Lale Andersen (March 23 1905 – August 29 1972) was a German chanson singer-songwriter born in Bremerhaven, Germany. She is best known for her interpretation of the song "Lili Marleen" in 1939, which became tremendously popular on both sides during the Second World War.
In 1961 Lale represented Germany at the ESC in Cannes. Lale Andersen was arguably the best-known singer yet to have taken part at Eurovision, being famous throughout Europe and beyond as the originator of Lili Marleen, one of the most iconic songs of the Second World War. Aged 55 on the night of the contest, she was also the oldest. Lale Andersen came 13th with the song Einmal sehen wir uns wieder.
