I have been at the concert in 1962. It was a dream, but all dreams end in some disappointment and that is that most of us are no longer here, just gone into memory. I am still around, but than, I am not famous, only a little bit. I am old as well and one day, well, I will be forgotten as so many of us are.
I saw her live at a Chicago supper club on her last formal tour of America in the late 70's. She was a master illusionist/actress at that point who still could seem to be one of the most beautiful women in the world. She acted her songs and made them more effective for the most part than any singer who just sang them. She was incredible and deserves her status as a true show business legend. Others below also note how she worked tirelessly in the war years to bring hope and song and beauty to troops fighting the Nazis. Again, a true legend.
My Dad always had a certain fondness for this singer who would drive in a jeep up to the frontline troops to provide them with entertainment even though Hitler had a price on her head
I always thought She achieved great interpration and feeling call it stage craft with her live performances, lovely to hear this for the first time. I saw her 6 times and my favourite song is still`WHITE GRASS`.
Très réussie cette vidéo Avec le petit plus Les craquements du disque MARLENE QUI CHANTE EN FRANCAIS AVEC CET ACCRNT QUI 'OUS FAIT FONDRE MEGCI MARLENE D'AVOIR TANT FAIT TANT DONNER A TOUT JAMAIS DANS NOS COEURS
She was such a wonderful Lady. Sweet, loyal, intelligent, talented glamorous and so many more things. I would give almost everything to talk with her for a couple of hours.
I read her daughter's biography, written with some bitterness, but then again, to be able to meet some of the greatest people of the 20th century, she came home every night to cook dinner for her daughter after making movies at Paramount, cross the Atlantic in the Deauville suite of the Normandie, given a New York brownstone as a wedding gift, we should all be so traumatized!
@@sshowgirl933 Stephen Bach wrote the definitive bio. Maria told the truth sometimes but her book was very one sided and left out extremely important info, but included far too many dull details about her self.
@@taddyd1 yes you are right it was very one sided i think it was maria s feeling and truth and marlene was human going two find stephen bach bio thank you so much too see it one other way sorry i am french
I always look forward to your next videos and you NEVER disappoint! Wonderful song, fabulous footage - thank you for putting it all together and sharing!
@IFINEVERSING Wow, you actually got to see her!!! How I envy you!!! I would give anything to see have seen her just once in one of her wonderful concerts!! All I managed was attending her funeral the day she was buried to say good bye to the last great diva and mythos we had, it was a very sad day. I so would have loved to see her at Vegas when she did the dance routine in her tails, I can't believe there's no video footage whatsoever from those Vegas concerts online. What concerts did u see
..We're after the same rainbow's end Waitin' 'round the bend My huckleberry friend Moon river and me. Au jardin de mes souvenirs J’ai vu fleurir l'amour. J’ai vu tes yeux Noyés de bleu Versant dans mes rêves Tout l’or du bon Dieu. Sur ton coeur j’ai penché mon coeur Et j’ai cueilli la fleur de mai. La rose en mes mains s’est brisée. Je l’ai vue pleurer Des larmes de rosée Quand tu m’as quitté. Au jardin de mes souvenirs Hier j’ai vu mourir l’amour. Pourtant si demain tu voulais Mon rêve enchanté Pourrait recommencer Au soleil de mai.
Chère MARLENE MAINTENANT SA VOIX NAVIGUE DANS LA GALAXIE DE MARCONI ELLE CROISE LES VOIX DE CARUSO,EINSTEIN,STEPHEN HAWKING,GABIN,LA CALLAS Très chère MARLENE
Polisch... przypomnę!... TA WIELKA LADY mieszkała w betonowym bloku w małym pokoju! przypomnę!... większość swoich PIEŚNI ZAŚPIEWAŁA POKORNIE Z RĘKAMI DO TYŁU przypomnę!... MARLENE DIETRICH była przyjaciólką JUDY GARLAND MAMY LIZ MINNELLI... przypomnę!... stanęła niespodziewanie nad stolikiem w knajpie przy którym siedziała EDITH PIAF i powiedziała "PRZYJDĘ"... CUDO ME JAKŻE CIĘ BRAK! ❤ ™ Sygnuję Andrzej Celmer Zajączkowski 24 12 2023
wonderful....is there any way this recital at the Paris Olympia could be shared? Her friend Piaf sang at the Olympia in september 1962. Shortly before her death in Oct 1963, she was thinking of her "rentrée à l'Olympia". She was so weakened and impoverished, that she was wasn't aware, this would never happen.
Look at Europe1 radio archive, they must have the full show recorded, snippets of some songs could be found at INA France archive (you could register there for free) in a many hours interview in French with her, it consists of many hours talks with her - 2 hour cut was issued on cd called Sacre Monstre - something like that , with a photo from Shanghai Express train on cover
Tanya : We're closed. Quinlan : You've been cookin' at this hour? Tanya : Just cleanin' up. Quinlan : Have you forgotten your old friend, hmm? Tanya : I told you we were closed. Quinlan : I'm Hank Quinlan. Tanya : I didn't recognize you. You should lay off those candy bars. Quinlan : It's either the candy or the hooch. I must say, I wish it was your chili I was gettin' fat on. Anyway, you're sure lookin' good. Tanya : You're a mess, honey.
@dk215 Henry Pleasants, considered one of the great voice and singing critics of the 20th Century, mentioned in the preface to one of his famous books, THE GREAT POPULAR SINGERS, that Dietrich and Astaire knew more about phrasing and tiiming than almost any legit singers, but I appreciate your opinion. Either you're with her groove or it sounds crappy. I don't get Willie Nelson either. Then there's Madona, Paula Abdul, or Janet Jackson. At least Dietrich never lip synced..
Search RU-vid. For example Marlene Dietrich in Berlin; in London etc. Some of her concert songs are on you Tube. I saw her concert in the UK in the 1960s. It was fantastic, She always wore the sexy dress and white mink cape.
Marlene dietrich in London (1964 show, some songs from 1st part were cut to fit one on vinyl , there is also Where Have all the Flowers gone from that show, which was released only in 1968 and sold at her concert as 7 inch single) At Cafe de paris 1954 (UK vinyl includes Go Away from my window, but exclude Lazy Afternoon and No love No nothing (actually early studio recording not live) Marlene dietrich warszawie (in Poland ) released only in 2015 on cd (must for marlene fans) recorded in 1966 and include songs that were cut at In London LP + rare don't smoke in bed . She sounds better there than in London (both very good) And of course Marlene Dietrich Ultimate 2CD , on 2nd there is 14 unissued performances, 3 songs from Chicago are Magnificen, especially Miss Otis Regrets
Tanya : Isn't somebody gonna come and take him away? Schwartz : Yeah, in just a few minutes. You really liked him didn't you? Tanya : The cop did... the one who killed him... he loved him. Schwartz : Well, Hank was a great detective all right. Tanya : And a lousy cop. Schwartz : Is that all you have to say for him? Tanya : He was some kind of a man... What does it matter what you say about people? Schwartz : Goodbye Tanya. Tanya : Adiós.
It's all subjective, of course. I find her extremely charming, as an entire package. The fact that she is ethereal, multilingual and has such a deep voice, makes her very unique and appealing to me.
