I can only look back,b4 my days to this beautiful artist.....if i wished to go back and experience this time..i would probably be 2 old to be here with you al ...time..is an amzing thing,as..music is.
Guy supported ssoooo many artists in their careers. This is a beautiful arrangement for her, listen again to the flute lead and clarinet trio as her accompaniment !!!!
Actually June Hutton never sang with Tommy Dorsey. June sang with Charlie Spivak and his orchestra as the female lead for The Stardusters. She joined the Pied Pipers after Jo Stafford left the pipers in 1944. The Pied Pipers actually left the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra in 1942.
Thanks for the correction, though June did do Dorsey retrospective shows in later years. She and Ina Ray were also thought to be biracial, but it's never been clarified and they didn't discuss it in their lifetimes.
She "passed" for white back in those days in order to survive in the music business. Like my Mother, she's mixed with white and black, although she looks white. That girl could dance and sing:)
There is one investigative reporter who try to claim that Ina Ray Hutton and her sister June, are not black. And there are a couple of white people who tried to dismiss these women blackness but. The evidence is there, they are from South side Chicago, predominantly black community back then as it is today. That was during Jim Crow so, no white people are living next to these people. Family was featured several times in an all-black newspaper call the Chicago defender, in the nineteen-twenties they were labeled as mulatto, and labeled as black again in the 1930s. I'm sorry, you just not going to have a white family labeled as black twice, during apartheid America. If you listen to this video on UA-cam where Ina Ray Hutton is talkin.. on a video called glamour for sale. If You close your eyes, and listen to her speech pattern. That's a black American woman 100%. She definitely doesn't speak like a white person from in 1930s from the Midwest. That's not a white Midwestern accent. That's for sure
Both June and Ina Rae were notably talented and notably successful. They also were gracious and classy ladies. Yes, there were black relatives on the family tree but neither Ina Ray or June obviously felt that was an issue; they simply never talked about it and I am not even sure they were asked about it.
It was most definitely an issue. Talking about their black ancestry would've gotten them blackballed from show biz or worse. Based on other passing stories, these sisters had to sever all ties with their black relatives for it to work.
I would say that she looked blacker than her sister. because I'm looking at her face especially at 0:23 when she's kind of looking down, definitely black LOL I'm like Yo... they didn't recognize she was black?

The Royal Canadians were so classy and versital, I could talk all day about them.

great singer and great performer. it was a sadness that she passed away in 1973
Thanks, June was a great singer.
what a truly lovely voice!
This has Abad memory for me my long time girlfriend broke up when it was popular. LOVE THE song though
Never heard of her.Year I was born.
+Jan Hodgson June sang with Tommy Dorsey's band as one of the Pied Pipers, later had a solo career, and was the sister of Ina Ray Hutton.

If you look white, you ARE white.

Just June. They had different fathers.
They said she and her sister Ina were black and hid it publicly.
June had a black father.
@aeichler wow so they did hide it. Both Cowan though.
I think Ina Ray's father was white.
@aeichler not that it matters. The passing thing both fascinates me and makes me sad for the ones who felt the need. Leaving my family would gut me.
I don't think she ever denied it. It just wasn't mentioned. But it's in all her bios.

@@JudgeDurham How do you explain Latin Americans? Their obvious black ancestry is politely ignored.
