After singing with the orchestras of Les Hite, Jimmy Dorsey and Cab Calloway, June had a comfortable hit in 1942 with'47 th Street jive' and 'Hey Lawdy Mama', which she'd recorded with Andy Kirk's band. In 1948 she landed in Europe; she appeared for a time at the 'Casino de Paris', where her opulent silhouette, vivacity and singing talent were major attractions in the Revue; her recordings of 'Between the devil and the deep blue sea' and 'i've got a right to sing the blues' are quite simply breathtaking.
