Julie London - The Very Best of Julie London - 2CD (2005) [Repost]

"The Very Best of Julie London" offers an extensive overview of London's recording career with 50 selections she cut between 1955 and 1969.

Julie London, (born Julie Peck) was one of the top female vocalists during the 1950's and early '60's, her most famous recording being 'Cry Me A River', released in 1955. Julie's vocal style has been described as being sultry, sexy, 'come-hither', intimate, breathy, warm, smoky, haunting, husky, sullen, sad, suggestive and seductive. She self-described her voice in a LIFE magazine article in 1957, as 'It's only a thimbleful of a voice, and I have to use it close to the microphone. But it is a kind of oversmoked voice, and it automatically sounds intimate.'
