If anybody out there in the wide wide world has not heard of
"June Christy" then when and if they decide to download this L/P they
will get a pleasant surprise...June belongs to group of great Jazz
singers that has never had what we call a hit record but is a great
singer and has made quite a few L/P's....other singers like "Chris
Conner" "Carmen McRae" "Anita O'Day""Dakota Staton" "Ethel Ennis"and
loads more are in the same category....good competent singers in there
own right...Its a pity that the singers of today can't match up to any
of them !!....I only know of one that would fit the bill and that is a
great Scottish Singer called "Carol Kidd" she is definatly worth a
listen to !!

June Christy (born Shirley Luster; November 20, 1925 – June 21, 1990) was an American singer, known for her work in the cool jazz genre and for her silky smooth vocals. Her success as a singer began with The Stan Kenton Orchestra. She pursued a solo career from 1954 and is best known for her debut album Something Cool. After her death, she was hailed as "one of the finest and most neglected singers of her time."[1]
