Julie London - The Very Best Of Julie London *

Artist:

London, Julie

See Also:

Clooney, Rosemary Holiday, Billie Connor, Chris O`Day, Anita Baker, Chet

Description:

This two-disc set, generous at 50 tracks, is probably the most comprehensive Julie London anthology available. While certainly no match for her more technically accomplished contemporaries, London was a fine, appealing singer who used her cool, understated alto to excellent advantage.
London is best known for her signature song "Cry Me a River," and that`s here, of course, but her sultry take on standards like "When I Fall in Love," "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," and "Body and Soul" are nothing to scoff at. While some of her later recordings can suffer from excessive orchestration, London`s vocal stylings are always on point, as the wealth of material on this EMI collection proves.
