"Falling in Love Again (Can't Help It)" is the English language name for a 1930 song composed by Frederick Hollander as "Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß auf Liebe eingestellt." The song was introduced, and popularized, by Marlene Dietrich in the film Der Blaue Engel. The English language words were written by Sammy Lerner, but are in no way a direct translation of the original.
"Falling in Love Again" is a 1977 song recorded by singer Marvin Gaye and issued on his 1978 album, Here, My Dear album. The song was another track on the personal album that didn't discuss the demise of his first marriage. Instead of Anna Gaye, the song talked of the other woman in Marvin's life. The woman, explained in "You Can Leave, But It's Going to Cost You", as "that young girl", was Janis Hunter, with whom Marvin had married. In a solemn but still certain tone, Marvin wanted to be sure that this time his love with Janis will be what he had always wanted. But as irony would have it, by the time of the album's release, Marvin and Janis' relationship was ailing. By the end of the album's promotion, Janis had split from the singer after nearly two years as a married couple. They eventually divorced in February of 1981. This song was the last song on Here, My Dear with a reprise from the album's "theme song", "When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You", playing soon afterwards putting the album to a close for good.
"Falling In Love Again" was Kevin Ayers’ final release on Island Records. The song, written in 1930 by Friedrich Hollaender was originally popularized by the legendary actress Marlene Dietrich in her film Der Blaue Engel. After Ayers’ recording, it has subsequently been covered by a diverse collection of acts including Linda Ronstadt, Marianne Faithfull, Bryan Ferry and The Puppini Sisters. The flip side, ‘Everyone Knows the Song’ was an Ayers original. After the release of this single Ayers signed to Harvest Records and both tracks became part of his 1976 album, Yes We Have No Mañanas (So Get Your Mañanas Today). The single was also re-released a few months later by Harvest in parts of Europe but featuring the Ayers original, 'The Owl' on the B-side.
