My Take
Julie London is the kind of artist I wish more young listeners knew. Her contralto on Cry Me a River doesn't shout for attention; it draws you in, intimate and smoky, and it hasn't aged a day. A torch singer and actress who worked for over four decades, she earned a Hollywood star and a Grammy Hall of Fame induction without ever overselling herself. That restraint is exactly what I admire. She passed in 2000, but her recordings remain a masterclass in saying more with less, and I return to them often.
