JOANIE SOMMERS
Joanie Sommers began her singing career at the
age of ten when she appeared on a television
show in Buffalo, New York. Her family and people
in the professional world took an immediate
interest in her, but their efforts were never to
materialize in Buffalo, for it was shortly
thereafter that the lark and her family came
west to Venice, California.
By the time she was ready to enter junior high
school Joanie had already begun to develop a
vocal style all her own. In 1955 she entered
Venice High School and became the vocalist with
the school's dance band. At that time she came
under the tutelage of Professor Manny Glass who
helped her to develop the poise and self-
assurance necessary to a good performer. A
contract with Warner Brothers Records followed
and the song stress was on her way.
