What a Songstress Julie London

I'd heard "Cry Me A River" when I was much younger and never fully appreciated it. I suppose the "torch" style of song was over my head at the time. I was driving one day last year and "Cry Me A River" came on the radio, and I immediately said, "who is this?" I'm always listening for the the sound of a beautiful female voice. I said to myself that here was a special and exceptional song stylist, and made a note to check out more of Julie London's music. As I got into listening to her discography, I realized that she was simply, simply great! Very Special! For me, she has become the definitive torch singer and sings the torch song like no other. I know that's only my opinion! I even feel now that her talent is under-appreciated for just how great it was. Her tone, inflection, phrasing, emotion, sensuousness, all I can say is Wow! If you're not fully aware of her greatness, please do yourself a favor and listen, or listen again. Song, after song, after song... Many, many, great ones to enjoy, many of them Standards.
