Julie London (née Peck; September 26, 1926 –
October 18, 2000) was an American singer and actress whose career spanned more
than 40 years. A torch singer noted for her sultry, languid contralto vocals, 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. In addition to her musical
notice, London was nominated for a Golden
Globe Award in 1974 for her portrayal of nurse
Dixie McCall in the television series Emergency!.
Born in Santa
Rosa, California to vaudevillian parents, London was discovered while working as an elevator operator
in downtown Los Angeles, and began her career as an actress. London's 35-year
acting career began in film in 1944, and included roles as the female lead in
numerous westerns,
co-starring with Rock Hudson in The
Fat Man (1951), with Robert
Taylor and John Cassavetes in Saddle the Wind (1958), and opposite Robert
Mitchum in The Wonderful Country (1959).
In the mid-1950s, she signed a recording
contract with the newly established Liberty
Records, marking the beginning of her professional
musical career. She released her final studio album in 1969, but achieved
continuing success playing the female starring role of nurse Dixie McCall, in
the television series Emergency! (1972–1979), in which she appeared
opposite her real-life husband, Bobby
Troup. The show was produced by her ex-husband, Jack Webb.
A
shy and introverted woman, London rarely granted interviews, and spent the
remainder of her life out of the public sphere. In 1995,
she suffered a stroke, which
left her with permanent health problems. In 1999, she was diagnosed with lung cancer,
but forewent treatment due to her already compromised physical state. She died
of cardiac arrest the following year in Los Angeles, aged 74.
Julie...At Home is an LP album by Julie London,
released by Liberty Records under catalog number LRP-3152 as a monophonic recording in 1960,
and later in stereo under catalog number LST-7152 the same year.
You stepped out of a
dream
You are too wonderful to be what you seem
Could there be eyes like yours
Could there be lips like yours
Could there be smiles like yours
Honest and truly?
You stepped out of a cloud
I want to take you away, away from the crowd
And have you all to myself
Alone and apart out of a dream
Safe in my heart
You stepped out of a dream
You are too wonderful to be what you seem
Could there be eyes like yours
Could there be lips like yours
Could there be smiles like yours
Honest and truly?
You stepped out of a cloud
I want to take you away, away from the crowd
And have you all to myself
Alone and apart out of a dream
Safe in my heart.
