Marlene Singt Berlin, Berlin (official US title and subtitle: Marlene Dietrich's Berlin – Her Nostalgic Songs About the Grand Old City) is a studio album by German and American actress and singer Marlene Dietrich released in 1965 on Polydor Records label.
The sessions were held in Munich, with Dietrich as producer, Max Colpet as executive producer, and arrangements by Bert Grund. The album consists mostly of works by lesser-known German composers, and was intended as a tribute to Berlin, featuring orchestral and jazz accompaniments and reflecting the city's cultural identity closely tied to Dietrich's artistic image.
Billboard praised Dietrich's expressive voice, particularly on the more intimate tracks. However, the album received limited attention in Britain, as its release coincided with her previous album, which dominated public and media interest at the time.
