Jo-Ann was a drumm majorette at Fletcher high school in Jacksonville. At sixteen, she traveled through Europe with the USO as a dancer. When she came to New York in the mid-fifties, she decided to quit dancing and try her luck at singing. She was a smash succes at New York's Apollo in Harlem. This led to a recording contract with Eldorado records, where she recorded a song she wrote calles "Come on baby" in Januari 1957. She then went to Gone records where she premiered with "Wait a minute" in December 1957. Her biggest hit "Kookie little paradise" was with ABC records in the fall of 1960.
