TUNES – 75
Posted on | July 23, 2009 | Comments Off on 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.
- Cry Me A River (of course)
- Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man (sultry, and makes me think of Ava Gardner)
- It Never Entered My Mind
- Easy Street (“When opportunity comes knockin’, you just keep on with your rockin'”)
- No Moon At All
- How Long Has This Been Going On
- Goody Goody (I had a friend whose 76 year-old mother used to sing this all the time, and she’d bounce her shoulders. So cute)
- The One I Love (this is one I actually prefer done by Doris Day)
- Warm December
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.
