The world has had its share of cabaret singers, and Marlene Dietrich was one of the big names despite not having a flattering vocal range like some. However, its made up by her stage presence.
Unfortunately, in my honest opinion, this isn’t one of Dietrich’s finer moments, but you can see where the legend one stood.
Now comes my first foreign post. I only recently became fascinated with French Pop music in the past couple of years. I had a Serge Gainsbourg CD since I felt his music was good bachelor pad stuff, and it worked. Soon I was into more traditional French musicians like Edith Piaf and Yves Montand. However, only recently did I stumble upon Jacques Brel after some reading up on Scott Walker and how Brel was a huge influence.
