Any Marlene Dietrich fans out there??? Well, I love Marlene Dietrich - especially when she sang. I remember seeing her as Lola-Lola singing her signature song (and my favorite), "Falling in Love Again". (I'm proud to say that I can do a fairly good imitation of her singing this song!) And I loved her delightful role in "Destry Rides Again" and her singing "The Boys in the Backroom". She was beautiful and talented and sexy... sigh... I have a wonderful huge framed print of her wearing a tux and top hat, which will hang in my new house (as soon as I bring it up from my other house). Anyway, I'll stop gushing over Marlene Dietrich now, and I hope you enjoy this album, which was "recorded on her fabulous opening night at London's most famous night club with an introduction written and spoken by Noel Coward".

Hi, Jim!
Welcome! Glad you stopped by and I hope you find some cool records you like! I'm afraid I don't have anything else by Chad & Jeremy - sorry. But if you have any requests, be sure to let me know and I'll post them if I have them!
Thanks again for your kind words!

Hi Esther,
During WW2 my father's brother Gene
was stationed in Paris and got to see here in person.
I have a picture of my father in Paris during the war standing in fore ground and the Effiel Tower in the back ground.
There is a story that goes with it. Dad had 3 brothers all of them lived together in NYC and all went to Europe for the War. Dad had a numer of medals one given to him by the French for shooting down the first German Jet.
He spent most of his hitch on the back of a Half Track. Jeep with Tank tracks manning the big Machine Guns.
