The most sensual singer in the history of jazz, Julie London's risqué album covers were as much a part of her legend as her sultry and husky vocals. As many of her albums, London by Night puts together songs that tell a story. The standards and original tunes on the disc are strung together in such a way that they form a narrative of a lovelorn woman finding true love, getting dumped, and wandering around sadly until finding romantic redemption in the final song.
