The legendary Marlene Dietrich as the madam of a regiment of gigolos,
including David Bowie, in post-World War I Berlin. That was the chemistry
conceived for the film Just A Gigolo, and Marlene, who hadn’t spoken a line
of dialogue before movie cameras for 17 years, agreed to return to the screen
because she was eager and willing to team up with Bowie…“He is a very
interesting star”, she commented, which is quite a compliment from someone who
has had her pick of the most interesting stars of her time. Her moments with
Bowie in the film are very special, and her singing of the 1920s title song
around which the entire screenplay centers, disturbing, unforgettable. At 77 in
“Just A Gigolo”, the legend becomes even stronger, so this album rightly
begins with her. Capturing the atmosphere of the era, the soundtrack also
features exclusive contributions from various artists including Bowie, who
composed and recorded the composition “Revolutionary Song” between scenes
and provided most of the accompaniment. There were three different versions
produced for the film, two featuring Bowie on vocals (parts 1 & 3). There
are also three tracks from American award-winning vocal group The Manhattan
Transfer, whose haunting and disturbingly sexy version of the song “Johnny”
is a classic, as well as music from The Pasadena Roof Orchestra, Sydne Rome, and
The Gunther Fischer Quintet.
Just A Gigolo is available as a limited edition of 3000 individually numbered copies on transparent blue vinyl.
