Biography by John Bush
The most exotic actress of the 1930s and '40s, Marlene Dietrich performed her cabaret act around the world and recorded for Decca, Columbia and Capitol in the post-war period, after her film career had slowed. A thick German accent and her odd sung-spoken vocal style proved no barrier to international popular success and adoration. Born near Berlin in 1901, she began studying acting as a teenager, and auditioned with director Max Reinhardt several times before entering his drama school. She worked in the German theater and film world during the 1920s, gradually assuming star status until her international breakout at the end of the decade, when she appeared in The Blue Angel, directed by American Josef von Sternberg.
The film's success led directly to Hollywood, where she became one of the major female stars of the 1930s, in such films as Song of Songs, The Scarlet Empress, Knight Without Armour and Destry Rides Again. Because of her German heritage, the newly American citizen made a large mark in the war effort, performing the favorite "Lilli Marlene" on USO tours and recording anti-Nazi propaganda in German. She was awarded the Medal of Freedom and Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor after war's end. She had recorded music in Germany as early as the late '20s, but Dietrich returned again to the vocal industry in the '50s, first with Decca and then a long-standing contract with Columbia. The label released many live albums, preserving her wild cabaret act from various European capitals (several of them recorded with a young Burt Bacharach serving as musical director).
After her Columbia contract expired, Marlene Dietrich began to record with Capitol in the mid-'60s but retired a decade later, returning only for two roles — one in the 1979 film Just a Gigolo with David Bowie, the other a 1984 documentary name Marlene, with her recorded interviews but no glimpse of the present-day Dietrich. Just after her death in 1992, a new musical opened based on her life, titled Sag Mir Wo Die Blumen Sind ("Where Have All the Flowers Gone?").

Review by William Ruhlmann
During her heyday in the '30s and '40s, Marlene Dietrich made occasional studio recordings and sang in several of her films. This two-CD British budget compilation brings together the bulk of these performances, albeit with scant documentation to clue the listener in to what is being presented. The set leads off with Dietrich's first signature song, "Falling in Love Again," a 1930 studio recording made concurrently with her performance of it in the film The Blue Angel. From then on, things run roughly chronologically, starting with Dietrich's first appearance on records in 1928 with "Something in the Air," actually an 8,5-minute medley of material from a theatrical revue of the same name. There are other studio recordings in German, French, and English of songs from The Blue Angel, as well as other songs made in Germany between 1928 and 1931. After The Blue Angel, Dietrich went to Hollywood, where she sang in Morocco (1931). A six-track Paris studio session for Polydor from 1933 is followed by soundtrack segments from Blonde Venus (1932) and Desire (1936). There is a live recording of "Quand L'amour Meurt" from 1939, and then three studio recordings of songs from Destry Rides Again (1939). From the '40s come soundtrack recordings from Seven Sinners (1940) and A Foreign Affair (1948), as well as a 1945 rendition of another Dietrich signature song, "Lili Marlene." All told, that's more than two-and-a-quarter hours of vintage recordings that trace Dietrich's recording and filmmaking career from her start at age 26 in 1928 to its maturity in 1949. As her movie career declined, she turned more to singing, so she no doubt did more recording after 1949 than before. But, as heard here, her basic approach and most of her best-remembered songs were already in place. One might wish that the sound quality was better, and that there were annotations that gave a sense of the recordings as well as basic facts. But a big, important chunk of Marlene Dietrich's work as a singer is contained on this album.
