Jo Ann Garrett

Jo Ann Garrett was born in Chicago on March 3, 1949 and began performing regularly at the Club and around the city, and soon she booked time at the Universal Recording Corporation’s innovative studio. Chess Records picked up the recordings and released them as Garrett’s first single, and the record did well locally in spring 1966. She began recording in the Chess studios instead. In 1968, Garrett and Williams began working with a fledgling company called Duo. She retired from the music business.
