Julie London • Julie is her Name, Vols 1 & 2



Although she's now in her senior citizen years, listen to Julie London's stunning 1955 debut, and you'll still think she's one of the hottest creatures on two legs. "The girl with the come hither voice" is how the original liner notes described it, and London's sultry vocals simply oozed it. With the first track--which became her first single--London's legend was etched in stone. "Cry Me a River" became one of the greatest torch songs of all-time, and while it's been reinterpreted over the last 40 years by everyone from Streisand to Joe Cocker, the song forever belongs to London. The other standards here--from the likes of Irving Berlin, Kern & Hammerstein, and the Gershwins--are nothing to slouch at, and one listen to her version of "I'm in the Mood for Love," and you just may be, too. She's semi-famous for being the ex-Mrs. Jack (Dragnet) Webb and, later, Mrs. Bobby ("Route 66") Troup--but genuinely forever famous for this LP. Female lounge singers have been trying to sound just like her ever since. -- Bill Holdship

Aunque ya está en la tercera edad, escuche el impresionante debut de Julie London en 1955 y seguirá pensando que es una de las criaturas más atractivas sobre dos piernas. Las notas originales la describen como "la chica con la voz que se acerca", y la sensual voz de London simplemente lo rezuma. Con el primer tema, que se convirtió en su primer single, la leyenda de London quedó grabada en piedra. "Cry Me a River" se convirtió en una de las mejores canciones de antorcha de todos los tiempos, y aunque ha sido reinterpretada en los últimos 40 años por todo el mundo, desde Streisand hasta Joe Cocker, la canción pertenece para siempre a London. El resto de los estándares de Irving Berlin, Kern & Hammerstein y los Gershwins no tienen nada que envidiarle, y si escuchas su versión de "I'm in the Mood for Love", puede que tú también lo hagas. Es semi-famosa por ser la ex-Sra. Jack (Dragnet) Webb y, más tarde, la Sra. Bobby ("Route 66") Troup - pero genuinamente famosa para siempre por este LP. Las cantantes de salón han intentado sonar como ella desde entonces. -- Bill Holdship
