Joni James - Why Don't You Believe Me video free download
Joni James (Giovanna 'Joan' Carmella Babo) was born into an Italian family in Chicago on Sept. 22, 1930. As an adolescent, she studied drama and ballet, and on graduating from high school, went with a local dance group on a tour of Canada. She then took a job as a chorus girl in the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago. After doing a fill-in in Indiana, she decided to pursue a singing career. Some executives at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) spotted her in a television commercial, and she was signed by MGM in 1952. Her first hit, "Why Don't You Believe Me?" sold over two million copies. She had a number of hits following that one, including "Your Cheatin' Heart" (a cover of Hank Williams' hit) and "Have You Heard?"

I just have to get some of these albums. I had never heard of her and I think she is FAB! But seriously, she really is good. And the orchestra behind her is great. I will add her music to my collection.9 years ago

I wish my parents had named me Joni, because one of my favorite singers was Joni Mitchell. But my parents were born in 1920, and I was named after another female singer Jeanette McDonald. By the way I also sing and I love the sound of Joni James voice. It is really beautiful.9 years ago
