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 gospel 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. Madeline stayed 2 years with them.

After leaving Family, Tony Ashton teamed with his mate Jon Lord. They recorded an album with lots of friends and guests, First of the big bands. Some guests in the album are: Jim Cregan (guitar), Jerry Donahue (guitar), Peter Frampton (guitar), Pat Donaldson (bass), Dick Parry (sax), Howie Casey (horns), Dave Caswell (trumpet), Mike Davies (trumpet), John Mumford (trombone), Frank Ricotti (percussion), Carmine Appice (drums), Terry Cox (drums), Ian Paice (drums), and backing vocals by Madeline Bell, Tony Ferguson, Jimmy Helms, Kenny Rowe, Graham White, Joanne Williams, Roger Willis.

JAMES LAST ORCHESTRA
This was the personnel for James Last Orchestra that released the double live album James Last live in 1974:
This was part the James Last Orchestra lineup around 1975. If anybody knows the names of the other players, please write me:
Russell Stone and Joanne Williams left the orchestra in order to attend their own commitments as R & J.
Big Jim Sullivan played for 9 years in James Last Orchestra since 1978, but I haven´t been able to find proper info about the lineups. This is my guess for a lineup in 1978, based on the Live in London 1978 video:

BOOKHAM AND RISKETT
Bookham And Riskett was a sort of pseudonym for Vicki Brown and Joanne Williams, in order to release some material, avoiding contractual obligations.
As far as I know, they released a single in 1979, ´We got a love / Bama-Lama-Boogie´, but I don´t know if there was more material. Anybody knows?
