This Capitol LP, one of many that
June Christy cut during the 1950s, features her soft but swinging vocals accompanied by a 12-piece group arranged by
Pete Rugolo. While the backup musicians include trumpeter
Don Fagerquist, trombonist
Frank Rosolino, altoist
Bud Shank, and tenor saxophonist
Bob Cooper (all of whom are unidentified in the very brief liner notes), the cool-toned singer is the main star. Highlights include a definitive "I Want to Be Happy," "Imagination," "When Sunny Gets Blue," and "It's Always You." All of
June Christy's Capitol dates are well worth picking up.
