Wow, she looked great there at 74 years of age, died 5 years later....a shame....She looks very familiar to the premier of British Columbia Canada, Christy Clark....Another good German song from one year earlier 1959 was "Morgen" by Ivo Robic which was a big hit here in Canada.
It is hard to describe this lovely lady's hold on the sentiment of so many millions. Her pleasant voice is so soothing, so relaxing that one wants to hear more and more. She's been a harbinger of love, Sehnsucht, Treue and so many manifold emotions that touch the heartstrings of anyone who FEELS life. Lolita had that magic touch to make any song an experience, a trip down some fantasy lane, and, man, did she do it with heart and soul! We'll always love you, dear lady.
Danke. Lolita war auch ein Teil meines Lebens.Männer weinen nicht ? - oh doch. Mir kommen immer wieder die Tränen, wenn ich diese wunderbare Stimme höre.
An unusual, unique, alto voice that conquered the world, Lolita had it over so many others who tried to emulate her rich and vibrant voice. Clear and distinct it differed from copy cats in so many ways. She will be missed forever. Lolita, sing with the angels, because you ARE one of them where God-given talent is concerned.
Lolita...soeben hat mir ein Freeund erzählt, dass Du schon im Vorjahr verstorben bist. Ich wußte das nicht. Du lebst für mich weiter!!! Du bist wunderbar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Diesen Auftritt hab ich im TV gesehen, sie war phantastisch ..
I saw that appearance on television, she was great, I think it was the last time she sang..maybe she appeared once more again at the "Musikantenstadl" a few months later but she stopped singing in 2005.
Lots of memories here - 1960s - sailing on Sydney harbour and so much more. Simpler times even if (apparently) some people just do not understand...and now she is gone. Thanks for the memories and for an at-least-trying-to-be multicultural world (?)
@rorigiles Awww mannn, I wasn't sure if Lolita was still alive or not, I really was hoping she is still alive, but she past last year? This was my very first 45 rpm record I ever had. I'm 54 yrs old now and I was about 4 or 5 years old when my mother (A native of Franfurt, Germany) gave me the record to play on my first record player. I loved the song then and now. I hadn't heard the song for soooooo may years since being a kid.
@Nihilistable Listen here you 28 year old PUNK You wanna be brave? Come here to Nashville, Tennessee and tell me that to my face! You wanna be brave behind your computer, that'll just prove you to be a faget coward!!! Stick a @#&% in your mouth and "YOU" SHUT UP!!! I said NOTHING to you and you have NO reason to mess with me!!! Go SCREW yourself!!! I'm sure your knowlegable on how to do that and I'm also sure the best part of you ran down you mothers leg!!! IDIOT!!!
A beautiful song sung with a beautiful voice. Petulia Clark sung the english version and both versions were released in New Zealand. My father liked Lolita's version best, it took him back to a time when he was a prisoner of war in Germany in WW2.
This song remind me when the world was big, before mobile phones and internet. I was also in the merchant navy in 1971. I am agree with "auskipper" this was one of the most popular songs ever among sailors around the world, and when I hear the song now.....I have to stop and think, it is a very very nice song and she .as you said......she ownes this melody!
Lolita, to those of us in the Merchant Navy in Australia, and, I suspect, many other sailors around the world, in the 60s and 70s, this was one of the most loved songs.
Even though we weren't perhaps entirely sure of the lyrics.
It didn't matter.
We knew it was about sailors at sea and loved ones ashore.
Simple as that.
There were other versions, but you owned this song.
Schade das die Liebe Dame von uns gehn Musste, Mit dem Lied verbinde ich Mein onkel addy und mich...er Marineheld ich ein Träumer hihi... und Opa der schwere lkw lastzüge fahrn musste und dabei drauf ging...ich liebe das lied...es bringt so viel wärme in Mein dunkles und kaltes leben
Schade das es diese grossartige Sängerin nicht mehr gibt. Habe Lolita sehr veehrt. Ihre schöne Lider und ihre wunderbare einmalige stimme werde mich weiterbegleiten. Danke Lolita
i loved the song in 1960 and i'm still playing the song 50 years later thank you lolita and thank you to the person who put her songs on u tube..you have made millions of people around the world very happy
Ich kann das ja garnicht fassen! Das tut mir unendlich Leid- Lolita, die Große Sängerin mit der einfühlsamen Stimme- einfach gestorben! Deine Lieder bleiben uns in guter Erinnerung. Traurig!:(
When I was a little boy, my mom sang this to me, the part she understood, and I loved it so much. I recently bought it from Amazon. What memories. How wonderful to see that Lolita sings it just as beautifully in 2005.
Everytime I hear this song I'm a child once more, listening to this beautiful song in Aunt's basement. I never imaged then that I would become a sailor and sail the world.
ch habe ein Seemann in der Familie aus dem Krieg (nicht mein Onkel, nicht mein Krieg, aber nachdem ich weiß, was dieses Leben) ... ich liebe Perfektionismus in Singen ....
Thanks for this post. Although I dropped German at age of five, I have fond memories of her song as an adolescent. Wish my mother were still alive to see this.
Thank you for this brings back memories of my childhood with my dad and mum singing this song. I thank my German Oma for sending this to us in Australia and making my musical aspirations come true...Lolita is one beautiful woman and she sings like an angel. And this song always makes me cry...it's all good ...
Lolita is a very attractive lady, I have always loved this song and remember when it first came out here in the USA. Does she speak any english ??? Does anyone know? thanks
Damn Fritz. I remember when this song first came out in the 60's. I must say with all due respect. Lolita, even for her age still is a very beautiful Machen.
Hach, wie schön! War 6, als Song die Charts eroberte. Presste Ohr immer direkt an Lautsprecher des Radios und war völlig hingerissen :-) Bis heute werde ich jedes Mal sentimental, fühle mich irgendwie glücklich, wenn ich ihn höre oder singe (singe gerne Karaoke. Habe Song schon öfters zum Besten gegeben - auf deutsch (!) - u.a. auf Malediven. Song kommt sogar bei Englisch-sprachigem Publikum bei jung (!) und alt gut an ;-) . Kompliment an Lolita, die immer noch echt toll aussieht!!
You are an arrogant jackass. Lolita is 74 years old and still beautiful. Regardless, where do you have the right to indiscriminately insult this woman, a fellow human being. If you feel you have that right, then I will exercise the same right by calling YOU a "cow". You are a sad, sad person.
