coronetave June Christy was one of the great jazz singers. Although her voice diminished somewhat with age,the depth and poignancy of her singing grew with the passing of the years. Nearly all of her recordings are worth collecting. Please post more preformance footage of this great artist.

@jatoodee Looking for anything on my father, the late Jimmy "Red" Borland, who sang with the Pastels in 1947 (Kenton's vocal group)...

June Christy was my idol when I decided to switch to Standards from singing Top 40's in the nightclubs of HK. "The Cellar" in the basement of the now demolished Ambassador Hotel on the Golden Strip in Kowloon, HK where I worked nightly the last years of my career was a frequented of Pilots, Chefs, and the best kept secret of the Gay Community. Frank Sinatra, Shirley Maclaine, amongst other famous stars would stop for a late night drink while in HK. Those were the days!
