Marlene Dietrich - Lili Marlene (Full Album*) 1959
One of the best recordings I own even though the vinyl's a little crackly. Marlene will transport you in a steamy club in Second World War Berlin and you'll want to light a cigarette even if you don't smoke.
Sung in German.
* not actually the full album, I had to remove a song due to copyright reasons but you can find it here:
