June Christy Biography
June Christy secured a place as one of the most successful and respected cool jazz singers of the 1950s with her intimate, intelligent, and artistic style. Christy rose to prominence as a singer for the Stan Kenton Orchestra, replacing Anita O'Day in 1945. She recorded a number of hits with Kenton's band, including the million-selling "Tampico," but it wasn't until she began releasing solo albums in the early `50s that she truly hit her artistic stride. 1952's SOMETHING COOL, recorded with Kenton arranger Pete Rugolo, proved her breakthrough album, effectively launching the cool vocals movement. It's follow-up, THE MISTY MISS CHRISTY, was equally influential, and Christy continued to record regularly until 1965.
