Jun, Rosemary

Vocalist, also known as Rose Mary Jun and Rosemary June, who studied opera in Rome for a year before returning to the United States and becoming a session singer.

She was a member of the Cricketones, a group that specialized in Christmas music for children on the Pickwick label. She appeared on the 45 “Twas the Night Before Christmas”, backed with “Mixie Pixie”, in the mid-50s, and the LP Christmas is For Children, released on CD in 2007.

In 1959, she dubbed the singing voice for Judy Harriet in the film, Say One For Me. Two decades later, she provided backing vocals on Frank Sinatra’s boxed set, Trilogy. She was also a member of The Ray Charles Singers.

Working as a solo singer she released at least 12 singles in the 1950s and ’60s, with titles that include “Break Away”, “Love Me Again” and “I’ll Be With You in Apple Blossom Time”, which reached No. 14 on the UK chart in 1959.
