Doddy Delissen
Dorothea Delissen (born June 17, 1907 in Vienna , † 1986 in Vienna) was an Austrian pop and jazz singer.
Life
As the child of Danish parents, Dorothea Delissen began her artistic career at the beginning of the 1930s under the stage name Doddy Delisson in Vienna, where she performed as a pop singer with Peter Igelhoff and made her first records with him. In the mid-1930s she went to Berlin, where she called herself Doddy Delissen from then on.
In addition to a few small film roles as a singer, such as "Unter hotem Himmel" (1936), she recorded her own hits, but mainly hits from the repertoire of Zarah Leander , Kirsten Heiberg and Greta Keller . Her repertoire included songs by the composers Ralph Benatzky ("I stand in the rain", with the Eugen Wolff Tanzorchester), Werner Bochmann , Werner Eisbrenner , Theo Mackeben , Otto Berco and Peter Igelhoff. Her darker, somewhat smoky sounding voice reminds in timbre of the singers mentioned above. In the Delphi Dance Palace in Berlin she performed successfully with the Swedish swing band Arne Hülphers and the song "Ich bin, wie ich bin '".
In the 1930s and 40s she was used several times as a dubbing singer for various Ufastars. Best known was her “On the wings of colorful dreams”, which she sang for Hilde Weissner in 1938 in the film “Secret Sign LB 17”.
As she is said to have made herself unpopular with the Nazi regime, she was deported to Denmark in 1940. After the war she dubbed Nadja Gray's singing in the Austrian film "Rosen der Liebe / Liebling der Welt " (1949). After that, their track is lost.
