@gagegirl51 : I absolutely adored Julie and would never say anything degrading or disrespectful about her. If you're referring to the "lively corpse comment, I was making a mildly sarcastic reply to blinko656, who apparently was being fooled by a woman passing herself off as Julie London and thought she was still alive.
Well, again the concept has to be put in an historical context as well. This Scopitone is from 1962 - 63, so in that regard I don't think this was that bad. I mean, is Julie London singing about her 'daddy' buying her happiness at all worse than more than 20 years later in 1984 - 85 Madonna singing about being a "Material Girl" (or all those young women singers after Madonna singing about just the same kind of concepts)?
She is simply amazing! I true inspiration to me. I aspire to sing like her. I adore her classic beauty. This song is adorable. What gal doesn't like to be treated like a princess? It's always a sweet surprise when my husband treats me to something nice. ^_^
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
A woman who looks like she did isn't a golddiger, she DOES deserve the best and if a man loved her, he'd want to give it to her....he'd want to make her happy as she is promising in the song to make him....Everyone is happy in the deal, I don't know why women have to be called golddiggers.....Pry open your wallets once in awhile, guys, it won't kill you, it's only broke, unsuccessful men who complain about it...:)
Yeah,nothing wrong really, only there are many of you that by no means look like J.L., they demand in a filthy way like beggars, instead of accepting what its offered, and on the other hand in theirgirl talkthey pretend they are spontaneously treated like princesses although they are haberdashers (not that a haberdasher cant be a princess and vice versa) some,should read less cosmo & vogue, the tricks they instructing are obviously very chip.
I remember her better as Emergency Nurse Dixie McCall in the 70s TV show Emergency! Even as a middle-aged woman in that show she was still beautiful. Although I know Julie London had a successfull singing career prior to that TV show, it still seems strange to me to see nurse Dixie singing like this.
To those of us of a slightly older generation, it seemed a bit odd to see sultry torch singer Julie London playing a nurse. I kept expecting Nurse Dixie McCall to break into a chorus of "Cry Me a River." Or should that be "Find Me a Liver"?
Queasy? Is that because of the word "daddy"? "Sugar daddy" is an old slang term for a wealthy older man who showers young girls with expensive gifts with the expectation of sexual favors in return. There's no implication of incest in this song -- the girl's just an old-fashioned golddigger!
I'm a big fan of this woman - she sings like she is cooing in your ear- pure seduction and very classy! Buy her album 'All through the night' songs of Cole Porter.
It is a late night smoochy classic and a perfect seduction record.
I guess my Dad was right. He used to go see her perform at a bar somewhere in LA in the 1950's. He said the bar would be noisy as ever, but when the keyboard guy started playing, everybody shut up. Julie had a very soft voice and this video proves it to me.
Julie was somewhat self-deprecating about her vocal talents. She was quoted in Life magazine in 1957, saying, "It's only a thimbleful of a voice, and I have to use it close to the microphone. But it is a kind of oversmoked voice, and it automatically sounds intimate."
Whatever -- she was one classy, sexy lady. They just don't make 'em like that anymore.
Her voice is so sultry and seductive, every woman wished she could sing like that and wow to look like that.
I sent this to my 27 year old son, and he said he wished girls today would dress that classy and act that classy. He said "Girls today they show everything all the time and there's nothing to wonder about. There it is in your face, so what."
Actually, the idea of "sexism" that you refer to didn't even exist at the time of this video. This video is from the wonderful days of the 1950-60s...before the feminists in the 1980s created our current ideas of the term "sexism". It was a time without the tyranny of political correctness.
That is optimistic, siroptimistic. And racism didn't exist before the civil rights movement ;)
Also, Gm's right - the feminists you're thinking of were the 60s and 70s, not the 80s. They were were probably watching this clip when they coined the term sexist.
My complaint is the music - I hate this genre - it's like everyone's on heavy tranquilizers and about to slip into a light coma. The patient is sluggish and unresponsive, start an IVD5W TKO, Dix.
Pro...I'm referring to feminist thought which really didn't become mainstream and part of popular culture until the 1980s, although I agree that it had its beginnings in the 1960/70s. When I was in high school and then college during the 1970s, one rarely heard any feminist dogma or ideas of political correctness. It became popular in the 1980s. And yes, this music is quite relaxed and laid-back, but a nice change from 'heavier' music. I have a Julie London hits CD which I enjoy occasionally.
It's so cool hearing her sing a song written by Bobby Troup-who would later become her husband. She w/ that wonderfully inviting voice & he with his incredible abilities for composition (along w/a saintly personality).
I still have a recording of my own father having been forced to sing part of this song [falsetto] while playing with Jerry Wald's band back in 1941 at the Carousel on S. Catalina Is. Dad played trumpet & would never have volunteered for such role! ;-)
she looks more bored than sultry to me. But it's interesting ppl still find these women sexy, and they're wearing 10x the fabric of today's teen starlets.
I dont think she looks bored, more underlying wry humour i think! - a humorous archness.
Incidentally she was very modest, not rating herself much but admitting a "certain husky quality, but i have to get close to the mike". We know better! - Julie was a true great.
This song was written by the very talented Bobby Troupe who was also Julies hubby.I knew them well great friends superior talents. Im not sure if troup has an e on the end {I should know this shouldnt I!}
Julie London isi not only my favorite but she is my inspiration, I love her, and that's saying something for a 16 year old. This is one of my favorite songs
Fantastic! I love it! Julie you never looked more better in your life. I would estimate this was from 1966-1967, based on the hairstyles and fashions.
The sound is very muffled. Why post that bad quality?
