Paul Morley takes a deep dive into Dietrich's transformation of 'Where Have All the Flowers Gone - a Pete Seeger anti-war folk ballad. This quietly furious protest song is turned into something else as Marlene digs deeper rhythmically and aesthetically than the earnest folkies to give its lyrics tough and tender power that drew on her own wartime experiences. Producer: Mark Burman
