Sizzling! Marlene Dietrich Mini-Concert at Grand Gala du Disque (Complete, 1963)

Marlene Dietrich performs a Mini-Concert at the Grand Gala du Disque and receives the Edison Award at the Kurhaus in Scheveningen, 12 October 1963.

[@bubaby7867]

My partner was a big fan of the Dietrich and in 1982 he wrote her a letter and she responded. I read that she typed her own letters and I remember thinking that it made my partner so happy that one of his childhood idols sent him a letter on July 2, 1982. My partner was also lucky in sending some flowers to Peggy Lee when she was at the Fairmont and she had two tickets at the box office so we could see her. He was lucky to be able to meet Ms. Lee after the show. I looked on from a distance and remember she was in a wheelchair but she did her show sitting down. My partner died in 1991 and when I think of these two ladies, I only think of the joy they gave him, how great is that.

She was 62 in 1963, having been born in 1901. She looks beautiful here - the beauty and the glamor. She may have been born German, but she proved to be a patriotic naturalized American during WW2 by going overseas to entertain and boost the morale of American and Allied forces. Much admired!

I truly admire the strong German discipline that enabled her to go through the pain that she went through in order to look this fabulous.

[@nudnikjeff]

WUNDERBAR! She's fantastic. Thank you.

[@geoffreyfox9801]

Marlene became a supreme concert performer. She honed her skills during WW2 entertaining GIs. She learned a great deal from Danny Thomas and other performers. Then she headlined and further enhanced her skills as a star attraction in Vegas. In the early 1960s, Burt Bacharach became her conductor and orchestrator. He updated all her arrangements and the orchestrations so they would support and highlight her voice. He did a sensational job for her.

[@johapa75]

I saw her at one of her last concerts in Paris 1973. Unforgettable

After reading her daughter's book, it's amazing to watch one of these now and know how much she'd been bound, taped back, and sewed in so that she could look as she did.

[@tinorozzo7536]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I have never seen it before. I saw Marlene Dietrich perform live in Copenhagen several times when i was young over a span of almost ten years - and it was pure magic. An old recording like this of course can never do her (or anybody else) justice. But good to see never the less.

[@irismac2442]

The one and definitely only Marlene... Now THAT is a performance.... bar none.💕

[@theresakanost2363]

I remember this from TV at the age of 11 yrs! She was truly unique & I remember buying her record from the WWII era at a garage sale!

[@darrylknight2675]

I saw her live in the early 1970s in Melbourne. Then she went to Sydney and fell off the stage and hurt her leg. It was a great concert, I was only young but really enjoyed it. My friend I went with took me around to the stage door after the show and when she came out she was hoisted onto a car's bonnet and signed autographs.

[@nathelondon3719]

Once of her last concerts was in New York with a broken leg to earn money to send her two grandchildren to College. After her death , her ungrateful bitch of a daughter wrote an expose in which she didn’t even acknowledge that fact.

[@classicalaid1]

I had a conversation with Miss Dietrich before her Expo 67 concert in Montreal. She was still very beautiful, incredibly so, the stuff of legends and burningly intense in person, yet feminine at the same time. Her grandson was in my year at Carnegie Mellon University and had mixed feelings about his famous grandmother. The above performance was exactly the same as her Expo 67 version. Unforgetable.

[@savelysavely2483]

Wow, you are lucky! There she presented her Broadway 1967 programme, read somwhere that in 67 she have sung Surabaya Johnny on her concerts (beside her trademark Johnny song) ,also Burt Bacharach was still her conducter at that time, in 1968, he stopped being her conductor, only few occasional perfomaces.

[@classicalaid1]

@@savelysavely2483 Yes, a smiling Bacharach was onstage with her and rumors about their relationship abound. I saw him backstage, as well, handsome, still youngish, elegantly dressed and smiling...at me, no less. He was the one who alerted her that I was waiting backstage to chat with her.

[@bromptondevice7685]

She was a performer of songs, not necessarily the same as a singer. A lot of the magic was in how she put character into the songs. Where Have All The Flowers Gone, a spotlight concentrated in her head and shoulders, everything else in darkness, mesmerising and full of sorrow.

[@craxylogo2712]

She never said about herself, she was a " great singer ". She was a " Diseuse" , its more like Sprechgesang. Her songs are not all, but often Storys. About Live, Love and so on. I like hear her voice and her Interprentation. But everyone can decide.

[@tommunyon2874]

Our men's chorus does this fun event dubbed the "No Talent Cabaret" at its annual retreat. Through rather circuitous reasoning I decided to do do an impression of Marlene, to wit: my mother of German ancestry closely resembled Marlene Dietrich; I was told I strongly resembled my mother. I only wish I had access to such videos as this back then. I was credible enough in my role, especially when the show title alone granted a certain quarter for the level of talent on display. The key is that her accent was not overpowering. It just added a certain spice to her vocal quality. I kept the number of steps I had to walk in heels to a bare minimum.
