OT: Mark/Marcie Free

by **youkeepmewaiting** » Mon Jan 14, 2008 6:38 am

Sorry i may be doing a few topics about my findings tonight. Just listening to Mark Frees first solo album "Long way from love". He has an amazing voice and this is a classic AOR album. Amazing stuff people. Ive only found this guy after i was given his CD, and its great.

Great interview by Andrew here:

For those who dont know Mark had a sex change and she now goes by the name Marcie.

Any other fans i wonder?

I never listened to Free, but when I first heard of that whole sex change story, I lost all interest in checking them out. To each his/her own, I guess!

However, come to think of it, Mark Free also sang for a band called "Unruly Child", that later recorded w/fellow Hurricaners Kelly Hansen and Jay Schellen on vox and drums. I bought their album "Waiting For The Sun" (Hansen/Schellen), and loved it! I believe the guitar player's name was Bruce Gordy, and I really enjoyed his work on that disc. I need to get another copy of that album, as I don't have it anymore...

No you need to look past the sex change and listen to that album. Il try and get some links later.

So you wont listen to his music before his sex change, because he had a sex change?

I have an mp3 of a demo he did called "Naked Desire". Jesse's Powertrip did a version of it, but even the very raw demo that I have is AMAZING!

Thanks, and very cool song, dude! Stylistically, It would have gone very well on either the Rocky IV or Cobra soundtracks (of which I had both and played the heck out of back then). Dude (or dudette) has a great voice.

Mark (Marcie) Free also sang for King Kobra. I have those, Long Way from Love (get the 2-CD version with the live stuff which I think was from The Gods performance), and the Unruly Child (it was the first album).

Great vocalist!

i like it when women marry into a last name that is the same as their first...

I just found this song on my desktop and am listening to it again -- really good song! Thanks again for that... I'm going to have to check this guy out, and am reading very good things about the 1st Unruly Child CD -- looking for a copy now.

Marcie Free is the VOICE of AOR mate...

I still don't know about Marcie, but I have ordered the first Unruly Child CD, and it wasn't cheap...

Hope it lives up to the hype, because the reviews are incredible.
