The Misty Miss Christy - June Christy

Day-Dream
The Misty Miss Christy
June Christy
Arranged and Conducted by Pete Rugolo
Capitol Records T725
1956

From the back cover: The arrangements, consciously fashioned to reflect this mood, were conceived by Pete Rugolo. They're different from the hard-blowing arrangements that usually accompany June, for Pete uses a string quintet throughout, a harp, vibes and bells, a French horn and three trombones for the subtle color they give. The effect is a gentle sound, ethereal sometimes, steadfastly imaginative, and a perfect accompaniment to the songs so painstakingly chosen.

From Billboard - August 25, 1956: Miss Christy, one-time Kenton thrush, has a good follow-up to her smash "Something Cool" package. Jocks will like it and the color photo portrait on the cover will add impetus. Sides include: "I Didn't Know About You," "Dearly Beloved" and "There's No You."
