Mein altes Koffergrammophon - Evelyn Künneke

Evelyn Künneke (1921, Berlin - 2001) was an singer, dancer, and actress who saw some considerable success in Germany from the early '40s through the end of the 1950s. Born Eve-Susanne Kunneke, she was the daughter of opera and operetta composer Eduard Künneke. She spent her youth very much in the shadow of her father's renown, and achieved her first success under the stage name Evelyn Konig, as a dancer. Her most prominent fan during the mid- to late '30s was Adolf Hitler.
