Matt Monro Forum

...is profiled next week on THE LEGENDS series BBC TV FOUR.

Weather permitting, I will try and catch this. Love her husky and almost breathless way of singing the standards.

jUST WATCHED THE JULIE LONDON DOCUMENTARY AND REALLY ENJOYED IT. HAVEN'T GOT ANY OF HER RECORDS BUT MAY BUY ONE OR TWO NOW.

We taped it as we watched it , which was just as well because I dosed off ( not intentionally I have to say) as she was singing "Cry Me A River" and she was still singing "Cry Me A River" when I woke up. half an hour later.

It is a rather long song

I have just listened to Cry Me A River on my i-pod, it was heavenly.
What a terrific song, sang so very well by Julie London.

Cry Me A River is the song always associated with the attractive Julie London Gray, she made some other good recordings too.

I think it is a shame that most people only know Julie London from "Cry me a river" [one oif my least favourite songs ever] She actually made so many other great recordings.

Yes she did Marian, she made loads of records - I have a few.

Can anyone recommend some tracks, please?

Thank you!

Gray start with a Best Of and take it from there.

I have a couple of 2 cds oin one, which are also good value. Plus a lot of nice tracks.

Her best is The Thrill Is Gone. I also love You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To. Actually I've never heard her sing a bad note or a bad song.

Thanks everyone, I shall make some investments!

Gray you prompted me to search for my Julie London cd's I thought I had a 3 cd set similar to Peggy Lee & Bobby Darin but it's not there, I wil have another look tomorrow.
