5.0 out of 5 stars Soft, seductive, fifties romance, October 9, 2002

This review is from: Lonely Girl / Make Love to Me (Audio CD)

This latest twofer from EMI in Britain pairs two of Julie's earliest albums - Lonely girl from 1956 and Make love to me from 1957. Julie is often compared to Peggy Lee and Jeri Southern and it's not difficult to see why. They were all brilliant singing (at times almost whispering) late-night romantic songs of the kind with which this twofer is filled - there are no uptempo songs here. I love all three of these wonderful ladies and have most of their available music.

On this particular twofer (as on many of Julie's albums), you will find plenty of covers of songs from the Great American Songbook. Perhaps the most famous song here is Fools rush in, but Lover man, Body and soul, Where or when, The nearness of you, You're my thrill and others have been covered by plenty of singers down the years. I believe Julie's versions of these songs are among the best, if not actually the best.

If you are mainly familiar with Julie's sixties music, I must tell you that her fifties music was much sparser and more intimate - and therefore, to my ears, even better, though not everybody will share that view. This is an outstanding twofer - the latest in a great series. If you enjoy Julie's music as much as I do, you'll never be able to get enough of it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Only four stars - 'What'll I Do', February 4, 2003

This is a great two on one issue from EMI (UK) but it is such a shame that they left off one track from 'Lonely Girl' the original release (and the Italian semi-bootleg cd release) both included the song 'What'll I Do' so why is it not here?
Otherwise I would of given it a FIVE STAR rating.

This review is from: Lonely Girl / Make Love to Me (Audio CD)

These Julie London CD's are quite adequate for those faithful London fans. "Lonely Girl" is reminicent of her early recordings with small jazz combos, while "Make Love To Me" finds Julie with a full orchestra, and provides the listener a higher level of recording, which makes her diction much clearer.
