[deberns]

November 1963 Julie sang at the Outrigger Inn St. Petersburg FL.

[edwardconway27]

julie is great, but doris day is the best

[more2debra]

Love JL so Much had to use a song for my slide-show and think Nice Girls Don't Stay For Breakast was a good choice. I will attach.

[blinkie7]

The Randys do this song justice!

[silentevil77]

1 dislike...Well someone must have just hit the wrong button.

[LIN11831]

these were great songs to dance to, and we did many times when the bug bands traveled by bus to dancehalls.

[skipper8257]

Julie is just an amazing singer but if you have never heard the Lennon Sisters version of this song it is simply amazing.

[nocysfinest4ever]

i love julie!!

[SmoothOperator3769]

Guitar almost hints a feelin' of a reggae feel developing. ;) Beautiful sound.

[Lunabeezy05]

a perfect song to listen to on sunday morning <3 <3 <3

[tonyf734atl]

This is a real "gem" of Julie's...one of her "best" performances...

[MrGigawattz]

"Her days are over beginning tonight!"

That's sexy!

[zach0050]

holy shit ur rite lol.. i just checked it out

[RatPatrole]

Don't you just love her at 1:56 when she says:

"Your lips belong to me alone"

Drives you up a wall!

[RatPatrole]

That voice would sound so good on the Delco radio of a 59 Chevy Impala with a rear speaker and "reverb" feature!

[zach0050]

This stuff reminds me of the doors. Pretty groovy.

[The4Horsemen7Angels]

@zach0050 Did you know she did a cover of Light My Fire? I just heard it last night.

[zach0050]

this stuff reminds me of the doors... pretty groovy

[zach0050]

this stuff reminds me of the doors... pretty groovy

[nosenipples]

This is her singing? Sounds kind of mannish...

[The4Horsemen7Angels]

@nosenipples lol

[palomitajcbV]

@nosenipples mannish? are you a man or a woman..? that's the primary question

[smoogirl]

@palomitajcbV With a name like 'nosenipples' how can you possibly enquire such a question xD?

[palomitajcbV]

@smoogirl you got it wrong smoog..my name is not nose or nipples..it's palomita..get it right as to whom you are replying to.

[MrLopezsMusicLounge]

@nosenipples - it sounds "mannish" because the track is being played at the wrong speed - its dragging like dying batteries in an old-school Walkman. One can easily find this track in its proper speed. The uploader needs to take this shit down.

[ThePlainzryder]

@MrLopezsMusicLounge

I think you need to check out the time on the record. 2:35 is bang on! She was a heavy smoker, that's where the voice came from.

[MrLopezsMusicLounge]

@ThePlainzryder you're wrong. The original album & ''45 does not say 2:35,which doesn't account for almost 10 seconds of dead air at the beginning of this clip. The time is 2:21. I have the original record of "The Wonderful World of Julie London" (from where this song is taken) as well as the 2007 & 2010 CD releases of it. Julie was a heavy smoker yes, but she never soundes remotely like this even up to her last album. The speed of the song has been tampered with.

[MrLopezsMusicLounge]

@ThePlainzryder - you can sample this track at its proper speed on amazon by looking up the 2007 2-fer -

"The End Of The World/The Wonderful World of Julie London"

this particular version of "I'm Coming Back to You" is taken from a European album from the mid-late '90s titled "Swing Me an Old Song" that featured some of Julie's Hits. A number of the tracks are played at about 1/4 of their proper speed.

[ian3150]

well it sounds the same to me. the song was released in australia in 1964 on a single......made the top 40 charts for only a few weeks . still love the song.

[moosatious]

Well, I'm pretty good at remembering musical themes in their original key (I can hit a key on pitch this way), and this one was and remains in Ab Major. A slowed down turn table would have changed it. Things of course can be slowed down digitally with modest equipment (I beleive a Tascam DR-1 will even do it). One possibility as that there were multiple takes recorded, and that she sang it at different tempos. But this is pretty close to my memory from 1963

[moosatious]

No, sounds perfect to me. Same tempo as I remember, and pitch wise-- still in the key of A flat Major as it always was (that the four flats in the key signature).

[mrlopez2681]

no -it REALLY IS slowed down. This track is from the album "The Wonderful World of Julie London", which has been re-released on CD. I also have the original LP. Look up the CD on amazon & sample this track (its on a 2-fer w/ "The End Of the World"). The person that uploaded this took the track from a 1993 Belgian compilation CD titlted "Swing Me An Old Song". For some reason this CD offers a few tracks in oddly slowed-down forms.

[mrlopez2681]

sorry - check amazon UK. You'll find a sample of "I'm Coming back To You" under "The End Of The World/The Wonderful World Of Julie London" in proper speed & pitch.

[moosatious]

I don't see any samples on Amazon. In any case are you saying it should be in the4 key of A Major? or Bb? (You can determine this with almost any musical instrument) I think this would drive me nuts if it were in the wrong key. A slight change in pitch would throw it clear across the circle of fifths (A major is 3 #s)

[moosatious]

I forgot to mention, I was was referring to the year 1962-63 in my previous post. Dick Butkus, although I never saw him outside that one class (he was just there for that once class he told me), was super cool too. Also, that the song is in the key of Ab major (4 flats in the key signature). Julie's "low" voice really made the song a hit, I think. But if you think she has a low voice, ha! Do a Search on "Dame Clara Butt" Sir Thomas Beecham once said she could be heard clear across E Channel

[mrlopez2681]

This song needs to be re-uploaded - did you notice that it is slowed down?

[moosatious]

This was one of my fav songs in high school. It was even played on "rock" stations in Chicago. Listened to it while I was wiring up my sci fair project-- a flying spot scanner. Who else was in my electronics class at CVS (Dick Butkus had been in my Geometry class the year before)? A kid named Tommy Campana. I never did much in later years in the way of technology, but Tommy went on to invent Blackberry technology. His widow is now worth about a billion. Was a super nice guy. I really liked him.

[shiksasofia]

on this particular song I have to say(sorry guys)that she has waay too dark voice...almost sounds like a man..

but only on this song!

anyways,she's great :)

[maggie2go]

She sounded very much like Diana Krall here....Do you think Diana Krall sounds too much like a man?

[RatPatrole]

@maggie2go

I'm glad you mentioned Diana Krall. I see a lot of similarity between the two women. I was a tad too young to remember Julie London, but I do (now) love her songs. I think that kind of song will make a comeback. The 50's and 60's are there forever. I'm from canada, we have two great singers who have revived a lot of 1950's songs. Michel Bublé and Diana Krall have done a great job. .

[chezfun]

My favorite Julie London song, thanks!

[robsim703]

Wonderful song--it made the charts in many places--one of her best sellers.

[GirTheMuffinPiggy]

Beatiful lady~

[thesparklingdiva16]

Thanks for posting this. It's hard to find good photos of this gorgeous woman

[mrlopez2681]

this song is actually taken from her 1963 album "The Wonderful World of Julie London" - its the first track!

[ulaman1971]

They just don't make Women like this anymore

[npenciso]

I adore her sexy voice!

[skelton39]

I just looked at the other posts. I can answer my own question. She was on Emergency...and I had no idea she was a singer. Thanks for posting and bringing it to light for us who didn't know.

[skelton39]

did she play a nurse on the tv show Emergency?

[fugoy]

Yes, she did !

[billbloodma]

push i v start lacttate ringers and transport. kgm 3 6 5

[scotpens]

Huh? . . . Oh, right!

Sexiest nurse on television!

[elvishongsp]

beautiful song, beautiful lady.

where can I get lyrics of this song?

[VINYLFREAK4]

One of the Greatest Female Singers in the World!

Nuff Said!

[gussivalli]

good song, not packing my suitcase...lol,,just easy listening..

[jilly9]

what producer double-tracked JULIE LONDON?????

[scotpens]

This bland Muzak-ish pop tune, with sugary backing vocals and Julie's singing double-tracked, hardly shows off her voice to its best advantage. Check out the clip of her singing "Bye Bye Blackbird" accompanied only by stand-up bass, or her signature rendition of "Cry Me a River." That's the real Julie.

[moosatious]

Moon River is simple too-- I know because I play it on my clarinet as a street musician. Yet, there is just something magical about that tune. The way people react to it is just amazing. To me, this tune has a similar magical quality. I remember it being played on the radio all the time back in '63 when I was in high school. I loved it then and I love it now-- even though my tastes have since broadened to include Bruckner, Mahler, Schoenberg, and Alban Berg.

[Neviary]

I'm looking for a song of her calling "must be catchin" or something like that do anybody has it...thx

[wilipetteri]

sexsiest voice in the world five stars!

[whispperson]

I Like This Catchy Song

[johnnyboyke]

me to , this song is great and Julie sings it perfect !

[fruitySpirit]

Ohhhhh honey, you have some problems yourself if you can't realize the beauty of her voice. She was simply amazing.

[lucinda2005]

Julie, You are so beautiful. this makes me smile. sweet.

[artielon]

Awesome voice - Awesome beauty - Awesome class!

[wietoe]

i'm looking for the song ' a song for you' can someone tell me where i can find it?

thank u!

[aneteh]

a song for you has been sung by michael buble and christina aguilera so you can search the song with theirs names, it's sure to show results

[wietoe]

thank you!!!

[Pingeroo]

I should also clarify that "I'm Coming Back to You" was originally released in 1963 on "The Wonderful World of Julie London".

[Pingeroo]

"Swing Me an Old Song" was the name of an album London recorded in 1959. It was also used as the title of a 1996 European compilation, which is from where the version heard here is pulled. However, the track was dubbed at the wrong speed. It is available at the correct speed on "The End of the World"/"The Wonderful World of Julie London", a Britain-issued 2-in-1 CD.

[1singlet]

I've just discovered who she is. I've heard a few excellent arrangements.

[siamdesperado]

Julie London... the Jessica Simpson of her day...

[Liiiam]

You're a retard

[siamdesperado]

Sorry... did not mean to offend jessica Simpson.

[MidnightMinstrel]

One of my biggest regrets is that I left it so late to discover this wonderful soulful lady, I feel I have missed out on so much. How she passed me by I'll never Know. My wife has just bought me the combined CD "Her Name is Julie"/"Lonely Girl" for Christmas, I havn't stopped playing it since!

[mettanc]

oh i love this....never heard this by her... 5 stars!

[edmind]

Great!!!

[lffit]

Wonderful memories thank you!!

[klavers]

Fabulous singer and beautiful actress.
