Jill Corey
Jill Corey’s story isn’t your typical “rise to fame” story. She found success as a teenager singing on a live radio show in her hometown of Avonmore, Pennsylvania. She found a record deal with a recording company and created several hit singles and records in the early 1950s.
In addition to her many stage performances, the young woman was also featured on a number of radio and television shows, including, you guessed it, “The Tonight Show,” with Johnny Carson. Corey had a creative style of singing, dancing, and a selection of outfits. Her unique taste and girl-next-door demeanor made her a fan favorite.
