The commercial recording of "Junger Mann" from the musical "Karneval der Liebe" became known as "Haben Sie schon mal im Dunkeln geküsst?", sung by Evelyn Künneke (1921-2001). The song is quite naughty with Evelyn explaining the delights of kissing in the dark...
She was the daughter of composer Eduard Künneke and became known to a larger audience when she recorded "Sing Nachtigall sing" (Sing nightingale sing), a melancholic love song written by Michael Jary in 1941.
She was featured as a singer/dancer in "Karneval der Liebe". As mentioned the music was considered very "American" and "swing" and this can clearly be heard in her interpreation.
Evelyn's big time came after the war however, when she recorded many Michael Jary compositions...

See video response (Dorit Kreysler/J. Heesters) for original movie version.
Enjoy.

its such a shame how hard it is to find sheet music or even just lyrics (in German!) for this song. I wanted to do this one for a cabaret performance so bad, but couldn't dig up what I needed. :(

Sie ist doch super. Aber besser als "Sing, Nactigall, sing" ist nichts.

Vielen Dank für's Reinstellen! Ich liebe den Charme der Musik von Damals und Evelyn Künneke ist wirklich so süß. Ich muss jedesmal lächeln, wenn ich sie höre.
