YouTube - Lili Marlene http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk-XPQNYxGg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtPBv0KEQNc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUsePoATbrU&feature=related A favorite of soldiers of both sides; this Lale Anderson song was based on a 1915 poem. My opinion? Well it does have that certain SOMETHING which makes a tune great-but "Katyusha" still gets my vote as "best of era" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf7yhnWOtPo (followed closely by "Belle Ciao" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_tAWFwBFKo&feature=related That being followed closely by "Kalinka" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09Rf2KqA7a4&feature=related ). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lili_Marleen What makes a thing or person "Great"? The best minds on the planet are all still trying to figure that one out! JeffinMNUSA
Za; Glad you enjoyed it. If Camille and the Band ever put out a commercial CD I will be the first customer. The American entries in the "Best songs of WWII" contest? I am afraid that the good Ole USA will have to settle for bronze medals in this competition. My personal favorite? This; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEJybcGwcJ8&feature=related JeffinMNUSA PS. And the best song of all time would have to be "Shinele Perele" by the Klezmatics; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i89lXzyrYRY
Za; British; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We'll_Meet_Again_(song) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHcunREYzNY Vera Lynne who also did "The White Cliffs of Dover"; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUx3MU9iM6c FOR SOME REASON not many American songs of the period really stand out. Now the American Civil War period saw some of the greatest conflict tunes of all time; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBa1mQ5hLT8 The Andrews sisters did some military songs; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wiVkdVPGoY And the US did have Louis Armstrong and Cab Calloway and the rest-but they did not do war songs per se; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIHLJbttzGs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhkysLd1X34&feature=related JeffinMNUSA
