Marlene - Dominique Dussault

The song 'Marlène' was a tribute to Marlène Dietrich, and the words included references to the movie ‘The Blue Angel’, which featured the song ‘Ich Bin Von Kopf Bis Fuss Auf Liebe Eingestellt’, a sentence that is also paraphrased – in German – in this song.

The song was performed by Dominique Dussault, who was just 16 years old at the time. When she was much younger, she spent five years in hospital. That’s when she started singing. According to legend, it’s also where she was discovered. At the Eurovision Song Contest, she finished in eighth place. 

I have searched for this single for the longest time, because it's the last one I needed to complete my collection of Monegasque Eurovision entries. Their first, 'Mon ami Pierrot' by Jacques Pills, was never released on record, unfortunately. 

My collection: 7" single no. 6871
Found: Discogs.com, received 23 February 2023
Tracks: 'Marlène' / 'Marlène (instrumental)'
