The Cliffdivers (Cover Nick Lowe - Marie Provost ) live @ Royal Bondi Sydney

A band I haven't heard of, the Cliffdivers, perform here Nick Lowe's "Marie Provost." Lowe got a few things wrong on this otherwise remarkable tune. Marie Prevost, not Provost, was one of those silent movie stars whose career didn't survive the industry's transition to talkies.

An alcoholic, she died nearly broke and alone in a hotel room in Hollywood, not on July 29 as Lowe wrote--yes, that is today's date--but on January 21, 1937.

Enjoy all the song written by "the Basher" all the same!
