Artist: Marlene Dietrich | Album: Falling in Love Again (The Collection) | Released: 2006 | Label: Metro | Catalog #: METRCD293 | Genre: Jazz, Pop, Chanson, Ballad | Country: Germany | Duration: 01:03:51
The German-accented vocals of Marlene Dietrich are an acquired taste, for sure, but Falling in Love Again does a good job at showing her diverse output: from the obvious (“Falling in Love Again,” made famous again in 1998 for a Mercedes TV ad campaign, and “Illusions”) to the downright strange (Dietrich’s throaty interpretation of “Kisses Sweeter Than Wine”). The career of the sultry songstress is all too easy to typecast, but the reality behind these tunes was anything but simplistic. She was a struggling actress who used her physical charms to compensate for her thespian shortcomings; she entertained Allied troops during the Second World War–singing, playing the musical saw, and earning herself a Medal of Freedom from the U.S. War Department; she even worked with a young Burt Bacharach on a pair of singles for Dot Records. Once Dietrich sings a show tune, you’ll never hear it the same way again, and her renditions of these tunes–everything from Cole Porter’s “You Do Something to Me” to Freidrich Hollander’s dark “Black Market”–are memorable, to say the least.
