Marlene Dietrich discography
Marlene Dietrich's recording career spanned sixty years, from 1928 until 1988. She introduced the songs "Falling in Love Again (Can't Help It)" (from the film "The Blue Angel") and "See What the Boys in the Back Room Will Have" (from "Destry Rides Again"). She first recorded her version of "Lili Marlene" in 1945. Her first long-playing album was "Marlene Dietrich Overseas", was a prestige success for Columbia Records in 1950. She also recorded several duets with Rosemary Clooney in the early 1950s: these tapped into a younger market and charted. During the 1960s, Dietrich  recorded several albums and many singles, mostly with Burt Bacharach at the helm of the orchestra. "Dietrich in London", recorded live at the Queen's Theatre in 1964, is an enduring document of Dietrich in concert. In 1978, Dietrich's performance of the title track from her last film, "Just a Gigolo", was issued as a single. She made her last recordings — spoken introductions to songs for a nostalgia album by Udo Lindenberg — from her Paris apartment in 1987. Dietrich told Maximilian Schell in his documentary, "Marlene" (1984), that she thought "Marlene singt Berlin-Berlin" (1964) – her interpretations of Berliner  popular songs from the start of the 20th Century – was her best album.
