CD Reviews

Not the best compilation out there
ArrivederciBaby | Los Angeles | 01/18/2008
(3 out of 5 stars)

"While this 3-disc, 45-track collection is decent, the 2-disc, 50-track "The Very Best of Julie London" features superior sound and song selection at half the price."
A bargain collection for London fans!
Byron Kolln | the corner where Broadway meets Hollywood | 02/23/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This 3-disc set is exceptional value for Julie London fans, comprising tracks from the early years of her recording career, through the Liberty singles as well as her Capitol recordings.



Julie London's sultry, come-hither vocal delivery is evident throughout such numbers as "'Round Midnight", "When I Fall in Love", "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning", "Hot Toddy" and "I Got it Bad". There are also fun numbers like "Give a Little Whistle" and "My Heart Belongs to Daddy".



Julie London was her own worst enemy when it came to her musical career; she never felt that her voice was special, nor did she think her overall musicality as good as other jazz singers of the period. While she did have some healthy competition from such singers as June Christy, Rosemary Clooney and Peggy Lee, Ms London managed to hold her own, garnered a legion of devoted fans, and recorded many chart albums.



A fantastic gift for the Julie London fan in your house!
