History
Julie London (born Julie Peck, 1926-2000) was an American singer and actress from Santa Rosa, California. Discovered while working as an elevator operator in Los Angeles, she first built a career as a film actress before turning to music in 1955, when jazz record producer Simon Waronker heard her singing in a Los Angeles club and signed her to Liberty Records. A torch singer with a distinctive, smoky contralto voice, London recorded 32 albums of pop and jazz standards between 1955 and 1969. Her debut album, "Julie Is Her Name" (1955), introduced "Cry Me a River," written by her high-school classmate Arthur Hamilton and produced by her future husband Bobby Troup; the recording became a million-seller and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001. Billboard named her the most popular female vocalist for three straight years, 1955 through 1957. She later found further fame acting alongside Troup as Nurse Dixie McCall in the TV series "Emergency!" (1972-1979), earning a Golden Globe nomination in 1974.
