by
Julie London
Pop standards vocalist/actress Julie London was definitely at a transitional phase in her career when she cut Yummy, Yummy, Yummy (1969) -- the final entry in her decade-and-a-half long relationship with Liberty Records. Modern listeners will revel in the obvious kitsch factor of a middle-aged, old-school female who is crooning rock & roll. ...

Easy Rhythms for Your Cocktail Hour

by
Various Artists
As spage age bachelor pad music goes, this is among the goofiest and edgiest. This 14-song survey is heavy on two aspects of the cocktail kitsch genre: then-futuristic, now-primitive synthesizer squawks (Richard Hayman, Dick Hyman, Perrey-Kingsley) and double entendre sexual innuedos. Sometimes that double entendre was vocal, as in Julie London's ...

Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 5: Wild Cool & Swingin
(1996)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
This 18-song compilation is the showbiz-encased, Vegas-ized school of late-'50s and early-'60s pop vocals. The emphasis is certainly more on the "cool" than the wild and swinging; if it ever breaks out a sweat, there will be a martini-dipped silk handkerchief on hand to wipe it away. You get selections from Rat Packers (Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, ...

For many years most of Julie London's vast Liberty Records catalog was out of print. EMI/Capitol then flooded the market with product from the cool-toned torch singer. The Best of Julie London collection is actually better than most and features rich, digitally remastered sound. It has a classy cover and a strong song list that avoids novelty ...

Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 4: Bachelor Pad Royale
(1996)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
As the title implies, the songs on this 18-song compilation were intended for bachelors who wanted to create a suitably suave atmosphere between the mid-'50s and mid-'60s. So although the music draws from jazz (both big band and cool), lounge pop, and film/TV soundtracks, it's primarily designed to set a mood or background. That means that when it ...

Christmas Cocktails, Vol. 2 is an entertaining but unspectacular collection of classic carols performed in a lounge fashion. For connoisseurs of kitsch, it's an entertaining disc, but other listeners might find the camp a little too much to take. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Around Midnight

Julie London
In 1960, pop vocalist Julie London was really cranking out albums for the successful label Liberty Records. The success of her 1955 hit "Cry Me a River" put Liberty into overdrive and London responded by making some of the strongest records of her career. Her ability to interpret a song was at its strongest in the late '50s and early '60s, as is ...

End of the World/Nice Girls Don't Stay for Breakfast
(1997)
more music like this
by
Julie London
A good idea for a two-on-one CD, combining a pair of London's 1960s albums on one disc. The only problem is that neither album is that good, and together they don't come out as terribly exciting. Much more to the point, however, is the close, glittering sound, which puts the string section on "Call Me Irresponsible" or the organ on "Our Day WIll ...

While Rhino's Julie London roundup beats this one out for song selection, Sings the Standards still get kudos for its hefty 22 sides from the singer's prime. Mostly taken from London's '50s and '60s stretch in the spotlight, this import offers a sultry stroll through classic Tin Pan Alley terrain, from tailor-made numbers like "Diamonds Are a Girl ...

It's common practice for the British wing of EMI to release their back catalog of vocal jazz and easy listening albums of the '50s and '60s on budget-priced two-for-one compact discs. These CDs aren't aimed at the American market, but the discs are widely available throughout North America, often at the same budget price. This is good news for ...

A collection of dusky, atmospheric mood music released as a CD in 1990, Time for Love serves as a superb overview of the jazz-pop songstress in her prime. Seductive and personal interpretations of "No Moon at All," "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To," "Cry Me a River" (a major hit for her), and other classics beautifully demonstrate that, like June ...
