Samantha Jones / Jean Owen


Main image

Samantha Jones (real name Jean Owen) is a Liverpool, UK native who, as part of The Vernon Girls, cut one of the earliest (and best) Beatles tribute records, We Love You Beatles in early '64.
Producer Charles Blackwell recognised Jones/Jean's talent early on, and began producing her as a solo artist later that same year.
Even though her records were released worldwide, well written and beautifully produced,they never achieved the hit status they deserved.

Born: November 17, 1943 in Liverpool, England
