He is a good as Sinatra was. Too bad I never heard of him. But then I lived in London, and who knew ?

She was a talent which only comes around once in a long while.

In 20 years when Buble's voice gets broader and deeper, he will be better than anyone around. He is tops now. Only Luis Miguel is his equal, and Miguel does not sing in English much. This is my opinion, and I am not a professional musician.

This little video reminds me of the days when i wan in my twenties, and in love with someone. I am now 83, and reflect on those moments now.

I just cannot get over this old lady. It is a shame that when I lived in Paris, I never went over to Germany to see her perform in person.

She was a pure entertainer, in any language. Bruno balz was a genius, unkown here in the USA. Well for that matter Werner was not known here either.

Quite a singer. There are very few good jazz singers around.

What was the name of the first male dancer? He was a very strong dancer behind her.

Marika could sing, Lucille Ball could not at that age.

If you wish to hear another masterful rendition of this song, in German, find Zara Leander's version of it.

at 80, and she still had it. Unknown here in the USA, although she lived her for a while after the war.

Whatever she did even in her older days was wonderful.

I really regret that we in the English Speaking World never knew Leander. She was a treasure lost to us all here.

thanks for this last section.

The drawings remind me at age 82, of my life , years ago. They are shadows of what has been, and what could have been. Youth is so fleeting, it is gone in a flash.

Here she improves upon the song. It evolves into something different. She is an artist, relatively unkown in the USA

Interesting, never saw this one before.

She is an all around entertainer. She has appeared on the stage a lot.

Thanks for this little film. She does not wear make up in this. I wonder why.

The original ia always better. Give her some credit she is trying.

This small clip shows just how wonderful she could be in her later years. Thanks

There is so much lovely popular music from Germany which we in the Anglophone world never hears. Brava Ilse.

Everytime I listen to this piece. Leander sings it as well as Resnick does. Even though I am not German, the use of the language enhances the song. I have to listen to each word.

Listen to the mean laugh when she states she was deeded a Duchy by the King of Belgium.

He had everything. He would be 82 now. The drugs did the poor guy in. It must be very hard to resist them once hooked.

good for him !

You all forget Lena Horne. But Baker was the best. She had the languages which the others did not.

When I lived in the UK in teh 70's and 80's < was a memebr of a bus club. I love the old things, they are works of art.

I live in New Jersey USA now. I lived in the UK for 25 years, between 1961 and 1986. I had an Austin as seen in the video, and traded it for a Wolseley 18/85. Both were relatively comfortable cars to run. They were cheap to fix, and could run through brick walls. They fell short of speed for th...

One of the best renditions of this song is done in German by Zara Leander. She actually puts the idea across that the old lady regrets her life. She actually cries at the end of the song.

She was a person who wanted to free her country from its bondage during the dark period. She never stopped until it was done, That was the admirable thing about her. She did this even though her mother lived in Berlin at the mercy of the bandits who stole Germany
