Couldn't resist bringing this up; do any of you remember a Martini's Jazz bar on Main Street in Kansas City MO back in the '50s? No live music, just record machine loaded with the jazz of the era. I was a student, '56 - '60, at the Kansas City Art Institute, and with my friend Fred Marshall (bassist later on the Vince Guaraldi "Peanuts Christmas Album") Martini's was one of many places where we'd regularly touch base.

This was my mom's favorite song and she and I would sing it at family functions...brings back sweet memories of my momma Marlene❤

Please tell me who is she? 1:12

No effects, no mic, just pure class and incredible talent.! 🌹 I remember "Playboy After Dark"- a fun show. Thank you for uploading this.!

This is fabulous! ❤❤❤

One of the greatest finds on YT. To hear her sing it on LP is one thing but watching her sing it elevates it so very much. This is a classic!

I love the Tracey Ullman version of this song so much. She combined the smoothness of this performance with a circumstance of the late-njght weather being too warm.

My feeling is that the June Christy catalog will be revisited often she has a way to slow down the roll pretty sure my father liked her. Very cool thanks again.

I hope this never gets removed from UA-cam as it's so unique and June is so lovely in this piece. The setting with a bunch of people around a piano player singing a song like that is better than listening to a spritzed-up version.

One of the great jazz singers.

great singer and great piano player. Who is he??

Who's the pianist ?

Just great. Lovin' it.

Fabulous! Many thanks for posting

My Mother was a teen in the '50s and she met June in a record store appearance. The owner told June, "She's one of your biggest fans" and my Mom just froze speechless. Lol. I still have the autograph she signed to my Mom.

Beautiful song,voice and lady

She really needed a driving rhythm section behind her to get the most out of her She was the kind of singer who didn't drive, but she was the best kind of passenger and then could she swing.

She may be the most underrated of the women who sang jazz. Breathtaking.

A great song by a great singer!

absolutely amazing- thank you for uploading!!

No tricks, pure talent!

Hugh Hefner.

Effortless talent.

This song goes the best with my natural voice I feel like June Christy channels through me. BEAUTIFUL song

REAL music and singing with no auto tune (non-existent today)

Pete and June recorded two Something Cools. One in 1955, the other in 1960. Almost the same personnel (most Kenton alumni), the same charts too. The difference, a few riffs had changes. Pete and Bob, her husband took her to the doc's when her health deteriorated, she was gone way too soon. The best of the best.

Huequito does not mean "hole in the wall", is an slang term to say that there is still some room (huequito) in your stomach for something else.

ホントに良いなあ。 メロディ・歌詞共に素晴らしいし、ジューン・クリスティの縮緬[ちりめん]ビブラートの効果というか、真夏の蒸し暑い都会（！ゼッタイに都会だ）の昼下がりのパブの情景、それからパブのカウンタに座る、年齢のせいでその容色のやや衰え始めた中年女性の悲哀と過ぎし日への矜持とが、もう見事に歌われる。 「毛皮の服は寒い季節用にしまってあるの。」と聞かれもしてない事柄を口走らざるを得ない女性の心の色が、歌を聴く者の胸に染みてくるようだ。

A time capsule. She is superb.

Hermosa voz de la adorable June Christy 💗

Something cool I'd like to order something cool It's so warm here in town And the heat gets me down, yes I'd like something cool My, it's nice to simply sit and rest a while Now I know it's a shame, I can't think of your name I remember your smile I don't ordinarily drink with strangers I most usually drink alone But you were so awfully nice to ask me And I'm so terribly far from home Like my dress? I must admit That it's very, very old But it's simple and neat Just right for the heat Save my furs for the cold A cigarette? Well I don't smoke them as a rule But I'll have one, it would be fun with something cool I'll bet you couldn't imagine That I one time had a house With so many rooms I couldn't count them all I'll bet you couldn't imagine I had fifteen different beaus Who would beg and beg to take me to the ball And I'll bet you couldn't picture me the time I went to Paris in the fall And who would think the man I loved Was quite so handsome, quite so charmed Well, it's through It's just a memory I had One I almost forgot 'Cause the weather's so hot And I'm feeling so bad about a date Oh wait, I'm such a fool He's just a guy who stopped to buy me Something cool

I has 33 LP Album and the Title Song On The Album Was Something Cool! I Listen to 90.9 College Of DuPage Jazz Radio and heard a 1947 Capital Recording Of her singing "Do Nothing Till You Here From Me" Man that's Classic Jazz and who better to Deliver it than June Christy!

Does anyone know who the piano player is?

Just look at the way Hugh Hefner looks at her while she is singing total mesmerized by her heart wrenching story. Total class with a sad story that you know she probably really did live.

Lovely song. We miss June Christy.

Its like June and Stan Kenton on the album "DUET"!

who would beg and beg and take me to the ball.

A cigarrette, though I don't smoke them by a rule.

My favorite song, my favorite. I love this song for all time.

Did this make anyone else cry?? I’m 23 but hearing music like this i feel like I’m being brought back in time of the 60s and it’s just so beautiful. 🥺❤️

This is probably the October 16, 1960 show (season 2, episode 2).

She was so good! I love this song by Miss Christy. Something Cool indeed. Gone 31 years now but still one of the best singers there ever was. Thank you June Christy!

It just doesn't get much better then that!

A mini opera in one superbly sung song by miss June Christy on a hot June afternoon.

Summer is here. Time to chill out with June Christy

I like this interpretation. But Ricki Lee Jones created something that never fails to get me. Never.

Really mesmerizing...something about her voice that captivating

They really don’t make them like they used to.. cardi and nikki could really take a few pointers here.

An immortal piece of music art from the sophisticated era of the Playboy Clubs. Who is the accompanist? He supports her brilliantly.
