Music Review: Julie London lights my fire--THANK YOU, JULIE LONDON !!!
Rating: 5 Stars
Julie London, one of the most enchanting songbirds ever, performs magnificently on this sought-after disc with its cover songs that really shine as Julie sings them faultlessly! Julie is in excellent form on this album and it's great for her fans as well as anyone who enjoys classic easy listening. The quality of the sound on this CD is excellent and the artwork is in very good taste.
The album's track set starts with Julie singing "Stoned Soul Picnic" to perfection--and beyond! Her excellent diction enhances her performance all the more and I'm very impressed. The musical arrangement makes good use of the strings, percussion and that flute is just right! "(I'd) Like to Get to Know You" charms me with its natural beauty; Julie puts her own stamp on this ballad by making subtle changes to the keys and the tempo--wow, what a wonderful cover Julie does of this tune! Now THIS is wonderful easy listening/lounge music by one of the best ever. "Light My Fire," by The Doors, shines brighter than silver and gold in Ms. London's capable hands; her voice adds a romantic feeling to this number that makes this excellent "make-out" music.
"It's Nice to Be with You" boasts a stunning musical arrangement that fits perfectly with Julie's vocals; overall this song is just wonderful. "Sunday Mornin'" features Julie London squarely front and center; and she makes it seem so easy, too. Of course, we know it really wasn't all that easy; Julie's talent always carried her through. "Hushabye Mountain" from "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" gets the royal treatment from Julie London who delivers this without ever skipping a beat; and the musicians never even try to steal the show from Julie--she remains completely in the spotlight which is right where she belongs!
"Mighty Quinn (Quinn, The Eskimo)" has Julie doing a superb cover of a tune by Bob Dylan; the percussion sounds great and Julie never sounded better, either. The arrangement plays again with some of the key modulations and once again this lets Julie put her own mark on this tune. Great! In addition, "Come to Me Slowly" is very well done; and I really like "And I Love (Him)" which was first performed by The Beatles as "And I Love Her." "And I Love (Him)" stuns me with its beauty and it's a major highlight of this CD.
"Without Him" is quite memorable, to say the least; and there's yet another gem in a most laid-back rendition of "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy." The CD ends very nicely with Julie London performing "Louie Louie." Awesome!
Julie London could take the phone book and make it sound like the sweetest symphony you've ever heard; and of course her artistry on this CD is no exception. I highly recommend this for her fans; and anyone who enjoys classic pop vocals or classic lounge music will treasure this for years to come.
Thank you, Julie London!

Description of Yummy, Yummy, Yummy
Depending on your age and point of view, you will view this, Julie?s last LP for the Liberty label, as a "Golden Throats"-style camp classic or a soft pop gem. But it?s actually both; for as weird as it may sound for the sultry, intimate vocal stylings of Ms. London to tackle such fare as ?Louie Louie? and ?Light My Fire?, she really does pull it off! Of course, this was one of those harebrained schemes by late-?60s record executives to increase her sales by having her tackle "the now sound," but arranger Tommy Oliver and Julie?who could have been insulted by having to sing the title track alone?bring an adult sophistication to even the cheesiest of fare. As a result, record collectors of ?60s lounge music have a very, very special place in their hearts for this 1969 album, and we proudly reissue it here on CD with original art and new liner notes.
