I'm sure she had nothing to do with the monk chanting and madrigals
back then

And even less to do with NINETEEN FIFTIES music too?

I bet she never made typos either :)

Well, there is this, from 1963 (which is when she started her career as
a singer):

Sounds kind of like a German version of Edith Piaf.

I was looking for "Who is the Incomparable Hildegard?

I show her last name as "Sell" not Knef.

Hildegarde Loretta Sell (February 1, 1906 – July 29, 2005) was an American cabaret singer, well known for the song "Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup".

She worked in vaudeville and traveling shows throughout her career, appearing across the United States and Europe. She was known for 70 years as The Incomparable Hildegarde, a title bestowed on her by columnist Walter Winchell. She was also nicknamed the "First Lady of the Supper Clubs" by Eleanor Roosevelt.

She was once referred to as a "luscious, hazel-eyed Milwaukee blonde who sings the way Garbo looks". During the peak of her popularity in the 1930s and 1940s, she was booked in cabarets and supper clubs at least 45 weeks a year. Her recordings sold in the hundreds of thousands, and her admirers ranged from soldiers during World War II to King Gustaf VI Adolph of Sweden and the Duke of Windsor. On some of her recordings, she was accompanied by band leader Carroll Gibbons. During most of the 1940s she appeared on the "Raleigh Room", an NBC Radio program.

She wore elegant gowns and long gloves. "Miss Piggy stole the gloves idea from me," she once said. A noted flirt, she told risqué anecdotes while giving long-stemmed roses to men in her audience. During one performance she waltzed with a U.S. Senator. She is credited with starting a single-name vogue among entertainers. Investments and work in ads for a bottled-water company, barley vitamins and a bathtub device gave her a comfortable income through the rock era.

From the 1950s through the 1970s, in addition to her cabaret performances and record albums, she appeared in a number of television specials and toured with the national company of the Stephen Sondheim musical Follies.

Here's one for you (and it's Art Fleming, by the way).

He became the biggest recording artist of the 1950s shortly after his controversial appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show.

Diane tells me that the picture I used was a different Hildegarde. I googled the Incomparable Hildegarde and that showed up.
