Julie London - Yummy Yummy Yummy (out of bubblegum remix)

[@bigbadbuckinboots]

When you began this Julie London adventure, I began reading about her on Wikipedia. I knew she was a singer, but I was unfamiliar with her work (though I do remember watching her on television on her show EMERGENCY! in the 1970s), and I saw her final album with Liberty Records, "Yummy Yummy Yummy", and I assumed you wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. I'm glad that I was wrong. I love what you did with this song!

Actually, Yummy was her first song where I really took notice and an interest in her! When my interest in easy listening and exotica started, I was collecting the book series REsearch, which eventually did this "Incredibly Strange Music" book, where collectors talked about their favourite records. It was The Cramps who actually mentioned Julie for her "vapourising" vocals and the downright lewd interpretation of Yummy. I head heard some of her songs here and there and liked them, but thanks to The Cramps, I decided to dig deeper on her. I did two more songs from that album, but decided to drop one of them for now. Strangely enough: My favourite mixes so far (Mood for love & round midnight) are flopping hard with the views.

@@stellaVista I didn't really know her from Fly Me to the Moon until she had passed. Once a year the New York Times does this mass obituary of folks who passed in the previous calendar year and she was on it and I read her bio there and then on a couple of other places and was instantly intrigued - I liked her self-deprecatory comment about her voice. I doubt it would fit the current project but her take on "I Want You For Christmas" is adjacent to Yummy Yummy Yummy for cranking the sultriness.

@@TheRegularjoe1365 The project has currently 14 tracks. I did a new one today and decided to kick two mixes after this and "your" inspiration made the cut..maybe I have to look into the xmas song for a bonus...we`ll see.
