Today’s episode: The Stonewall Riots, as learned from the testemonies of the Queer Folks of Color who lived it.

Guest Host: Colin of B/\GG/\E

Today’s featured song: This is My Life by Dame Shirley Bassey, a performance recording from 1968.

I don’t know what music was played in the Stonewall Inn, but knowing what a fabulous Queen Dame Shirely Bassey was and noticing the song was out in 1968- I couldn’t help but picture this song holding this story.

Today’s featured song: Wenn die beste fraudin- Marlene Dietrich and Margo Lion Berlin (1921).

First heard in the caberet ‘Es Liegt in Der Luft’ ( It’s In The Air) written by Marcellus Schiffer and Micha Spoliansky. The caberet premiered at The Comedy on The Kurfüstendam on 15 May 1928, a revue featuring 24 short acts all taking place in a Berlin department store. Our featured song is about two best girlfriends. The song became a hit in Berlin lesbian communities of the time. Tune in to hear Jaz and I fumble through it in an English translation!
