Ich dich liebe - Pink Martini ft. Storm Large | Live from Portland - 2021

Come join the party! Pink Martini’s Summer 2023 TOUR tickets are on sale now at: Pink Martini’s popular concert favorite “Ich dich liebe“ was, as bandleader Thomas Lauderdale reminds the audience, originally sung by Mamie Van Doren in the 1964 German Western “Freddy und das Lied der Prärie“ (“Freddy and the Song of the Prairie“). Written by Lotar Olias, Max Kolpé and Karl Vibach, the song was recorded by lead singer China Forbes on Pink Martini’s 2013 album “Get Happy.“ This performance, featuring guest singer Storm Large, was filmed on a rainy day in September 2021, soon after the band started touring again after a long hiatus during quarantine. It features a string section from the Portland Youth Philharmonic, along with trumpeter Thomas Barber and trombonist Robert Taylor, performed at the midway point of an epic three hour concert in the band’s hometown.
