Julie London - Around Midnight

[emichh4]

perfecto!

[JoggingOnTheMoon]

jesus christ can't anybody listen to an old recording on youtube these days without lamenting on how he/she was born too late? this is here and now lol. pick out the good stuff and make the best of it. by the way, this woman had the sexiest vocals of all time. ella fitz, sara vaughan, she leaves em all in the dust... nobody comes close.

[Joypa47]

Wow. Just the best.

[63Soulsister]

I hate nappies as well,should av went to spacsaffers

[hoggzski]

I hate hippies

[LoquaciousInkSlinger]

@hoggzski Aw, c'mon. Let's all try to spread the love here. After all-- "all you need is love!" Peace and love, friend. ;)

[KASHETCHUMFOOTWORK]

This gives me goosebumps... absolutely beautiful.

[artielon]

One of my J.L. favorites. Iespecially like the descending low notes "..at midnight".

[Quazyqat]

Just leaves you speechless!!!

[NYCBG]

Julie had such a jazzy streak. Too bad she is not remembered for it. Exceptional (despite the cheesy arrangement)!

[themadaboutmusic]

@NYCBG Well, let's say that Julie is ....more versatile.....than just a jazz singer.

Her talent is ways beyond the scope of one genre.

There're a long lists of great jazz singers, but a very short lists of all-rounders like Julie London.

[marchfishka]

Beautiful version!

[watcher05er]

me, too......

[gubbyitss]

I love her singing, as always, but I'm not too keen on the orchestra. It's the best version I've heard sung. Ella Fitzgerald plays around with it too much.

[meef555]

julie london i would have married you in a previous life

[quickshot06]

JL

is the best. I have enjoyed her music 45 years. Robert

[scotnick59]

An extremelyexcellent but stangely little-known recording!

[tabholowka]

what key is this in?

[gayhax]

@tabholowka I could be wrong, but I think it's in G-flat major

[mikisjazz]

When I sang and played (on guitar) this song at an open mic a while back, a guy (a bass player for another band) came up and complimented me by saying "I love your voice! Sounded like Julie London..." So I was curious what she really sounded like.  Men, I'm really flattered!! She sounds great! She's very straight forward and subtle but her sensual voice carries a lot of nuances...

Thanks for posting this.

[shirrababe1]

its excatly how i feel around midnight ..about the man i've lost.

[honeybee7700]

@shirrababe1 I feel exactly the same way never knew such pain..

[welovetwhen]

I should like to be with my loved one now please. This song ids d for my hubby:) Enjoy your evening and cafe` set:)

[ziomekjakzloto]

remember julie, remember miles.

[jorgeluisgilsanchez]

Al oir esta cancion, con la luz apagada... estas mas que cerca.

[filerouge]

mi emoziona in tutte le versioni...fantastica!!

[alliecat1941]

She was a heavy smoker .which made her voice like it was. kind of raspy

[Whisperingtothefire]

@alliecat1941 even tho its bad to smoke..............it still sounds AMAZING!

[alliecat1941]

she was quoted as 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."

[mousen]

Beautiful song

[darthom]

It is difficult to believe but, in her day, Julie was better loved and had wider appeal than Marilyn Monroe. What happened? Marilyn died tragically and left a beautiful corpse.

[lausanne67]

nauort23, Agree totally with your comments about the differences between the generations. Freedom masquerading as selfishness,

[cpf41]

I remember this tune from back in the day. Gee that was a LONG time ago

[Blackaroha]

Pure class

[Odys75]

Gorgeous !

[teazle2]

Travel on then, but listen to real talent first instead of moaning about yourself !!

[foreverashcroft]

i adore this song..

[comicfan69]

I love the way she makes this song just so sultry. Beautiful.

[JazziJBC]

jazz? no dope no souL!

[jra07e]

the title is " 'round midnight " but a great version of monk's tune

[AshLynnisgrreat]

I really really like jazz. :]

Growing up around New Orleans helps I guess. :]

And I'm not an adult either.

[BlondexBunny333]

haha me too. im barely 16 and aside from black metal, jazz is my favourite genre. i wish i could sing it lol.

[RolfTheDog69]

You are forgetting 1 essential ingredient of that era: Prop-driven airliners, Short Sunderland and Boeing Clipper flying boats.

[ThaBlackN1gga]

I love this music, BRING BACK MUSIC BEFORE THE DRUGS CORRUPTED SOCIETY!

[djboony]

@ThaBlackN1gga jazz is almost synonomous with heroin, if you dont like drugs throw away your record collection...

[ThaBlackN1gga]

Your gonna defend drugs?

You fiends truly do deserve the title as less than human beings.

[djboony]

@ThaBlackN1gga

nice idea adolf! hose "them" down put "them" in camps, is that the idea?

[ThaBlackN1gga]

Nope you mentioned it first.

So you tell me drug addict.

[djboony]

@ThaBlackN1gga

hey man why so square? everyones addicted to something...

[ThaBlackN1gga]

So your children suffer cuz you choose addiction over health?

[djboony]

@ThaBlackN1gga

i got no strings holding me down, ive got no addiction either im just a fellow traveller.

[alexander4200]

@ThaBlackN1gga look up your history, drugs use is ages old, friend

[misadiegolo]

I was born in 68. I grew up loving rock and roll and heavy metal. Now at 41 this is were it is at. I still love metal/rock and the "hair bands" of past but this is where its at. Sorry Judas Priest, You do have to be old(er) to be wise. You can always rock though. Julie London is the sexiest woman to ever walk the planet. Really loving the jazz scene now.

[Willowmoon11]

i just love this - reminds me of when i was a child and my dad played jazz and blues. its embedded in my soul x

[ekim53]

This makes my leg tingle... bring back some good music...please...

[Drunkz101]

I was definitely born in the wrong era....

[nauort23]

I know what you mean. I was definitely born in the right era (1964)... it seems that the era ended before I could walk!!

[Drunkz101]

@nauort23 well personally i think the greatest era of sensible people (for the most part anyways) is around the 1920-1950's. The Great Depression sucks of course, but still for the most part of what I hate about this era was amazing during that era. Just a personal opinion of course.

[nauort23]

My parents were born 1922-3, and yes, they're very sensible. They don't challenge/question much, especially when it's coming from priests or doctors or the nightly news..., but most of their generation are all very sensible with money; they all write beautifully (in terms of grammar, vocabulary & penmanship); they're generally better mannered and they definitely grew up with the best popular music: jazz, showtunes, swing, lounge, etc.... Just my opinion, of course!

[larryglass61]

@nauort23 I see it the same as you. i like your opinion.

[nauort23]

Thanks. There's not very much new music (that I like, anyway) for adults these days, so I'm glad we have YouTube for this stuff.

[teazle2]

@nauort23 You are dead right old son. Mine too. But due to age i still write with a fountain pen and ink AND I've a collection of jazz, song, and some others. I love them all. But too damn sal that there's almost no one to replace those greats. Duke, Count, Getz, Parker, Le Grand, et al It's a different time BUT Thank God we can still collect, play and love their stuff. - david

[Tommyfazz]

@nauort23 ...sounds like your parent's were responsible for the second world war...just a fact in my opinion.

[nauort23]

@Tommyfazz Considering they were still in grade school when Hitler rose to power, I'd say your opinion is fairly unsound--and certainly not factual. They definitely brought WWII to an end, though. Thanks for giving them credit.

[kiwicafe]

@nauort23 . . . beautifully said and right on the money, thanx or as your parents would have said, "our sincere thanks", :)

[sizzlinfr]

Haha

[ertreri]

at least you are still alive.

[curmudgeonNOT]

@Drunkz101 -- I wasn't. Now 72, I was in college when Julie was singing, "Cry Me a River". Damn . . . fell in love with Julie and Ella, fell in lust with Eartha and Lena.

[Tommyfazz]

@Drunkz101 ...yet another stupid comment.

[Drunkz101]

@Tommyfazz I agree your comment is pretty stupid. also way to post a fucking year later you tard.

[Whisperingtothefire]

@Drunkz101 so was i D:

[Whisperingtothefire]

@Drunkz101 you and me both .

[MrAmandeepsodhi]

[classicalgirl01]
