I think George Michael was a genius lyricist and composer of melodies!! And I liked him very much (and I think he had a soft spot for me too) 🌟
What a great story of Luther Vandross! I am so glad he telepathically understood you about George!!!!! Wishing you good health and inner peace! 🙏 I watched an interview with Pete Burns explaining how he heard the song I want your love by Luther Vandross, and that’s how he came up with the song you spin me around, like a record! By the way do you have any good stories on Andy Bell, Divine, Sylvester?
Yes u do, have many stories about all of those guys!! Coming up 🌟
Like others have said, def consider a book but also… don’t stop making memories Marilyn coz you ain’t dead yet! Fabulous things can still happen, you just need to relight the flame 🔥🧙
I think my time is over babe. I’m just waiting to go really (how cheery lol) 🌟
@@TheMisterMarilyn Well, not to be cheesy but you know how the song goes ‘It ain’t over till it’s over’ ❤️
Oh maz FAB stories this is why we need your book! Truths and reality from someone who wuz there - you! Much love and keep doing these vids from a fan of many decades now ❤❤❤
Thanks dear Marilyn for answering my questions about Band Aid and George Michael . Where did you all that Sunday go to eat? Because I remember you stayed all day at the studio. Love you and thanks again❤❤❤
Hi Marilyn! When you say “members “ do you mean “subscribers”??? Hugs hugs hugs to you! 🤗🤗🤗💕🇺🇸
No. You can become a member of the channel and get to see videos etc that other people can’t see. Check the last video out that says members only I think it might tell you how to become a member there🌟
I was going to ask the same question because I had no idea that I can become a member .
Hi Marilyn.Nice video.I'm sorry you're ill.I hope you'll be better soon.❤
Oh thank you so much!! That means a lot to me!! You’re extremely kind 🌟
@@TheMisterMarilyn You're very welcome sweetie.⭐
Your makeup looks fab💗
Thank you!!☺️
Your recollection and regret on not recording the opening line in "Do They Know Its Christmas?" and it being a major regret reminds me of when Belinda Carlisle heard "Falling Into You" by Celine Dion sung at a gas station(while she was pumping gas) which she intially recorded as a demo but failed to record properly. That was a major regret of her career (or so she has stated). You were still a part of history with that record (before all the copycat "charity" records that came after). Band Aid was the first! Here in America it was a big record and I still love hearing it at Christmas time. I always wondered why Bob Geldof chose 4 women and the rest men? Maybe only 4 actually turned up and more agreed?
What a fantastic story, you are so fabulous❤
Hi Marilyn, hope you’re doing well. As for the conversation I hate games as well and yes there are a lot of horribly difficult things going on all over the world. I know on TikTok you have to watch what you say and use certain words. I don’t know about TH-cam. I’m definitely not good with technology either. Band Aid was great. How was it working with so many great artists? I was a young boy of 12/13 at the time but I was intrigued by the whole thing especially watching it. You do have a wonderful voice and U2 was what 2/3 yrs old at the time most of the artists were very new to the industry. I had a huge crush on George Michael I loved that first record Young Guns. What a time for music and looks. I think I remember you speaking on Band aid once or twice before but not in detail. I probably would have met you and Gina if I was older at the time but I did meet Gina at Limelight in the early 90’s quite a few times. Speaking of Luther Vandross my mother loved him. Rest her soul. Anyway have to run. I’m happy you’ve been making videos the past couple of days. I love hearing your stories. Sending love,hugs,kisses and good energy your way ✌🏻🫶🏻😘
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch!! 🌟
I loved this❤, Marilyn what was Quinten Crisp like? ❤
I’ll do that epic luncheon at The Factory with Andy next!! 🌟
Young Guns and Calling came out in the same year...so it made sense that you met GM at Top of The Pops😅
❤
Hope your well Marilyn and your dear mum. I'm the one that offered you the skin care and make up. I still have it for you. I'm not on any social media as like you I'm not technically inclined! I'm in Australia 🇦🇺. So please let me know how I can get it to you. I also have some crystals and rosary beads for you. Take care.xxx❤❤❤
I'm so happy I came across your channel!!🥰🥰 I love hearing your stories & you are such a doll!!! Blessings to you & hope your channel keeps on going. Keep being a kind & loving person💕💕💐💐😊😊
Hi Mazza what a yummy video. This book of yours needs to see the light of day ASAP or it's a crime. You're not demonetised BTW, not at my end, and not in this video, a huge advert came on about 17 minutes through
No, it was my last public video that was restricted (yellow sign) ☹️
I wish you success with the project if it materialises and you can/want to do it . Have a good weekend Gorg , a hug x
😂😂 I love the relationship you have with G really made me laugh this did!! 😂😂
Yes, it was almost as funny as finding out you have herpes!! 🙄
😂😂😂
I LOVED THIS!!! No one likes a show off 😂😂😂
That’s what it possibly looked like, but the real reason he does things like that is insecurity. It’s unfortunate because he has a tendency to overcompensate and thus we had situations such as the one with Luther constantly occurring. And I just don’t understand why, no matter how much time, energy and effort I put into reassuring him it just never seemed to have any effect or make any difference whatsoever!! I think it had something to do with my looks/ body and all that, which I constantly told him were the most unimportant and shallow things going…but it didn’t matter. I also know that he thought of me as a threat (he told me one night when he was high for the Gods) and that I would take everything he had/ his position, which I also constantly tried to reassure him was just ludicrous. The only trouble with that part, is that is why he continually tried to sabotage and ruin anything I attempted.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to go into so much detail lol!!
It’ll all be in the book, if I ever get to finishing it!! 🌟
Never apologise! I totally see things for what they are and see through the situation.. I have never been keen alway fell towards Dead Or Alive as I thought they were more authentic.. you deserved better ❤
Great video
You asked if there is anything we want to hear about. I have always wanted to know about the dinner yourself and Kim Wilde had which was shown as a feature over pages in Smash Hits. I'd love to know more about that FAB photo session of you both having dinner xx
Thanks for your video, one of your most interesting yet. You are a natural born raconteur. A window into pop culture history. Fascinating story about Luther and George. As a witness to pop history, do you recall what happened with Culture Club’s third album? Did you hear the War Song in advance and advise BG not to release it? What was going on behind the scenes? I’ve noticed BG didn’t write about that period in his book and seems reluctant to talk about it
Yes, I told him that song was crap in my opinion…a serious subject given that kind of treatment? Nobody was going to give that any serious attention…ludicrous.
@@TheMisterMarilyn Thank you for your reply, Marilyn. I wish he had listened to you. When that song came out millions of fans deserted him. It really hurt his credibility and killed the chances of the third album right out of the gate even though there were a couple of potential hits on there. It must have been fascinating for you to have a ringside seat to the fall of the Culture Club empire (at the time he was the biggest star in the world after Michael Jackson). And you were his best friend. I am guessing they were overconfident, complacent and overworked, and because George was so famous his wishes overrode the band’s advice, even if they didn’t want to release that song. I think the record company should have done some market testing too before choosing the singles
Omg I so love you Marilyn !!!!!!!!!!!!!
So interesting to hear about your band aid stories. I love hearing about your days in 80s New York, and be good to hear about any favourite gigs/shows you attended that made an impression on you.
You are amazing and hilarious. Thankyou for this story, twas on the edge of my seat waiting for the next bit 🤣🤭😹
I think Paul Young had the first line Maz. Did you ever meet Michael Hutchence? And can you get me a date with Keren Woodward please!
Yes I met him several times (Michael) 🌟
@@TheMisterMarilyn wow amazing what was he like
Another great vid. Yes, you have spoken of Band Aid before including the Quo being a little naughty lol, I am sure anyone here wouldn’t mind hearing it again.
Luther sounds lovely, you should have ordered Gina something extra chewy 😸
That’s never stopped her, trust me 🙄
Wondering why Kim Wilde wasn't involved into Band Aid
@@MrDoeringerMartin Yes she had a fab voice.
I will become a member soon I will get my daughter to help me when she is over here. I am not good at technology either.
Thank you so much!! 🌟

Hi Marilyn another great video hope and your family are keeping well you defo should bring your book out you have some great stories to tell it's all social history isn't ps I seen a great photo of late of yourself and Jermaine Stewart be great to know how you met him etc he seemed such a nice genuine person and so talented and underrated t care
😇🎸
0:21 hi, Marilyn
Love your makeup look Marilyn 👍
It’s always a joy to hear you talk about the past! Was wondering, Marilyn did you go to Steve Strange’s birthday party in a warehouse in Wapping? It would’ve been 1980 and Gina and Philip were there. It was a very dodgy area back then and I got bashed on the head by some thugs on the way out! Lol 😀
I was living in Los Angels then I think 🌟
Sorry Marilyn but I couldn't help but laugh when you said "I was gonna do one of the first lines!" LOL
What’s so funny? I don’t get it, h less you’re trying to be bitchy, and I’m not here for that nonsense
@@TheMisterMarilyn I think was a joke , maybe referring to a different kind of line. lol. Anyway you are fabulous.
Bloody ell I’m lucky if I get the Avon lady knocking on my door! Lovely to see you again! I’m not gonna refer to you personally as a bus, but I’m sure you know what I mean. Just hope these chatters keep running to this kinda schedule. 😘
I am pissed off that my mother never had the Avon lady around
*thinks*
Now Marilyn is my Avon Lady !
YOU have spoke about Band Aid but this was new information. Amazing stories about Pops finest Moment. Oh Maryiln you should have sung that line. PAUL Young is brutal these days.
My ex manager managed him 🌟
@@TheMisterMarilynOh wow Marylin. Marylin... you sang the Middle part With Glen Gregory... Martin Fry was absent... could you be mistaking him for Martin Ware? Anyway but Trevor Horn was there of course and he wanted to do a more dynamic chorus but time ran out?
Martin Fry was missed really.
Sorry but BandAid is my Master Mind subject.
I heard Dee C Lee thought you were after Paul
Well, let’s put it this way…she was never the sharpest tool in the box, just between you and me!!
In fact, she was living at my friend’s house, and I had a conversation with her one day and explained how ‘beneficial’ it could possibly be should she manage to get with Paul…she didn’t ‘get’ what I was trying to tell her, and it took quite a while to get her to understand, but finally the coin dropped…and voila!! Within six months she was married to him!! I had my own little thing going on with him, and if I were so ‘desperate’ to keep him all to myself, I certainly wouldn’t have given her ‘lessons’ on the art of seduction!! I don’t know where you heard that rubbish, but it can’t have come from her, because she knows as well as I do, EXACTLY what the situation was, and I can’t imagine her telling ridiculous lies like that, especially when she knows I don’t play with that kind of nonsense!!
I didn’t need to ‘try and get Paul’, that part was already a done deal. Now I’m going before I say something that might potentially get myself into trouble looolol!!
She learned how to ‘get’ Paul from me…and I can’t imagine her saying anything to the contrary!! She might evade the question, but she would have to have WAY more front than I believe she possesses to fuk with me like that…so what you heard can only have been uninformed gossip, of which I do not partake!! 🌟
And Bono should know! Apart from his own talent as a singer, his Dad was an accomplished tenor. Love your stories Marilyn, they are real treats to listen to. And you are so honest and funny. Love your take on different people and life in general 💖
That’s very kind of you to say…I appreciate it very much indeed!! 🌟
your hair looks more end more like Pete Burns from the 80's 🤭
Thanks for your input lol
You need to do the next celebrity big brother, the T would be spilling 😅
They would all fukkin starve lol
Thank you Mazza what a story! I needed this bit of escapisum today! Cant wait for the next installment. I do wonder if many of these top music performers are away of the 'club' and pacts they have to make in order to stay at the top. I wonder if they have regrets? You can see how dark the symbolism is in certain tours and music video's. 🙏💗
Im not good Im back in hospital after 3 weeks of discharge. Pains in my chest affecting my lungs & oxygen levels & panic attacs every time i get up
Oh no!! Fight!! 🌟
Love love love this video...Luther Vandross? OMG! Get that book done....lol
Love the monologue...too funny!!!
What do you feel when people mention the name Pete Burns?
Sadness
FIRSTLY :-:-:- Thank You soooooo much for this video, it could have gone on for an hour and I would have been glued!. You have discussed Band Aid before as I remember loving one of those videos where you discussed Status Quo e.t.c... But I know you didn't talk about how Bob Geldof wanted you to do one of the early leads on Do They Know It's Christmas. I can hear and see the regret you have about not having the confidence which is something many don't have when young. What a pity, I have ALWAYS loved your voice as it was like nobody else's and very unique to what you were doing and you had your own style of singing and tone. The parts you sang were with Glenn Gregory of Heaven 17 as Martin Fry wasn't on the record at all. Yourself and Glenn sang "Here's To You" ... "Here's to them" ... with Paul Young in between you guys. Paul Young was also the first lead voice on the record. But you know what, you still got a major part in the record and have your own part with Glenn in the video which i have always loved as both of you had your eyes closed giving it your all. As far as Bananarama and Jody Watley, I am not surprised you got along with them well as Bananarama are ALWAYS so lovely! ... I have met them many times and they SO appreciate their fans and are very easy to get along with and Jody Watley is an absolute sweetheart. She let my sister and I and some friend in her dressing room to meet her in London in 2019 and was such a gorgeous ray of light.
OH! ... I so LOVED the story of Bono telling you how great your voice is xoxo That is so brilliant!
Your story about the hotel in New York you used to stay at a lot and Helen Terry bringing Luther Vandross to your room really had me absolutely spellbound!!!!
... WOW ...
Helen being shady and calling George up and typical of George to want the limelight and come down to your room with no regard to what was going on with you two (haha)
I love that Luther persisted that you go to dinner with them and when you mentioned what Luther said to George "You better be careful talking about how much money you have as one day you will meet someone who has more" ... Obviously Luther meant he had more money (HAHAHA) ... Love how classy he put that without actually saying it directly to George?
I'd looove to hear more about your Luther stories as I have ALWAYS loooooooved his voice, my goodness how he soothes the musical pallet! - My favourite track from Luther was always "I Wanted Your Love" - what a KILLER track and "Never Too Much" and like you - His vocals on Bowie's "Young Americans' remains so phenomenal !
Also ... thank you for the story about dear George Michael xoxo He really was such a shy introverted man and if you haven't watched the Wham? ... Nextflix documentary which Andrew put together last year then PLEASE watch it!!!¡ ... Andrew talks a lot about the lack of confidence George had but what a voice and charisma he really did have ESPECIALLY in the early days of Wham! on the Fantastic album. Those TOTP performances you speak of are their best with so much energy, spark and street sense! ... Loved you singing Bad Boys as well and talking about Dee C Lee!
You know what, whether many of us have money or not .. In your case, your life in the late 70s and throughout the 80s is something money can NOT buy! ... You really had some of the best times and so many amazing experiences. What experienced do people have now, social media (yawn)
Wow!! I so enjoyed reading your response!! You got it all perfectly, as usual!! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and respond!! 🥰🌟🧡
Did you ever stay at the Chelsea in NY?
I lived there for about two months one summer 🌟
Another aMazzing vid !... your vidz ain't going down the pan, your frying pan is sizzling Mazza !... Blessed Be !
how you doing ,,not heard from you in a while,
Not so good at the moment, but maybe God will call me Home. 🌟
Hey hun💋loving your stories. Please tell me who you like to listen to now and what 80’s music did you enjoy. ❤
I'm thinking Motown and stuff like that
❤❤❤❤😂 Hugs
27:55 gosh, Gina ❗️
I seen Bob Geldof in Victoria Train Station Sunday 26th September 1993 came from Manchester for Madonna’s Girlie Show at Wembley. Did you go to The Girlie Show?
Yes. I’ve been to all of her Wembly Stadium shows (her manager was going to manage me, so he always gave me the whole red carpet treatment) 🌟
Another amazing video , I felt like I was in that hotel room with you ❤ how do I become a member xxx❤
It should say how to become a member!! If not, click on the last video I did for members only and it should tell you there!! 🌟
Am so bad myself with technology 🤦🏼♀️ I can’t find anything that lets me become a member 😢💞💞
I would love to hear about your experiences recording in the studio, with Don Was, abd his session musicians & singers.
I’ll talk about him next 🌟
Thank you, look forward to hearing about it.. @@TheMisterMarilyn
Looking forward to hearing about your recording sessions in Detroit with Don. 👌@@TheMisterMarilyn
Marilyn hi, did you ever meet the Fabulous Wealthy Tarts, they sang with Paul Young ,I used to think they were so cool. Especially the blonde called Maz as well. Thank you. Also yes you were/are a great singer, just wanted more from you.
