"I remember Julie London as nurse Dixie McCall from the TV show "Emergency" when I was a kid in the 70's. WHen I started listening to jazz my mom told me about Julie singing "Cry Me a River" in the movie "The Girl Can't Help It." I bought this CD. Wow!!! I don't believe that there has EVER been a more sultry voice than Julie's. She is only accompanied by guitar and standup bass, but the musicians on the record are top notch, guitars are played by Barney Kessel and Howard Roberts. Every song on the CD is great, esp. 'Cry Me...", "No Moon at All", "Too Good to be True." I could go on, like I said--they're all good. It's worth noting that Ella Fitzgerald, herself, after recording a version of "Cry Me a River" said that it was Julie London's song and nobody did it better than her. That's a pretty high recommendation."
