This two disc set includes her most popular songs. Her sultry style was popular in the 50s and 60s. Her beauty only enhanced her appeal.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Each CD lists about 25 songs. All 3 CD players I own will only play 14 songs. Must be a poor process. No other CD I have restricts the amount of songs. The audio of the 14 songs is good.

I have been a fan of Julie London since I first heard "Cry Me A River".It was about 1960,and the song had been around awhile (1955 ?)but it still got air play from time to time in the small town where I grew up. I had reached the age where those album covers were getting my attention.I saw her on T.V. fairly often and as the years have rolled on I have come to really appreciate what a wide range of talent she had,not only for her music but for her raw talent.Della Reese & Ella Fitzgerald and others may have had more range vocally but on the other hand they did not star in a dozen or so movies and have a leading role in a long running T.V. series as Julie did, along with a singing career.London had a way of caressing a song,it made you feel you were in the middle of it,made you feel you should be listening to it with someone you cared for, maybe siping a little wine with.I have every thing she ever put on vinyl,but this CD brings it back with great clarity remastered to sound as great as ever.There are 50 songs on these two disc's and that in itself makes it an exceptional buy and they include some of London's finest work.A couple of my favorites are "Sway"wich I have heard in a remix with Dean Martins version of the same song,I am quite fond of her version of "In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning" and "The Days of Wine & Roses" is very smooth.Buy this one play it and you will understand where some of todays talent like Diana Krall found there early inspiration.As movie and TV producers continue to use her music in new production's her music will continue to be "rediscovered"by folks much younger than me.Julie London died at age 74 October 18, 2000Read full review
JULIE LONDON IS BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST FEMALE LOUNGE SINGERS FROM THE 50'S AND 60'S. LISTENING TO HER MAKES YOU FEEL AS THOUGH SHE IS PERSONALLY SINGING TO YOU AND YOU ALONE. ALL IT TAKES IS ONE SONG FROM THIS SENSATIONAL PERFORMER (I RECOMMEND "GO SLOW") AND YOU TOO WILL BE IN LOVE WITH JULIE LONDON. NOT ONLY WAS SHE A BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, BUT HER TALENT WENT BEYOND HER YEARS. AT 18, SHE WAS DISCOVERED BY ALAN LADD'S WIFE, SUE CAROL. SHE WENT ON TO BECOME A MOVIE STAR AND TV ACTRESS IN THE 70'AS DIXIE MCCALL ON EMERGENCY. HER MUSIC TODAY IS LISTENED TO STILL AND REMEMBERED AS THE WOMEN WITH THE "SMOKY, SENSUAL, COME HERE VOICE." NOW GO AND LISTEN TO "GO SLOW ON U TUBE AND BE PREPARED TO BUY YOUR FIRST JULIE LONDON CD. ENJOY.
This collection is well worth the price. There are lots of great songs and Julie really did them justice. She had more talent in her little finger than a lot of modern day 'super stars' have in their whole body. I never get tired on listening to her and it really saddened me when she passed away. Anyone who is a Julie London fan would love this CD. It is one of the best compilations that I've found and I've been collecting CD's for better than 15 years. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
