THE MISTY MISS CHRISTY

BORN SHIRLEY LUSTER SHE WAS SINGING WITH BANDS SINCE THE AGE OF 13.
AS 'SHARON LESLIE' SHE WAS WITH BOYD RAEBURN'S BAND BEFORE
SHE JOINED STAN KENTON ON MARCH 22ND 1945.
NEXT STEP WAS TO BECOME 'JUNE CHRISTY' AND RECORD 'TAMPICO' WHICH BECAME ONE OF KENTON'S BIGGEST SELLERS.
THE REST IS HISTORY AND, EVEN ALTHOUGH SHE PURSUED A SOLO CAREER FROM 1948,
WHEN STAN HAD ONE OF MANY TEMPORARY DISBANDMENTS,
JUNE CHRISTY WILL ALWAYS REMAIN SYNONYMOUS WITH STAN KENTON.
