Contents

This Julie London album is commonly mistaken to be entitled "The Good Life", due to mistitling on the album jacket's spine. This error happened again on her 1964 self-titled album "Julie London", when it was mistitled as "You Don't Have to Be a Baby to Cry/Wives and Lovers" on the album jacket's spine.

Ernie Freeman arranged and conducted the orchestra. [2]
