Jeanne Black (born October 25, 1937) was an American country singer.
Born
Gloria Jeanne Black in Pomona, California on October 25, 1937, she and younger
sister Janie were discovered by Country singer, bassist/bandleader, record
producer, music publisher Cliffie Stone and hired to appear on his weekly TV
show Hometown Jamboree on KTLA-TV Pasadena in 1956, where they remained until
the show's cancellation in 1959.
Following
this, she sang in Nevada, in Las Vegas and Tahoe and had also married guitarist
Billy Strange (who would later make a name for himself by working with everybody
from Elvis Presley to the Beach Boys).
In
1960 Black became a contract artist of Capitol Records. She recorded a few
sides with her sister as Jeanne & Janie but released her first single on
that label "He'll Have to Stay," as an answer song to Jim Reeves'
"He'll Have to Go." "He'll Have to Stay" was written by
Audrey Allison, Charles Randolph Grean (as Charles Grean) and Joe Allison.
"He'll Have to Stay" eventually appeared on the charts, and climbed until it reached its peak position at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1960. It also became a top ten country hit at #6, #11 on the Billboard R&B singles chart, making "He'll Have to Stay" a crossover hit. It also charted on the British chart at #41 that same year. It sold over a million copies, guaranteeing it a "gold record"
status.
She
charted two more hits in 1960 on the Hot 100.
Her follow-up to "He'll Have to Stay” charted on July 25, 1960
"Lisa" became a #43 hit record, remaining on the Hot 100 for 9 weeks. On December 26, 1960 she charted “Oh, How I
Miss You Tonight." The single
became a #63 hit and became her last Billboard Hot 100 record.
However,
"He'll Have to Stay" would also be Jeanne Black's only major hit, as
she was unable to duplicate its success. Other following singles -- "Lisa"
(#43 pop) and (#63 pop) were only minor hits. Despite the other charting
singles, Black was unable to repeat the success of the single, and remains a
one-hit wonder. She eventually retired from active recording and performing,
but helped with her husband Billy Strange's website. They remained married
until his death in 2012.
