She is one of the last of a dying species, oscillates on stage between the sexes, dominates the shrill as well as the soft tones; her aphorisms are loved and feared: Georgette Dee, singer, and actress, the »greatest diva in the country, can do everything, knows everything, feels everything« (Die Zeit).
"Gib mir Liebeslied" brings together for the first time her lyrics about being alone, about desire and desire. They are arranged according to the colours that Georgette Dee associates with the moods of these texts, introduced by bizarre-comic aphorisms. Georgette Dee talks about her lyrical beginnings, her early attempts at acting on a tree in the Lüneburg Heath, her first encounter with her pianist Terry Truck in a kitchen in Brixton, England, about her stage life and, of course, about her lovers.
