The Girl in the Song-Marianne Faithfull

Many know that Marianne Faithfull was the inspiration behind several Rolling Stone songs, but did you  know she was also the inspiration for the song 'Carrie Anne' by The Hollies?

Graham Nash revealed that he had been inspired by Marianne but was 'too shy' to mention her name. At the time Marianne had had a brief relationship with fellow Hollie, Allan Clarke but she revealed in her autobiography that Nash was her favourite in the band.
Here are The Hollies performing the song on the 'Smothers Brothers':
