Music reviews of Very Best of Julie London
Music Review: outstanding in every way
Rating: 5 Stars
The Very Best Of Julie London is a splendid two CD set that offers a whopping fifty tracks spanning her entire career. That's incredible! This is clearly a "must-have" for any Julie London fan; her talent gets the spotlight on this two CD set and I could never tire of hearing her sing. The quality of the sound on both CDs is nothing short of excellent; and the artwork is very well done. As of this writing, I think that one of the pictures for the artwork up above is definitely not the artwork that would come with this two CD set.
There are so many special hits here that I scarcely know which ones to mention; there's not a dud in the bunch. The first CD starts with Julie singing "Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words)" with a very lush musical arrangement. What style she had! Nobody could sing this out quite like Julie London did. "Cry Me A River" glistens like a million diamonds when Julie delivers this with all the panache of a most accomplished chanteuse; and it's clearly one of her best hits ever. "My Heart Belongs To Daddy" gets the royal treatment from Julie who coos this out with a certain appeal that is very memorable; and "Misty" is pure heaven when I hear Julie do this one up right! I also like the very elegant bossa nova tune entitled "Desafinado (Slightly Out Of Tune)."
"In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning" is quite a torch song; Julie's excellent diction helps to make this ballad all her own; and there's a great rendition of "Makin' Whoopee" that will make many a man even today yearn for time alone with Julie! "The Good Life" has a fine musical arrangement that never steals the show from Julie; and listen for a very fine rendition of "Black Coffee." "Blues In The Night" features Julie squarely front and center; and the first CD ends with Julie performing "As Time Goes By" from the movie Casablanca.
The second CD continues the hits. "September In The Rain" is a song I first heard when Dinah Washington sang it; but Julie's rendition holds its own very well. Julie's "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" would make Tony Bennett proud; and there's another gem when Julie sings "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend." Julie plays with the major and minor keys just a bit to place her own mark on this ballad. "Light My Fire" is a terrific cover of a song by The Doors; Julie never skips a beat and I'm impressed. "They Can't Take That Away From Me" has an elegant piano arrangement that complements Julie's vocals; and "One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)" gets a lovely treatment from Miss London--excellent!
"Call Me Irresponsible" sounds very easy on the ear; and "You Made Me Love You" gets quite a romantic flavor to it--Judy Garland would be proud! The second CD ends with Julie London singing "Every Time We Say Goodbye;" she does great justice to this ballad and it leaves you wanting still more!
Performers like Julie London rarely come along in this world; when she sang you listened closely because she could take any tune and turn it into pure gold using her own personal style of magic. I highly recommend this for any Julie London fan; and people who want a five star introduction to the artistry of Julie London can't lose by getting this two CD set.
