I have been captivated by Johneron’s voice for a long time. she had a very dramatic soprano…..and I feel its unfortunate that her voice wasn’t showcased as it should have been.
From reading the comments on youtube, I know that she was married in the 1960’s, causing her to leave the Caravans and move to Georgia. She died on a heart attack in the 1960’s.
She had a very classic beautiful look. You can often hear her voice shining in the background in the mid-50’s recording of the Caravans. She was also present for the 1955 Shrine Concert.
