It’s very strange for her to say she didn’t like her voice. What? Such an iconic voice. One of the best singers I’ve ever heard. She had the whole package with no baggage. Thank you for sharing this. Love Julie!

There are several little clips in here that I wish we could see the full length of. I know she appeared-and sang-on television a number of times from the mid fifties to the early seventies, but only a handful of them are available to watch on youtube or otherwise. Obviously they still exist, but they just haven't been made available. It's a terrible shame, because I'd love to be able to see and hear more of her bluer, smokier performances from her later years. She really is such an overlooked artist.

A beautiful person with a spellbounding husky voice, lingering as a haunting melody for millions around the world! A fan and an admirer from Pakistan!

I think she was the best female singer of the 50s. I think she outsung Connie Francis, Patti Page and Joni James. You just couldn't touch her sultry, smokey voice that always hit all the notes. So smooth.

I also say she had the best voice - but it is hard to say that her voice is better than Doris Day! Listen to Doris Day's version of Sentimental Journey vs Julie London's. Doris wins. But on Invitation To the Blues, Julie wins. But it is really too close to say there is a decisive winner. I am just bothered that you didn't even mention Doris Day in your message. That's a huge omision. Doris Day was the #1 female vocalist by sales in the 50's (more than Elvis) And both sang very sexy and intimate. You are forced to compare the two. I agree Julie is better than Connie and Patti. But Doris? not so sure

Julie actually lived on a hillside in a pretty house in Sherman Oaks. They said North Hollywood to keep fans away. Her most poignant, telling moment is her acting cameo in The Great Man, with Jose Ferrer, which is on KZitem. It is unforgettable. Her song No Moon At All is my favorite.

Singing means expressing your human self in your actual body as the instrument which automatically exposes audiences, so there’s nowhere to hide!!! People will always be critical of that so strength and resilience is necessary to stay in the business. I actually smiled when Julie was spending more time with her family, as she could literally sing her grandchildren to sleep-it would all be part of the caring process rather than just something done professionally, although clubs enabled her to witness the social aspect so she can keep expressing herself as a person and take in the atmosphere. Singing can occur in many different areas particularly therapeutically 😊

May I have my say. Julie London was really quite a peach in the 40's, judging from her early movies like the Red House. Even in her cameo, singing that world-hit "Cry me a river" from 'The girl can't help it", Julie was a knockout both in looks and voice. Yes, her voice was unique in that it was husky and deep, but she can never be compared to the World's Best Ms. Connie Francis, who, even to this day, remains unbeatable. No female singer ever sang more from the heart than Connie did. Joni James iconic number was "There must be a way" which one can never tire of. In regard to Patti Page, I loved her numbers 'In old Cape Cord", Boy's night out. In the movies, Julie London was most impressive in the controversial hit "Night of the quarter moon" dealing with racial discrimination. In the 60's, she began to look thin and wan.

Funny that both my grandpa and I are both fans but for completely different reasons. By the time I came around, she was Nurse McCall. No idea she was a singer he never saw Emergency.
