My god, nobody should be so talented and so beautiful at the same time! They should at least have the good grace to be ugly, like footballers or rock stars...
This is how someone can be sexy without being tacky. Sensual without being crass. Intimate without being vulgar.
Julie London's voice combined with her unique phrasing of lyrics and her wonderful delivery estabished her one as of the most memorable female singers of the 1950's. There was a cool boho chic/jazz aura about her. She wasn't a loud belter, nor did she need to hit every note and octave known to man to get her point across.
Instead she had an elegant, understated manner and use this to her advantage and this is one of her most seductive songs. The lush string arrangement on this track and her soft yearning style is a pleasure to listen to more than half a century after it's recording.......
You don't have to be a Rhodes Scholar to figure out what the lyrics mean: S.E.X. This song just oozed it, and so did Julie's smoky, intimate voice. It works!
Go slow, ooh-ooh honey,
Take it easy on the curves.
When love is slow, ooh honey,
What a tonic for my nerves!
Go slow, ooh-ooh honey,
We've got such a lot of time.
When love is slow, ooh honey,
How the mercury does climb!
I like my lovin' done gently,
So when your kissin' lips start,
Just a little here, a little there,
Sort of a la carte!
Go slow, ooh-ooh honey,
Take it easy like you should;
I like my lovin' done gently,
So when your kissin' lips start,
Just a little here, a little there,
Sort of a la carte!
Go slow, ooh-ooh honey,
Take it easy like you should;
When love is slow, ooh honey,
Then it does you so much good!
You make me feel so good,
You make me feel so good!
There seems to be a skip at 1:40, which has the first line of the last verse, then jumps back to the bridge. It doesn't sound right. Either it was mixed poorly or the person posting lifted the needle and pulled it back a few grooves. Too bad.
