My partner was a big fan of the Dietrich and in 1982 he wrote her a letter and she responded. I read that she typed her own letters and I remember thinking that it made my partner so happy that one of his childhood idols sent him a letter on July 2, 1982. My partner was also lucky in sending some flowers to Peggy Lee when she was at the Fairmont and she had two tickets at the box office so we could see her. He was lucky to be able to meet Ms. Lee after the show. I looked on from a distance and remember she was in a wheelchair but she did her show sitting down. My partner died in 1991 and when I think of these two ladies, I only think of the joy they gave him, how great is that.

She was 62 in 1963, having been born in 1901. She looks beautiful here - the beauty and the glamor. She may have been born German, but she proved to be a patriotic naturalized American during WW2 by going overseas to entertain and boost the morale of American and Allied forces. Much admired!

I truly admire the strong German discipline that enabled her to go through the pain that she went through in order to look this fabulous.

I saw her in Chicago at The Palmer House and it was AMAZING. She was the perfect chanteuse and DIVA !!

After reading her daughter's book, it's amazing to watch one of these now and know how much she'd been bound, taped back, and sewed in so that she could look as she did.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I have never seen it before. I saw Marlene Dietrich perform live in Copenhagen several times when i was young over a span of almost ten years - and it was pure magic. An old recording like this of course can never do her (or anybody else) justice. But good to see never the less.

A great voice? Well, perhaps not.......bt THIS, boys and girls, is what can be accomplished with charisma, glamour, and sheer force of personality. Truly, authentically LEGENDARY.

She was a performer of songs, not necessarily the same as a singer. A lot of the magic was in how she put character into the songs. Where Have All The Flowers Gone, a spotlight concentrated in her head and shoulders, everything else in darkness, mesmerising and full of sorrow.

@craxylogo2712

She never said about herself, she was a " great singer ". She was a " Diseuse" , its more like Sprechgesang. Her songs are not all, but often Storys. About Live, Love and so on. I like hear her voice and her Interprentation. But everyone can decide.

Marlene became a supreme concert performer. She honed her skills during WW2 entertaining GIs. She learned a great deal from Danny Thomas and other performers. Then she headlined and further enhanced her skills as a star attraction in Vegas. In the early 1960s, Burt Bacharach became her conductor and orchestrator. He updated all her arrangements and the orchestrations so they would support and highlight her voice. He did a sensational job for her.

I had a conversation with Miss Dietrich before her Expo 67 concert in Montreal. She was still very beautiful, incredibly so, the stuff of legends and burningly intense in person, yet feminine at the same time. Her grandson was in my year at Carnegie Mellon University and had mixed feelings about his famous grandmother. The above performance was exactly the same as her Expo 67 version. Unforgetable.

Wow, you are lucky! There she presented her Broadway 1967 programme, read somwhere that in 67 she have sung Surabaya Johnny on her concerts (beside her trademark Johnny song) ,also Burt Bacharach was still her conducter at that time, in 1968, he stopped being her conductor, only few occasional perfomaces.

I saw her live in the early 1970s in Melbourne. Then she went to Sydney and fell off the stage and hurt her leg. It was a great concert, I was only young but really enjoyed it. My friend I went with took me around to the stage door after the show and when she came out she was hoisted onto a car's bonnet and signed autographs.

Once of her last concerts was in New York with a broken leg to earn money to send her two grandchildren to College. After her death , her ungrateful bitch of a daughter wrote an expose in which she didn’t even acknowledge that fact.

There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, this is a legend and a diva, one of those who only comes once in a lifetime. Enjoy.

Que se puede decir, sin ser redundante, de una artista soberbia en la que se conjugan a la perfección, atractivo arrebatador, personalidad carismática y talento. Ese astro fue Marlene Dietrich.

You have made a great job with sound! - officially released songs from that perfomamce on KZread sounds not good, cause it doesnt have echo and perfomamce perceives absolutely different because the absence of echo. Now I understand why sound was important for her as lights on stage

MAGNIFICENT woman and performer. The Most Glamorous of Them All!

Her 1930s recording of Jonny is a classic

Уеs seeing her in person, it was either the late 60 s or very early 70 s I cannot remember the play or cabaret only it was a theatre in George Street Sydney I? I only remember the voice and Legs that I can't forget.

Our men's chorus does this fun event dubbed the "No Talent Cabaret" at its annual retreat. Through rather circuitous reasoning I decided to do do an impression of Marlene, to wit: my mother of German ancestry closely resembled Marlene Dietrich; I was told I strongly resembled my mother. I only wish I had access to such videos as this back then. I was credible enough in my role, especially when the show title alone granted a certain quarter for the level of talent on display. The key is that her accent was not overpowering. It just added a certain spice to her vocal quality. I kept the number of steps I had to walk in heels to a bare minimum.

Marlene Dietrich… obrigada pelo mini- concerto com a maior atriz, cantora de todos os tempos!

Maravillosa Marlene

She was one of the best musical saw players of all time

Glad she made it down that terrible staircase, even if she had to keep looking down!

Marlene Dietrich once said: "Darling, the legs aren't beautiful, I just know what to do with them". The same is true of her singing and acting. She wasn't great at either, but she was a star nevertheless. She dressed for the image and she became what those who saw her movies or heard her sing wanted her to be. What she offered was artifice. What she was, was magnificent.

I couldn't have put it better myself. Her entire world and "trade" was her looks and clothes. However she was a TRUE AMERICAN when it came to entertaining the troops and being a HUGE ANTI-WAR "WARRIOR" during WWII and received The Legion D'Honneur award from the DeGalle in thanks. I read the book by her daughter, Maria Riva and it was depressingly fascinating. Dietrichs' alcoholism and bed hopping really were the road to her destruction.

At this time she was in such excruciating pain it was madness to still perform.
