Julie London was an American actress, singer, and recording artist. Born on September 26, 1926 in Santa Rosa, California, she began her career as an actress in the 1940s. After marrying actor Jack Webb, she took a break from acting but eventually transitioned into a successful jazz/pop singer under the guidance of Bobby Troup, whom she later married. London left her film career to focus on singing full-time and recorded her last studio album in 1969. She also starred alongside Troup in the TV series "Emergency!" for several years.

Throughout her career, Julie London's smooth vocals captivated audiences with their jazz-infused style. Her talent as both an actress and singer allowed her to leave a lasting impact on the entertainment industry. Although she passed away on October 18, 2000 at the age of 74 in Encino (Los Angeles), California, her legacy lives on through her timeless music.

If you enjoy artists such as Blossom Dearie, Dinah Washington or Nancy Wilson among others who possess a similar musical style and appeal, then Julie London's music is sure to resonate with you.

A torch singer noted for her sultry, languid contralto vocals, Julie London recorded over thirty albums of pop and jazz standards between 1955 and 1969 Her recording of "Cry Me a River", a track she introduced on her debut album, was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001. London's album Sings Latin in a Satin Mood fits within the exotic/Latin music genre, which was highly popular in the 1950s and early '60s (singers as diverse as Dean Martin, Lena Horne, and Peggy Lee all released records in this style). Considered one of the best Latin albums sung in English, this LP clearly demonstrates how London combined a restrained vocal approach with jazz phrasing and a cool attitude with icy sex appeal. The original LP is presented here in a limited 180-gram vinyl edition with its original cover art. J
