The white gardenia was popular with many singers in the 1940's. June Christy was a featured vocalist with the Stan Kenton Orchestra. She recorded "Tampico" with Kenton and "How High the Moon" was a hit in 1948.

I'm enjoying your watercolors so much, Marilyn! This one hit a personal note for me. My dad's mother was a Kenton, and Stan Kenton was cousin of hers. I grew up listening to this music, and so, of course, June Christy. I'm impressed with how the microphone is integral to the colors used in the figure and your simple, effective brushstrokes. Lovely!
