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)

The first record I ever bought was "Something Cool" on 45rpm. Shortly thereafter I bought the LP 33-1/3rd, I think it was a ten inch. I must have over a dozen LPs by June and I notice an increasing number of CDs have been issued in more recent years. Maybe I will upload some of her more obscure songs on YouTube when I figure out how to do it. She was, is, my favorite singer of all time and will probably always will remain. Her choice of songs has been impeccable.

What a superb singer. This is not the version on the "Something Cool" album, which opens the (excellent) slide-show, but a later version, in which she takes more risks and performs some phrases rubato (e.g. 2:56-3:00), but in which her voice has become slightly grainy. I prefer the later work, which has more depth even if it loses some purity of tone. Her duet album with Stan Kenton on piano shows her at her most intimate, the "Something Cool" album at her most inventive. Thanks for posting.
