June Songs

Well Hello There June

Here we are almost halfway through the year, swinging back on some tunes to recall the month of June!

"June in January" is a popular song with music by Ralph Rainger and lyrics by Leo Robin, published in 1934. Popularized on golden screen with movie star Dean Martin around 1959, needless to say relates to Northern Hemisphere. Great leap back in time to my parents generation, dressing up to get to the theater was a rare treat, music was played on the radio where I heard it first.

June In January - Dean Martin

The Everly Brothers were an American rock duo, sound of steel-string acoustic guitar and close harmony singing. Consisting of Isaac Donald "Don" Everly and Phillip "Phil" Everly, brothers combined elements of rock and roll, country, and pop, becoming pioneers of country rock. Many more popular songs sound their way to hit-parades around the world, "Crying in the Rain", "Till I Kissed You" and "Bye Bye Love" if memory needs a jolt.... different, popular with many, not quite my taste!

"June Is As Cold As December" - The Everly Brothers · Song · 1966

Northern Hemisphere have fun in June, positive, happy-go-lucky attitude of the 90s was refreshingly different from today's BS. Swedish pop groups always appeared light hearted. Originally consisting of Marie Fredriksson (vocals and piano) and Per Gessle (vocals and guitar) formed in 1986 and very popular into the 1990s.

My personal favourite was "It Must Have Been Love", we remember Marie who succumbed to cancer after a seventeen year battle with a brain tumor at age of sixty-one.

They were super popular as disco music when we were young, never bought any of their LP's though. Enjoy your week further.

Good morning dear friend @joanstewart
It's true, it's incredible that we have consumed half of the year, I love this selection of songs in honor of June. Dean Martin's theme is a difficult class to forget
Have a beautiful day

Oh wow if Roxette is classic at this point, the Everely Brothers and Dean Martin are the WAYBACK machine!

Can’t believe June is already half over. Gonna be a wild ride this summer!

Roxette still around as a band, I believe coming to our country next year, not our city! Everly brothers were well known to many from that age.

Thanks for visiting and kind comment yup half the year almost over!

Woman used to swoon over Dean Martin when colour movies hit town in a big way, so innocent, so old fashioned now!

This is a trip through the years here! Old, to 60's, to modern. Nice travels!

The Everly Brothers certainly had a clean sound to them, didn't they. I remember not appreciating it at all as a youngster, but definitely learned to do so later.

Close to my teens bands played a big part in growing up over the years in the home. None of us musicians, but all loved a good tune.
