Summary: Wow!
Comment: I asked for and received this disk as a holiday gift without listening to it first, as I had heard that Julie had a sexy voice and a fantastic delivery. I was not disappointed. Almost all the the songs on the disk are smoldering slow tempo.
The exception is the upbeat, mid-tempo "Daddy," a perfectly-phrased, playful standout. "Daddy" is not sung about her father (unlike "My Heart Belongs to Daddy"), but to the generous man in a woman's life.
This is for quiet, sensuous late nights. Unfortunately, Ms. London did little recording after the late 60's, by which time lounge music had lost its appeal to younger listeners. If this collection is any indication, she leaves behind an impressive body of work. (Adapted from my review of January 3, 2000.)

Summary: GREAT, CLASSIC Female Singer!
Comment: Classic stuff. Anyone who likes Diana Krall will be struck by the uncanny similarity, except Julie can sing ballads too. There are larger collections you will also want.
Has become one of my favorites.
