Julie London Birthday – Julie London was born on September 26, 1926 in Santa Rosa, California, USA. Her family was musical, and she began singing and playing the piano as a child.
She got her start in music by performing in nightclubs in Los Angeles in the early 1940s. In 1955, she signed a recording contract with Liberty Records and released her debut album, “Julie Is Her Name,” which included her hit recording of “Cry Me a River.” London’s sultry, intimate singing style made her one of the most popular and successful female vocalists of the 1950s and 1960s. She also had a successful acting career in films and television, including her role as nurse Dixie McCall in the TV series “Emergency!” London died on October 18, 2000 at the age of 74.
The Birth Day of Julie London’s son
In 1959, Julie London was pregnant with her second child and went into labor while at home. She called her husband, jazz musician Bobby Troup, who rushed home to take her to the hospital. However, due to heavy traffic, they were stuck in a gridlock and could not get to the hospital in time.
Desperate for help, Troup spotted a fire station and pulled in to ask for assistance. The firefighters on duty quickly sprang into action and helped Julie deliver her baby in the back of their station wagon, which they had converted into an emergency vehicle.
The baby, a boy named Kelly Troup, was born healthy and the story of his dramatic birth made headlines in newspapers across the country. Julie London later thanked the firefighters for their quick thinking and assistance, and Kelly Troup went on to become a successful musician and composer.
