Julie London was \"discovered\" while running a department store elevator in Hollywood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust three years earlier the bountiful 15 year old, born Julie Peck to her parents, a song-and-dance duo of the vaudeville era, was singing on her parents' radio show. When she started working in the movies in the 1940s, she changed her name to London. During the course of a celebrated career in acting and music, she made more than 30 albums.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sultry-voiced actress, who was once married to \"Dragnet\" producer-star Jack Webb, had a hit record with the 1950s single \"Cry Me a River.\" The single debuted in 1955, sold three million copies and remained in demand into the 1960s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnalogue Productions has brought back Julie London sings Latin In A Satin Mood in dramatic, deserving fashion. Remastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio, and plated and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings, the crispness and vibrancy of this recording is spectacular.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExotic and Latin albums were big deals in the 1950s and early '60s, and singers as diverse as Dean Martin, Lena Horne, and Peggy Lee were recording with castanets and bongo drums. Like Peggy Lee, London combines a restrained vocal approach with jazz phrasing and a cool attitude with icy sex appeal on this album of relaxing Latin standards. Julie does look beautiful on the cover, and the backup male \"mariachi-esque\" serenade ads to the romantic ambiance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpeaking of the cover, expect only top-notch reproduction for our Analogue Productions reissue. Originally a single LP jacket, we've upgraded to a gatefold incorporating more original photographs provided by Universal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLondon appeared in nearly two dozen motion pictures during the 1940s and '50s; she was best known to TV audiences as nurse Dixie McCall on the 1970s hospital drama \"Emergency!\" She was hired on \"Emergency!\" by Webb, her then-former spouse, to co-star with her second husband, jazz musician Bobby Troup. Troup, who composed the iconic musical hit \"Route 66\" played a doctor on the show and it was he who helped sign Julie to the Liberty record label.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDescribing her smoky vocal style, London once said, \"It's only a thimbleful of a voice, and I have to use it close to a microphone. But it is a kind of over-smoked voice, and it automatically sounds intimate.\" A style inimitable, in our estimation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Side 1\u003cbr\u003e 1.
