4.0 out of 5 stars a bargain collection for London fans!, February 22, 2007

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!

Imagine music with a melody and lyrics you can understand and hum or sing along with. They just don't make much of this kind of music anymore. Maybe I'm getting old but I love these old standards, especially the way London sings them, earthy and sensual. This was actually my first London CD. I feel it's a good sampling of all her music, great for someone just getting discovering her and who likes this type of thing. Wonderful listening.

Did this compilation bring back past memories. Julie used to be among my favorite singers during my late teens and early twenties. Her classic is, of course, "Cry Me A River." NO ONE does it like she ! But every song included here is really a classic. I had purchased many of her LP's' and yet had not digitized them. Thus was very excited to see that this DVD was available. It allows for her unique, sultry voice to stand the test of time. She's truly great and THIS is a great collection.
