The Mistress has always been a huge fan of Julie London. The Mistress as done many a number to her little diddy's and has several of her cd's, my favorite being the Sophisticated Lady cd set. If you like old retro and lounge music I highly recommend this cd set. It is a collection of all her best works. It's so relaxing to listen to. Julie London who has since passed on back in 2000 was a singer and a actress, and was best known for her smokey, sensual voice. As a singer she released more than 15 albums and she was at her peak in the 1950's, but her acting career lasted more than 35 years , ending with her role of nurse Dixie McCall RN on the popular show Emergency which was before my time. She also starred in more than 22 films. What a lengend!And a class act!
And this is Julie London singing one of the Mistress's favorite songs- Fly Me to the Moon!
My Mom used to listen to her, and I used to look at the album covers and think how glamorous she was in those days.
