June HuttonJune Hutton (August 11, 1920-May 2, 1973) was an American popular singer. In the late 1930s, she joined the band of her older half-sister, Ina Rae Hutton, singing under the name of Elaine Merritt'. In 1941 she joined Charlie Spivak's band as a member of a vocal group, The Stardusters (along with Glenn Calyon, Curt Purnell, and Dick Wylder). The Spivak orchestra and the Stardusters appeared in a Betty Grable movie, "Pin-Up Girl," in 1943. She had two hits as a member of The Stardusters, "This Is No Laughing Matter" and "Brother Bill" and also made a solo hit recording, "Dreamsville, Ohio." In 1944, when Jo Stafford left The Pied Pipers to go solo, June replaced her in that group. With the Pipers, she recorded a number of hits: "Lily Belle," "Mam'selle," "In the Middle of May," "My Happiness," and the Pipers' trademark song, "Dream." In 1945 she dubbed the singing voice for Vera-Ellen in the movie "Wonder Man." In 1950 she left the group to become a soloist. The next year she married orchestra leader Axel Stordahl. Her recordings for Capitol Records were backed up by Stordahl's orchestra. In 1953 she had three charted hits on Capitol: "Say You're Mine Again," "No Stone Unturned," and "For The First Time."
