Album Description
Julie's first album from 1955 set out her stall for all time, soft eroticism and single entendre, with sparse accompaniment for a late night groove that has been hard for generations to resist...with Barney Kessel's muted guitar and Ray Leatherwood's subtle bass the only sound apart from Julie's own bedroom whisper...just try to resist. 13 tracks wonderfully packaged with pics of the sultry Miss London and full of notes. Revola. 2006.

Customer Reviews

Everyone a gem
This Album changed my appreciation of music for life. Rock & Roll with it's 3 chord 12 bar blues & 4 chord turnaround formats seemed boring when compared to the guitar playing of Barney Kessell accompanied by Ray Leatherwood on base and the superb vocals of Julie London. This is the epitome of this musical genre and nothing has surpassed it for me.
I love all 13 tracks and can see little point in reviewing each one individually. Off course "Cry Me a River" became Julie's trademark and has been immitated by many top female vocalists. Some how Julie's version remains the best.

Magic
I owned this album in the 50's, and though I always hated the cover, the voice is pure magic.

This is Classic 50's Jazz, don't ignore it.
Thanks goodness for modern technology....
I was at a friends house years ago and we found a huge pile of old Jazz and Blues LP's. Even some 33's ( you gotta be old to remember those lol).
It was like finding a pile of Gold,

I started remembering many of the names in these albums that my friends parents had played on these stowed away LP's.
Many names I didn't recognize but I knew from the Classics they had in this pile like Julie London that they had a great taste in music.
I was so disappointed when I tried to have these LP's transferred over to CD's. They were beyond repair. I was brokenhearted.
I thought we have lost all of this great music that made Jazz and Blues what it is, I was worried that the price to own and listen to this great music was beyond my reach..

Then along comes computers and Amazon and there is Julie again. I was delighted,
Her music LP's had been cleaned up along with many other old great Legends from the 30's to the 50's and even 60's.
The price was even affordable.

Well She is in my living room with me every night...
One Classy lady that thankfully some enterprising people had the wisdom to save for life..
Thanks to Amazon and these sharp people.

Julie is just one fine Jazz artist, and she doesn't look bad either. I mean she is probably 80 or more now, lol Check her out.

I have many of her CD's and those of other past Legends.
If you think old music is not good , Well let me allow you in on a secret. It's fantastic and so great to listen to.
It sure beats the so called Top 40's of today and the noise you hear on today's "popular" radio stations......
Spend a few dollars I promise you won't regret listening to Julie and more of our passed on Greats artists.
Her picture may look as people would say now look a but geeky, but throw that CD on your machine and just shush up and listen to some fine tunes, that believe it or not many of the artists performing now in the year of 2000 are still performing.
If you would like some hints on what Classics to buy email me. This old guy will turn you onto some great artists , that have made your music of today popular.
This CD is a must to own.
