I concur with Mcrosier regarding Julie London's recordings. I have 12 of her lp's and essentially all are heavily laced with her sensual singing. Another contender from that era is Abbe Lane with "Lady in Red" and "Where There's a Man."
In more modern times, Charlotte Gainsbourg's "5:55" has multiple songs that are sung in a provocatively breathless manner.
