Now that I am older(much) and wiser(some) I had the good sense to buy "The Very Best of Julie London" 2 CD set at a flea market foe $4 bucks. The lady just has the best timing of ANY singer I ever heard -Jazz, Pop, Opera whatever.Male ,female or in between. Never puts a foot wrong at any tempo.slow, mid or up.NOBODY ever could do what she did with sloooooow even sappy charts,she makes a pigs ear sound like silk. Every girl jazz singer out there(you listening Diana?) should be made to sit down for a month of going to school on her timing. You don't need to sing loud if you can sing good and Julie sang very good! I never paid much attention when I was young and she was at her peak.just another singer.

By then, she had passed the peak of her career of singing in the 50's. However, to me. she was just in the peak of her career! I loved her and her singing and I still do. What a beautiful voice and a wonderful artist she is. I never get fed up of playing her recordings. have so many of her recordings. They bring me peace and tranquillity, whilst i work or do anything else. Bless her soul. Does anyone know anything about her children?
