Remember 16th May 2014		78 RPM Marlene Dietrich - Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuss auf Liebe eingestellt / Nimm dich in acht vor blonden Frauen	Review For those of you who may not be so familiar with the 1930s and the artists : this copy is EXTREMELY RARE. A hard to find and very wanted collectors item. FRIEDRICH HOLLÄNDER : an important compser of shows and cabaret songs in Berlin in the 20s and 30s. He started working for the UFA movie Der blaue Engel (1930) per chance, when the role went to Marlene Dietrich. Apart from very famous Berlin 'Revue Shows, he also directed a lot of well known movies in those days. After the Nazis came to power on January 30, 1933 he immigrated via France and England to Hollywood, where he got a three months contract. There, he wrote songs and scores for various movies (Sometimes he collaborated with Leo Robin, Frank Loesser or 'Sam Coslow (most mentionable The Boys in the Backroom). RKO signed him as director for the Western "Bullets and Ballots". After the decline of musicals in the mid 50s he returned in 1956 to Germany, where he continued working for shows and cabaret, this time in Munich. As composer/lyricist he retired in the 60s, but he kept writing books till the 70s. MARLENE DIETRICH was best known for her sultry, sex appeal. She was a major leading lady in the 1930s and 1940s. Dietrich’s career in Germany began to take off in the late 1920s. Making film history, she was cast in Germany’s first talking picture Der Blaue Engel (1930) by Hollywood director Josef von Sternberg. An English language version, The Blue Angel, was also filmed using the same cast. With her sultry good looks and sophisticated manner, Dietrich was a natural for the role of Lola Lola, a nightclub dancer. The film follows the decline of a local professor who gives up everything to have a relationship with her character. A big hit, the film helped make Dietrich a star in the United States. In her personal life, Dietrich was a strong opponent of the Nazi government in Germany. She had been asked to return to Germany by people associated with Hitler in the late 1930s to make films there, but she turned them down. As a result, her films were banned in her native land. She made her new country her official home by becoming a U.S. citizen in 1939. During World War II, Dietrich traveled extensively to entertain the allied troops, singing such songs as "Lili Marlene" and others that would later become staples in her cabaret act. She also worked on war-bond drives and recorded anti-Nazi messages in German for broadcast. By the mid-1970s, Dietrich had given up performing. She moved to Paris where she lived out the remainder of her life in near-seclusion. In the mid-1980s, she did provide some audio commentary for Maximillian Schell’s documentary film on her, Marlene (1984), but she refused to appear on camera. Dietrich died in 1992, in her Paris home. After the funeral, she was buried next to her mother in Berlin. WEINTRAUB SYNCOPATORS aka The Weintraubs (translation: the grapes) : A German Jazzband, highly rated by (a.o.) Louis Armstrong. They were one of Germany’s most popular and successful jazz bands, founded in 1924 and so in demand that they played on Marlene Dietrich’s landmark 1930 film, The Blue Angel. Their repertoire consisted mainly of hot jazz and novelty comedy songs. Ever since their records have been highly in demand with most collectors of 1930s jazz and dance music. ✔︎ Helpful Review?

Remember 15th May 2014		78 RPM Rosemary Clooney - Ford Thunderbird Postcard Phonograph Record ("Ford-Song")	@ Excello-2101 ... I don't know all that much about cars, are you sure? ..that would be so funny! If so, then why did they show a different Ford on the card, when on the rear-side of the card, all they do is praise "Ford Thunderbird". ..It's been awhile since I played this record but I think that on it, even Rosie Clooney is mad about it, and she recommends it to everyone ... :))
