Julie London byla americká zpěvačka a herečka, jejíž kariéra trvala přes 40 let. Jako torch singer proslula kontraltovým hlasem a mezi lety 1955 a 1969 nahrála přes třicet alb jazzových a popových standardů.
Kompilace Very Best Of na 2 CD shromažďuje 50 jejích klasických nahrávek. První disk obsahuje mimo jiné Fly Me To The Moon, Cry Me A River, Blue Moon a Misty, druhý pak I Left My Heart In San Francisco, Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend, Light My Fire a Body And Soul. Výběr pokrývá podstatnou část Londonina repertoáru z období jejího největšího úspěchu v 50. a 60. letech, kdy patřila mezi nejvýraznější hlasy amerického jazzu.
