Technology has largely eliminated the need for entertainers to have to rely on craft. This is a reminder of how real people with real talent used to entertain us.
I love June Christy's vocal timbre and her phrasing. Possibly my favourite jazz singer. This performance makes me well up with emotion. Love the band line up too.
@@IndianOutlaw1870, Allison Krauss was also born in Decatur, IL. Her mom and dad then moved their family a bit down the road to Champaign a couple of years later.
June had everything, a cool voice that could be warm, too; great interpretive style; and as her arranger at Capitol Records said, you could throw any change of time or key or anything to her and she could toss if off as it were nothing. She had a happy marriage to the great musician Bob Cooper and a darling daughter named Shay who looked very much like her parents. They lived in a hip home on a hill in Sherman Oaks. When I could not find two of June's albums in the LP days June actually had her producer, Bill Miller, get me copies from the Capitol library! She was from Decatur, Illinois, and already singing with bands by the age of 13.
You sure love the female vocalists of that era! I like your comments because the are educational and show great appreciation for this timeless music. I love June, Joni, Julie, and all the others!
She had a great voice and phrasing, a kind of mix between Ella and Anita with the heart and soul of June...A tragic waste that she succumbed to alcohol and passed away at such a relatively young age...She had good looks, class and style all rolled into one!!
I'm going to music school and one of my professors told me that he saw her on the stage..directly.😭 i love her voice and face and..everything....I should have born way more earlier :( I LOVE HER SO MUCH
The absolute best arrangement of this song EVER! Loved June Christy since I was a teen (born in the wrong decade). Unfortunately, I can't find this song on any of her albums.
Would have loved June to have taken a chance on love with me. Been a lifetime fan and now, aged 87 in 2023 still remember her her with affection. Keep listening fans.
I discovered June through Christmas music, one of my favorite genres, and I am blown away by the carefree ease in which this lovely lady can perfectly execute any song.
Can anyone tell me who the band is, she is singing with? They are great :)...Just answered my own question, as I see the film briefly starts with their name "Ernie Filice Quartet"...However, Filice is misspelt on the film titles - it is Felice. And from a web page, a bit more information..."Ernie Felice was a brilliant accordion prodigy who once was part of the Benny Goodman band (during an interview at Benny's house, Ernie so impressed Benny that Benny immediately signed Ernie to his band) and who worked closely (and was personal friends) with Henry Mancini (musical director at Universal), Ray Heindorff (music director at Warner Brothers), Alfred Newman (music director at 20th Century Fox) and Les Paul (Les and my dad started their own record label call F&P Records). When doing his many studio movies, Ernie's quartet was the featured musical talent in movies featuring the likes of Doris Day, Bob Hope, Ray Milland and others."
Here I go again I hear those trumpets blow again All aglow again Taking a chance on love Here I slide again About to take that ride again Starry eyed again Taking a chance on love I thought that cards were a frame-up I never would try Now I'm taking that game up And the ace of hearts is high Things are mending now I see a rainbow blending now We'll have a happy ending now Taking a chance on love Here I slip again About to take that trip again I got that grip again Taking a chance on love Now I prove again That I can make life move again I'm in a groove again Taking a chance on love I walk around with a horseshoe In clover I lie And brother rabbit of course you Better kiss your foot good-bye On that ball again I'm riding for a fall again I'm gonna give my all again Taking a chance on love
Actually, the real pioneer girl singer was Anita O'Day who June replaced as Stan Kenton's girl singer after Anita went solo. Their voices are very similar but Anita was way more inventive. Extreme Be-bop. Check her out.
That's a beautiful performance. Love it - I had not heard of June until I was introduced to her reading a silly book during COVID-19 lockdown called the Cinnamon Roll Murder. The best thing about the book was it had alot of jazz references that I checked out. So glad you posted this performance and your notes about her style and life. Thanks
@laurafygi887 your not bad yourself if i may say so.if you are who i think you are.you are one of my fav girl singers.you are right about miss christy she was a pioneer.many thanks.

Beautiful ending. To be honest, critics often complained about her ability as a swing singer. Total bull. She had a unique swing for sure, but the ability is obvious. She was also a pretty good scat singer.
Wow!😳🙄🤔 She looks and sounds a lot like the early Doris Day. If you close or squint your eyes you can almost swear that this is a early Doris Day clip/video from the late 40s or early 1950s. 🤗😍💌
Hey man, she and these cats are in the pocket! Are you hep to any DVD that might have this soundie included? I'd pay a small pile of folding money for a copy of it. Thanks for sharing this... it is "top-shelf"!!!
As many times that I have seen,heard,talked with Jane Monheit..she hits it right on..improv' is swinging..take her sometime at the Catalina Bar and Grill,in Hollywood,California..
Never heard such witty and seamless key changes. Refreshing and original.
This is the sort of video that should be getting a million plus views not auto tuned crap. This is real talent and craft.
Spot on!
Technology has largely eliminated the need for entertainers to have to rely on craft. This is a reminder of how real people with real talent used to entertain us.
That's why today, anyone can sing. Well, can sing badly. And there's oh so plenty of dem!
I love this woman June Christy is an underrated forgotten singer when I hear her sing a ballad hey you wanna talk about a torch singer!
What a singer and a great quintet. This kind of talent is rare.
She's pulling those modulations out of thin air...fantastic!
when music and songs had heartfelt meaning
My my my ______ she has it all
Brilliant
この時代にボーカルも含めてジャズの可能性に満ちた楽曲
こうゆう音楽は大切にしたいですね👍
I love June Christy's vocal timbre and her phrasing. Possibly my favourite jazz singer. This performance makes me well up with emotion. Love the band line up too.
Great sing, great Version!!! To quote Yuval Noah Harari " What do we need humans for?"
Her tone is sublime isn't it.
One more thing: the key changes are as smooth as butter. Thanks again June.
tzazzy: your comment is absolutely right! these changes are not easy to sing in accurate form, so that it sounds good
way cool key changes for sure
YES!!!!
Right now neat! I have been transcribing the piano solo and I didn’t even notice the first several play throughs
Was thinking the exact same thing. She really nails 'em.
Soooo pleasing to hear.
Can see the work put in with this video
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a mad keen 76yo Aussie fan.
Sweet lovely easy listening sweetness name June Christy love so sentimentally beautiful goodness.
This song really hit me different as a new generation teenage girl I could say that this song was totally gold😍
This song always makes me feel happy. Thanks June.
oh wow - i listened to this years ago - found it again - June was superb - all a glow again - taken a chance on love
'Misty''' is right. I like her big-time.
June Christie is my absolute favourite lady singer. This song, although at first hearing seeming to be so simple, has a tremendously grooving swing.
June was the best of the best!
Proud to say she's from my home town, Decatur, IL! From what I've heard, she was performing in local bands by the time she turned 13🎙🎶
Yeah. She and Grace Lee Whitney were child prodigies, but Grace went down a different path and became an actress.

Which of June's recordings on CD would you suggest for a 1st time buyer?
@@robertcraddock4469 "Something Cool" on C.D. with both the original mono and later stereo recordings.
And she was gorgeous. How would you contrast the following vocalists: June Christy, Anita O'Day, and Chris Connor?
What a fantastic voice! And that group with her was really swingin' it!
A wondeful vocalist one of the greatest but anyhow underated
+Rolf Westerberg And her voice gained color and depth in later years. She is one of my favorites.
She had a great voice and phrasing, a kind of mix between Ella and Anita with the heart and soul of June...A tragic waste that she succumbed to alcohol and passed away at such a relatively young age...She had good looks, class and style all rolled into one!!
the perfect intonation.... beautiful veiled voice... lovely!
Great voice.
Cool band.
GREAT voice!!
This the Truth In Singing.
Produced for Louis Snader's "TeleScriptions" series of musical shorts for television in 1950.
Great cover of a great song
I love her little lisp, it is magnificent as is everything about her.
June was the pioneer for all of us girl singers.
Man, the band is swingin' here! And every time I hear June Christy I fall in love.
fabulous
Love Love Love and Love!!!!
Simply beautiful. ❤
She was beautiful and very talented.
Taking a chance on love BEAUTIFUL SMILE
EL VERDADERO AMOR SIEMPRE TENDRA UNA OPORTUNIDAD BEAUTIFUL SMILE
heavenly phrasing and timbre plus extraordinarily beautiful--cute !
I'm going to music school and one of my professors told me that he saw her on the stage..directly.😭 i love her voice and face and..everything....I should have born way more earlier :( I LOVE HER SO MUCH
Perfection!!!!!
Beautiful. Such a clear, crystal voice. Great support from the band.
I love Her.
The absolute best arrangement of this song EVER! Loved June Christy since I was a teen (born in the wrong decade). Unfortunately, I can't find this song on any of her albums.
There's a version of her doing it live with Stan Kenton's orchestra from 1953; I'm not sure where it's available (it's not on Spotify)
Here it is: ua-cam.com/video/OlMqfj_WjWk/v-deo.html
thanks for the memories of a great singer.
I love her songs🌬🍂🍂
Would have loved June to have taken a chance on love with me. Been a lifetime fan and now, aged 87 in 2023 still remember her her with affection. Keep listening fans.
Hang in there Ronny. I'm right behind you at 85, & reminiscing.
June et Ella, les reines du swing !
I'm in love with this song.
And love that licorice stick too. She was the top of the top, the ultimate artist.
WOW. this is real. talk about a perfect performance
I have not expected I can see moving June Christy. And very clear image quality. Great! Thank you!
My favourite!
Delightful, superb!

Wow, you rubbed elbows with some greats, I'm thinking! Thanks for posting a comment.
Wow !!! Rosie. You had an inside track.
June, Dahling - You look mahvelous and and you sound fabulous!
Something Cool !
Here I go again
I hear those trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here I slide again
About to take that ride again
Starry eyed again
Taking a chance on love
I thought that cards were a frame-up
I never would try
Now I'm taking that game up
And the ace of hearts is high
Things are mending now
I see a rainbow blending now
We'll have a happy ending now
Taking a chance on love
Here I slip again
About to take that trip again
I got that grip again
Taking a chance on love
Now I prove again
That I can make life move again
I'm in a groove again
Taking a chance on love
I walk around with a horseshoe
In clover I lie
And brother rabbit of course you
Better kiss your foot good-bye
On that ball again
I'm riding for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love
tendra una oportunidad este amor, es lo único que me mantiene con vida BEAUTIFUL SMILE MI EWELINA
She's so cute
Definitely for me!
Actually, the real pioneer girl singer was Anita O'Day who June replaced as Stan Kenton's girl singer after Anita went solo. Their voices are very similar but Anita was way more inventive. Extreme Be-bop. Check her out.
Why? Be-bop is crap.
She reminds me so much of a less brassy and comic, more smooth and jazzy Betty Hutton. Many points in her phrasing and tone. Sublime!!
June - absolutely great - thank you for this!
Thanks for uploading

The 40’s are the Real Jazz Age
Check out the Helen Forrest/Benny Goodman version of this song, too.
Beautiful ending. To be honest, critics often complained about her ability as a swing singer. Total bull. She had a unique swing for sure, but the ability is obvious. She was also a pretty good scat singer.
Wow!😳🙄🤔 She looks and sounds a lot like the early Doris Day. If you close or squint your eyes you can almost swear that this is a early Doris Day clip/video from the late 40s or early 1950s. 🤗😍💌
I can see the similarities.
Tres bien ;))
Hey man, she and these cats are in the pocket! Are you hep to any DVD that might have this soundie included? I'd pay a small pile of folding money for a copy of it. Thanks for sharing this... it is "top-shelf"!!!
Thanks to Taehyung 💜💜🥰🥰🙋♀️🙋♀️
❤️❤️❤️
Swwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeet!
💜
who were the players?
This is real jazz singing. Jane Monheit is just a pop singer who sings standards and thinks she is a jazz singer.
As many times that I have seen,heard,talked with Jane Monheit..she hits it right on..improv' is swinging..take her sometime at the Catalina Bar and Grill,in Hollywood,California..
Does anyone know who's in the band?
Im here coz V BTS💜
Well she took a chance with that ending. Yikes 😂
nasty accordion solo :P
Levely???... *hicks*
