AMG Review of Ballads for Night People

Scott Yanow
All Music Guide

The music on this LP (not reissued on CD) features the popular singer June Christy in a ballad-oriented program. She is backed by trombonist Frank Rosolino, a French horn, a sax section, a rhythm section, and a harp, all arranged by her husband, tenor saxophonist Bob Cooper. One in a long string of Christy's Capitol recordings, this fine set (highlighted by "Bewitched," "Do Nothin' 'Till You Hear From Me," "Kissing Bug," and "My Ship") holds its own with the singer's best sets.
