June Christy - Something Cool

This is June Christy's Something Cool recorded in the 1950's. She started out replacing Anita O'Day as a singer in Stan Kenton's orchestra and branched out on her own later on. I have searched for some of her material here on YouTube and didn't find much. That's very dissapointing because I love her voice and I feel that she is severely underated. So anyway, this has inspiried me to try out this video thing and make my own with the materials I have of her music. This is my first one so please be kind...I mostly just want people to hear her music. I hope everyone else that wanders around youtube becomes inspired to make and upload their favorite artists or hobbies because there isn't enough quality music out there to enjoy and we need to remind people of the classics and the good things in life. Anyway, thanks for viewing and let me know if you have any tips for future videos because I'm just a beginner and any help would be appreciated. :O)

I'm 20, Black, Male,grew during hip hop and Grunge but i find comfort in this timeless beautiful classic. Most of todays female artists have no style, taste or class. I was born in the wrong fucking era but then i may not have lived to truely appriciate such music on youtube.

God is in his heaven... all is well

Thanks for posting this as I was curious how she sounded after reading about her in the Chet Baker bio, Deep In A Dream, by James Gavin. She's only mentioned briefly on less than half a page but I really wanted to hear her since I never had up to this point.

She's sitting with Sarah Vaughn.

You mean the Stan Kenton band? But she's not sitting. Earlier on, however, she's sitting between Kenton and Dizzy Gillespie.

You don't have to accept today's awful world, and I agree - it is without class or style. But this place of beauty and love is there for you in the good music and jazz of Christie, Getz, Jo Stafford, Ella, Nat Cole, Desmond, Miles, and so many others that it will fill your lifetime.

All the best.
