dieastraI love this version of Franz Lehár's song "Niemand liebt dich so wie ich" (Nobody loves you like I do). Manfred Krug brought the Jazz to the GDR. This video is from the year I was born and he left four years later so I don't have that many memories of him and this is more the generation of my parents, but I can totally see why he blew everyone away at the time. What a voice! He also played in a lot of movies and TV series. One of those old-fashioned all-rounders.
Good-bye Manne!
Little side note: Our Berlin office actually resided in his former villa. I was there once.

(Just for comparison, this is what the song usually sounds like. It's from an operetta: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFhTvNksCq4 )
