Giovanna Carmella Babbo was born in Chicago, [[Illinois]] on September 22, 1930. Upon graduating from high school, she joined a local dance group that led to a position as a chorus girl at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in the windy city
but soon she decided to pursue a singing career with the name Joni James.
Discovered after her appearance in a television commercial by MGM talent scouts, she was signed to a recording contract in 1952 that produced her first million seller, Why Don’t You Believe Me” followed by Hit Parade chart toppers
“Have You Heard,” “Your Cheatin' Heart” "My Love, My Love" and "You're Fooling Someone."
