BIOGRAPHY:
Fantastic singer, Joanne Williams appears in many albums. After meeting Russell Stone while singing together in the James Last Orchestra, they married, thus becoming Joanne Stone.
It's a pity that her career was truncated so soon, when she died due to a malignant brain tumour in 1979.
GLOVERTONES
This group was formed probably around 1958, by Madeline Bell and Joanne Williams (who were cousins, being only 16 at that time):
I haven´t any other details, sorry.
