Love Letters is an LP album by Julie London, released by Liberty Records under catalog number LRP-3231 as a monophonic recording and catalog number LST-7231 in stereo in 1962.
Barney Kessel played guitar on "I Loves You, Porgy," in an arrangement that has similarities to both the 1948 Billie Holiday version and to the 1959 Nina Simone version of the song, though London sings the song in a slightly higher range than both Holiday and Simone. Ernie Freeman arranged three of the songs on the album.[2]
