Album Description
A sultry, smoky-voiced master of understatement, Julie London enjoyed considerable popularity during the cool era of the 1950s. She used restraint, softness, and subtlety to maximum advantage. An actress as well as a singer, London played with heavyweights like Gregory Peck and Rock Hudson. London performed her biggest hit, "Cry Me a River", in the Jayne Mansfield film The Girl Can't Help It. The 2-disc The Very Best of Julie London includes "Cry Me a River", plus "Fly Me To The Moon", "My Heart Belongs To Daddy", "Making Whoopee", "Blue Moon" and many more.

JULIE LONDON--THE VERY BEST OF--CD November 18, 2009
Mr. W. J. Wright
Beautiful actress/singer JULIE LONDON[1926-2000]was born GAYLE PECK in Santa Rosa,California,U.S.A. on September 26,1926.
This 2 CD fifty[50]song collection is a great cross selection of songs from Julie's long recording career.Also interesting to read is the 10 page booklet,revealing all about Julie's,songs,albums and films.Her biggest hit record was the classic-CRY ME A RIVER-which she sang in the famous rock and roll film-THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT-1956,starring JAYNE MANSFIELD.
As well as being a very fine singer she was also a very fine actress,appearing in many films-especially in Westerns and Film Noirs,as well as TV programmes.
For JULIE LONDON fans,this double CD is a GREAT BUY.
Regards,Bill.

Gosh, this took me back to my youth, the age of great and good expectations - the late 1950's and early 60's with their unmistakeable sound and sexy undercurrents.
Excellent recordings, great sound and that velvety sultry voice... Do they still make them like this? Don't know; but this double CD deserves to be in everyone's music library and to be listened to.
Superb Late Night Music... December 22, 2006

There's something about Julie London's voice... sultry, sexy, super-cool... that perfectly captures the feel of the night. And, if you only know of her through "Cry Me a River" - as most people do - then you're in for a real treat because between the mid 50's and the late 60's she produced a huge amount of similarly beautiful music.
Featuring 50 tracks, most of which are "standards", virtually all of which are near-perfect examples of how to inject pure "atmosphere" into a song, and an incredibly large number of which are better than their more famous originals, this superb compilation will leave you wondering why she wasn't ranked up there with the great artists of her time... and, more interestingly, given the huge popularity of recent "jazz-cool" artists such as Norah Jones, why she's still so undiscovered.
Best of all this selection is a quite superb, flawlessly sung & played "late night" album - put it on and slip into over two hours of gloriously laid back music... you won't find much better.
