GORDON MacRAE / JUNE HUTTON
SONGS FROM "BY THE LIGHT OF THE SILVERY MOON" AND OTHERS |  |
Description:
Gordon MacRae starred opposite Doris Day in a series of sparkling family musicals during his 5 year contract at Warners before winning the lead role in Oklahoma! and Carousel, two of the biggest films musicals in the 1950s. The film By the Light of the Silvery Moon was a box office success in 1953 but a soundtrack release proved impossible because both stars were contracted to opposing record labels so a Doris Day replacement was needed for this recording. In stepped June Hutton, who had replaced the out going Jo Stafford in the popular seven member vocal group The Pied Pipers, and an established singer in her own right. Of the 27 tracks featured here, the first 8 are songs from the film, followed by solo contributions by either Gordon or June. June Hutton was married to orchestra leader Axel Stordahl and died young in 1973. Although she was a highly regarded vocalist, her recording output was limited compared to her peers and consequently there is not much of June Hutton represented on CD. All of June’s US chart entries are included here and almost every track is making it’s first appearance on CD. |
