I love that song. She is one of the few country female singers I like in the modern era.
That song puts me in mind of the movie "The Notebook" Thanks for posting it.

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I dont have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Marlene Dietrich (Wiki [1901 – 1992] ) was an Academy Award-nominated German-born American actress, singer and entertainer.

The...Nazi Party, asking her to return to Germany,... (she) turned them down flat. Dietrich became an American citizen in 1939.

In December 1941, the U.S. entered World War II, and Dietrich became one of the first celebrities to raise war bonds. She entertained troops on the front lines in a USO revue

She sang for the Allied troops on the front lines in Algeria and France, and went into Germany with Generals James M. Gavin and George S. Patton. When asked why she had done this, in spite of the obvious danger of being within a few kilometers of German lines, she replied, "aus Anstand" — "it was the decent thing to do."

Here she is in 1963 singing this translation of Pete Seeger's Where Have All the Flowers Gone?

Any body remember dressing like that? I do.

My friends used to make fun of me for diggin' the blues back in the day.
Heck I didn't even know it was called the blues. I just knew I loved it.
