Jennie Smith was a young vocalist who emerged briefly in the late '50s as a would-be Polly Bergen, or a potential rival to Patti Page as a pop singer. Born Jo Ann Kristof in Burnwell, WV, in 1938, she started singing at a very early age and by age six was doing solos in church. She was fortunate to have a connection to the entertainment business through her father, John Kristof, who was working at a radio station. She made her professional debut at 14 with the Al Waslohn band and later came to the attention of Charleston, WV, DJ Hugh McPherson, with whose help she secured better gigs, starting with Lionel Hampton, and later including bands led by Billy May and Johnny Long.
A stylist with a sound well beyond her years, at 19 Smith made her recording debut on RCA Victor with the backing of arranger/conductor Ray Ellis, releasing her own album that year. Smith was significant enough in her time to rate a featurette in Look magazine, and she later appeared with Frankie Randall in a series of Chevrolet ads (she was "Miss Chevrolet" to his "Mr. Chevrolet"). She went on to release one more LP with Ellis, entitled Love Among the Young, at Columbia Records, in 1959, where she cut two more LPs. Her singles included "(I Won't) Go Away Little Boy" on the Canadian American label.
