Keep The Customers Satisfied ~ Marsha Hunt
Marsha Hunt was born in Philadelphia in 1946 and raised by three strong women, hr mother Inez a librarian, her aunt Thelma , a glamorous Catholic lady and her grandmother Edna ,a Southern lady who took no nonsense! She moved to California at 14 and later attended UCLA. at 20 she moved to the UK and became involved with many famous people. Mick Jagger fathered her only child . At first he did not want his name connected with her but after the child turned 11 became very involved as a parent and was very kind to her. Marsha is a multi talented woman with acting, writing and singing credits aplenty. The track I've included here is immediately recognisable as an earlier Simon and Garfunkel hit.
