Re: Shir Hatan, song sung by Dietrich

Fred, 
Dietrich was a remarkable German woman with an opinion of her own, sining for 
the US soldiers fighting in Europe and Africa in 1944-1945 did bring her any 
applause in her own country... if anyone is entitled to sing a Hebrew song let 
it be her, for sure it came from her heart! Karin

  That's even more remarkable than Perry Como singing Kol Nidre!  Dietrich was 
tall & blonde, spoke with a German accent, and conducted her career right thru' 
the Nazi era.  Obviously not much of a Nazi, then.

  A week or so ago, I posted an inquiry looking for the sheet music for a song 
called "Shir Hatan."  Apparently, it was recorded by Marlene Dietrich.  This is 
the first time the list hasn't come up at least something.

  Any ideas/suggestions?  No Dietrich fans out there?
