""This Is June Christy" kicks off with her great single "My Heart Belongs to Only You" then wanders through a nifty group of other great singles. In June's day the great jazz singers all had parallel careers on their labels as pop single artists. That was the music scene then--much less regimented than now. "Those Kenton Days" refashions June's Kenton hits into fresh arrangements inspired by the originals (sometime Pete Rugolo rewriting his own work) and recorded in great stereo. Through this double collection June is at her mistiest, most heartfelt and inventive and Rugolo's orchestral arrangements nothing less than amazing. There was no one like him and no one like them as team. It's fabulous to see June rediscovered by new generations and selling like hotcakes. How surprised and thrilled this adorable lady and most original talent would be."
The Best!

"I can say no more than the earlier reviewers. Just 'Timeless Music' by
a Unique Lady. Although somewhat insecure about her singing - it was
completely unfounded. Thanks June for so much Joy!
Any fan out there that hasn't this set should go for it!"
