TUNES - 75

I finally got the Radio.Blog files transfered, and I was wondering what music to feature next. After my Doris Day post, where I mentioned Julie London, I got a comment on Facebook about a schoolboy crush on Nurse Dixie from "Emergency"*. So, for you and your little boy crush, here is some Julie London.

Some of my faves:


I love how spare the arrangements are on the "Her Name is Julie" albums, it really allows her voice to shine. The last two songs are from separate compilation albums.

* BTW: Did you know that Dr Early was her real-life husband, Bobby Troup? And that he wrote the Nat King Cole hit "Route 66"? Just thought I'd share.

P.S. The difference in her appearance between Volume 1 and Volume 2 of this album is one of the strongest anti-smoking arguments to be made.
