June Valli was a ubiquitous personality on US TV through the 1950s, having come to the fore by the time-honoured route that she shared with many US pop stars, of winning the ‘Arthur Godfrey Talent Scouts’ TV show, leading to appearances on the Perry Como and Ed Sullivan shows as well as residencies on the ‘Stop The Music’ and ‘Your Hit Parade’ programmes. The Arthur Godfrey success led to a recording contract with RCA, with whom she stayed until she signed to Mercury in 1958 and then to United Artists in 1962. She was one of those middle ground pop artists who managed to make the transition from the early ‘50s style into the post-rock ‘n’ roll era, which enabled her to have chart hits from 1952 through to 1960.

This collection focuses on her single and EP releases during the first decade of her career through to 1962, by which time she had started to turn her attention towards the album market. It comprises a portion of her A & B sides from this era, along with the tracks form her 1956 EPs “All Alone”, “The Torch” and “Body And Soul”. Also featured her are her career chart entries, including the Top 10 hits “Crying In The Chapel” and “I Understand”, as well as versions of big hit songs of the time, “Unchained Melody” and “The Wedding”. This creates an enjoyable showcase for the talent which kept her in the public eye and retained a fan base through a changing musical landscape.


REVIEWS

“June Valli was a talented New Yorker of Italian extraction who over more than a decade made some excellent records without ever hitting a consistent run of success. One looks at the new release information with great interest each month so it was with a mixture of anticipation and something of surprise when this three CD set was announced and full credit to Acrobat for committing to such a project for a singer whose name is hardly in the 'household' bracket. I don't recall any other label attempting a retrospective of this magnitude so this is a very welcome round up of her career. Not complete, but as good as we are ever going to get, with 83 chronologically ordered tracks spanning eleven years over the three CDs. The accompanying booklet contains full discographical information as usual and the biographical notes have obviously been extensively researched, throwing up a lot of interesting quotes. Once again plaudits to Acrobat for assembling this very welcome compilation, yet another impressive addition to their burgeoning catalogue of definitive collections.”  –  Gerry Stonestreet  (In Tune Issue 342)
