This record is a compilation for "Deutscher Schallplattenclub", side A a re-release from "Hildegard Knef sings Cole Porter" from the same year, side B from "Halt mich fest" from 1967, with all lyrics written by herself. If you listen carefully, the last track on each side suffers slightly from a bad pressing.
From Wikipedia:Tracks
Hildegard Knef was born in Ulm. She began studying acting in 1940, aged 14. She appeared in several films before the fall of the Third Reich, but most were not released until after World War II.
During the Battle of Berlin, Knef dressed as a soldier in order to stay with her then lover Ewald von Demandowsky, joining him in defence of Schmargendorf, a district of Berlin. She was later sent to a prisoner of war camp.
David Selznick invited her to Hollywood, but she refused to agree to the conditions of the contract which reportedly included changing her name to Gilda Christian and pretending to be Austrian rather than German.
Years later, Knef's first husband, an American named Kurt Hirsch, encouraged her to try again for success in the U.S. She changed her name from Knef to Neff and achieved a measure of stardom on Broadway as “Ninotchka” in the Cole Porter musical, Silk Stockings.
She began a new career in 1963 as a singer and surprised her audiences with the deep, smoky quality of her voice and the many lyrics, which she wrote herself. In the 1960s and 1970s she enjoyed considerable success as a singer of German chansons, which she often co-wrote. She sold more than three million records in total.
Fans around the world rallied in her support as she defeated cancer several times. She returned to Berlin after the reunification.
