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 film 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".
On her death in 1973, at the age of 53, June Hutton was buried in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California next to her husband.

Learn to live it as you go
No one in the world can censure
What we do here below
Don't save your kisses, just pass them around
You'll find my reason is logic'lly sound
Who's going to know that you passed them around
Why crave a penthouse that's fit for a queen
You're nearer Heaven on Mother Earth's green
If you had millions what would they all mean
A hundred years from today
So laugh and sing, make love the thing
Be happy while you may
There's always one, beneath the sun
Who's bound to make you feel that way
The moon is shining, and that's a good sign
Cling to me closer and say you'll be mine
Remember, darling, we won't see it shine
A hundred years from today
A hundred years from today
Don't save your kisses, just pass them around
You'll find my reason is logic'lly sound
Who's going to know that you passed them around
A hundred years from today!
Why crave a penthouse that's fit for a queen
You're nearer heaven on Mother Earth's green
If you had millions what would they all mean
A hundred years from today
So laugh and sing, make love the thing
Be happy while you may
There's always one, beneath the sun
Who's bound to make you feel that way
The moon is shining, and that's a good sign
Cling to me closer and say you'll be mine
Remember, darling, we won't see it shine
