She's one of those singers like Bob Dylan or Johnny Cash who can't sing a note but who really know how to sell a song. Of course, it probably helps to look like her.
Speaking of Marlene's legs (of which my father also has on several occasions) -- wondering who took that very cool photo that was essentially just her crossed legs and her hair, as I recall -- fantastic photo.

The only thing that I remember about Marlene, is my dad making a comment about her legs.

She was never mentioned again.
That made me laugh.
