5.0 out of 5 stars June Christy my favorite singer ever!, October 21, 2002

(Sorry Yma and Jeri, you're very close.) I've listened to this cd at least a billion times and it's never grown old on me. Although I love Something Cool and Duet, this is my favorite June Christy cd for it has the right mix of slow and cheerful songs.
Why is June Christy my favorite singer? Because she is unique. She stamps her identity upon her songs, not only with her sincere singing but also with her music, which I've always have found to be peculiar. I can't think of another singer who uses the oboe so much in her work.
There are songs in this cd that still give me shivers like The Wind and Round Midnight, which Christy sings the definite version of. Her songs aren't just songs, they're stories. You can see June pulling up that collar!
Also look out for the last track Intrigue, sadly hidden. Sing Something Simple is adorable too.

5.0 out of 5 stars June is the best-kept secret of the twentieth century., April 30, 1999

I became obsessed with this album after finding it in a box of my grandmother's records and was thrilled to find it on CD, although wax does it justice too--The Misty Miss Christy is such an engrossing time capsule that, after a few listens, you won't believe your luck. June's versatile, wide-ranging voice is amazing for the moods it conveys without ever losing the "cool" sound. Its combination of innocence and passion are at times magically conveyed through Pete Rugulo's arrangements of classic jazz/big band songs of love won, lost, and sought. There's something almost eerie about the way this album sticks with you, and once you hear June sing "For All We Know" no one else's version will ever sound right. Christy's work with Stan Kenton never really let her stand out; this is June at her cool best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect intro to June's work, April 12, 2000

Someone else has already mentioned this, but it's worth repeating...This album is worth the price of admission alone just for June's reading of 'Round Midnight. This is my absoulte favorite vocal version of this song. This phrasing is dead on - bound to give you chills. This is the album that introduced me to Miss Christy, and still my favorite.
