A unique documentation of a worldwide hit song. The song that went around the world has, like its story, long ago become a legend, and several times the subject of film plots. A cloth from which dreams are cut: One was named Betty, was called Lili and worked in a vegetable cellar. The other was a nurse and was named Marleen.
The young soldier, who had to stand watch at the army base, loved them both. So much, that he immortalized them in a poem, in which both girls into merged one figure: The little song, which is about parting, longings and an uncertain homecoming, brought about a small miracle in a dark time, because when it rang out the weapons of the Second World War fell silent for a moment.
The woman who sang it became world famous as a result: Lale Andersen from Bremerhaven. Friend and foe, allies as well as enemies, recognized their own stories in the song, so that the soldiers on both sides of the fronts could call the song their own: Germans as well as Englishmen, Frenchmen and Americans. After the end of the Second World War it was shown that the wistful hit of love and parting was much more than a soldier song — even in Japan it stayed for weeks at the top of the hit parade.
Later on when the story was added to and Lili Marleen became a wife, even this version attained the international charts. The great entertainers of the time also contributed to the worldwide success of the song. Internationally known interpreters made it part of their repertoire: And there are discoveries to be made: Also, the spiritual fathers of Lili Marleen, lyricist Hans Leip and composer Norbert Schultze sing 'their song' in a private, very personal version. Lili Marleen without end — a piece of time — and cultural history is documented on the recordings that Bear Family offers with this CD box.

Dietrich vouched on behalf of her sister and her sister's husband, sheltering them from possible prosecution as Nazi collaborators. Dietrich received the Medal of Freedom in November , for her "extraordinary record entertaining troops overseas during the war". From the early s until the mids, Dietrich worked almost exclusively as a highly paid cabaret artist, performing live in large theatres in major cities worldwide. The show was short, consisting only of a few songs associated with her. Dietrich employed Burt Bacharach as her musical arranger starting in the mids; together, they refined her nightclub act into a more ambitious theatrical one-woman show with an expanded repertoire.
Bacharach's arrangements helped to disguise Dietrich's limited vocal range—she was a contralto [50] —and allowed her to perform her songs to maximum dramatic effect; [49] together, they recorded four albums and several singles between and Bacharach then felt he needed to devote his full-time to songwriting.

But she had also come to rely on him in order to perform, and wrote about his leaving in her memoir:. From that fateful day on, I have worked like a robot, trying to recapture the wonderful woman he helped make out of me. I even succeeded in this effort for years, because I always thought of him, always longed for him, always looked for him in the wings, and always fought against self-pity He had become so indispensable to me that, without him, I no longer took much joy in singing.
When he left me, I felt like giving everything up. I had lost my director, my support, my teacher, my maestro. She would often perform the first part of her show in one of her body-hugging dresses and a swansdown coat, and change to top hat and tails for the second half of the performance. Francis Wyndham offered a more critical appraisal of the phenomenon of Dietrich in concert. He wrote in To these necessary elements her own technical competence and her audience's sentimentality Marlene Dietrich adds a third—the mysterious force of her belief in her own magic.
Those who find themselves unable to share this belief tend to blame themselves rather than her.

And who would work if they didn't have to? I work because I pay away in taxes to the American Government 88 cents out of each dollar I earn. Everybody in America works today.

In an interview with The Observer in , she said, "I dress for the image. Not for myself, not for the public, not for fashion, not for men. If I dressed for myself I wouldn't bother at all. I get them in a public store — men's, of course; I can't wear women's trousers. But I dress for the profession.
