Julie London - Desafinado

Julie London, Desafinado.

Released: June 1963.

Billboard Peak: #127

Producer: "Snuff" Garrett.

Arranger: Ernie Freeman.

Julie London -- an artist who imparts that special "something" to a melody and lyric-to make a song memorable. And certainly, no one does quite as much for a ballad as does Julie, with her soft, sultry voice and her inimitable way of caressing a lyric line. So, have a listen while Julie sings you some of tomorrow's great standards -- a little ahead of time.

The original album is one of those classic stereo showcases, with Garrett and Freeman giving the lead instrument in the accompaniment, whether strings or organ or guitar, a very close and directional presence.


Most of the post "baby-boomers" might remember Julie as Nurse Dixie McCall from the television show "Emergency".

Julie was a great singer with a distinctive tone during the 50s-60s. Her good looks and sultry tones will surely leave an indelible mark in music history.

Notable songs by Julie: "Cry Me A River" and "Black Coffee".
Julie's version of "Black Coffee" is one of the sexiest versions ever recorded btw.. Chris
