Description
A torch singer noted for her sultry, languid contralto vocals, Julie London recorded over thirty albums of pop and jazz standards between
1955 and 1969. Her recording of "Cry Me a River", a track she introduced on
her debut album, was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001.
London's album Sings Latin in a Satin Mood fits within the exotic/Latin music
genre, which was highly popular in the 1950s and early '60s (singers as
diverse as Dean Martin, Lena Horne, and Peggy Lee all released records in
this style). Considered one of the best Latin albums sung in English, this
LP clearly demonstrates how London combined a restrained vocal approach with jazz phrasing and a cool attitude with icy sex appeal.
The original LP is presented here in a limited 180-gram vinyl edition with its original cover art.
JULIE LONDON vocals, ERNIE FREEMAN and His Orchestra. Los Angeles, 1962.
