June Christy - All God's Children Got Rhythm

[waynebrasler]

About June and "Love For Sale," EVERYONE recorded "Love For Sale," including Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett and dozens of others. A song by Cole Porter written for a Broadway show it never ended ANYONE'S career.  I don't think June ever recorded it commercially.

From what I have heard June suffered from alcohol abuse. Such a pity. She was and still is my favourite canary.

I miss here very much..so over looked and under appreciated.

I used to work with her husband, Tenor player Bob Cooper. He said she would copy his solos when he was practicing. Best Jazz singer, ever.

Why was she not more appreciated at the time? For me, she's as good as any great female singer, plus she looks the part

[charliedontsurf70]

she recorded a song called"love for sale"about a prostitute and it ended her career.funny,today nobody would care.times change.

WHAT??? Where in the world did you get THAT piece of misinformation?

[lokijordan]

@charliedontsurf70  How so?

[waynebrasler]

At this point, she, Chris Connor and Doris Day resembled each other physically greatly and all three admired each other's talents (and all recorded "The Night We Called It A Day"). Note that June is musically faultless, a true jazz singer, perfectly poised and graceful at the microphone and impeccably gowned and groomed. In concert she could hush a large, packed venue with the first notes of "Midnight Sun." She was just charismatic, something that can't be learned or created.
