@Marlene55M ....... Listened to it again, sorry sounds too broadway.... and too flat,,, if it makes it any better for you she has the moment.... she sounds Drunk LOL again sorry I don't care for it.........
@SEVFEST: If it helps, you might want to read the piece by Brecht "Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny" in which this song appears. But that, of course, is not a necessity. :-)
@SEVFEST: Welcome *wink*. A lot of artists covered songs by Brecht/Weill. The most famous might be "Mack The Knife", originally a song in the "Dreigroschenoper" (The Threepenny Opera). So why not the Doors? They did a great job :-)
@Marlene55M .... LOL I was privileged to see the Doors perfom in 1968 in Asbury Park, New Jersey. They did a fabulous job, yes they did Whiskey Bar (Alabama Song) that night. btw I always was a fan of Mack The Knife and I guess I am a fan of Brecht/Weill now too, Right?
@SEVFEST: Very privileged indeed. I never saw The Doors live and don't even know if they ever had a concert in Germany. Anyway, Jim Morrison died before my parents allowed me to visit rock concerts :-)
If two songs can make you a fan, why not! I also recommend the opera "Street Scene" by Kurt Weill (Lyrics by Elmer Rice und Langston Hughes). Drama to the utmost and great jazzy sound.
she is a serious singer and quite superior to Mick Jagger, although it is a shame they did not make it as a couple, it would have been wonderful if she had had the child and not miscarried, but c'est la vie.
This track is from the CD 20th Century Blues on RCA Victor (1996). It contains many songs by Kurt Weill. Highly recommended as are the other Kurt Weill albums by Marianne

@SEVFEST: The Doors did a very good version, but calling it better than this, you didn't understand Brecht/Weill. Marianne did.
