Julie London (born Nancy Peck; September 26, 1926 – October 18, 2000) was an American nightclub, jazz and pop singer, film and television actress and a former pinup model, whose career spanned five decades of television. She was noted for her smoky, sensual husky voice and languid demeanor. She released 32 albums of pop and jazz standards during the 1950s and 1960s, with her signature song being the classic "Cry Me a River", which she introduced in 1955. She co starred in film noir,  The 3rd Voice (1960) with Edmund O'Brien and Lorraine Day 


Here is a clip of Julie singing her signature song from The Girl Can't Help It (1956) 

Cry Me A River

Now you say you're lonely

You cry the whole night through

Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river

I cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry

For bein' so untrue

Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river

I cried a river over you

You drove me, nearly drove me out of my head

While you never shed a tear

Remember, I remember all that you said

Told me love was too plebeian

Told me you were through with me and

Now you say you love me

Well, just to prove you do

Come on and cry me a river, cry me a river

I cried a river over you
