Jeanne Black (born Gloria Jeanne Black, October 25, 1937,[1] Pomona, California) was an American country singer.
Black first sang on Cliffie Stone's television program, Hometown Jamboree, from 1956 to 1959.[2] Following this, she sang in Nevada, in Las Vegas and Tahoe. She signed with Capitol Records in 1960 and released the single "He'll Have to Stay" later that year. The song, which was an answer record to Jim Reeves's hit "He'll Have to Go", was a hit in the U.S. The song peaked at #11 on the Black Singles, #6 on the Country, and #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.[3] The song reached #41 in the UK Singles Chart and globally sold over one million copies,[4 ] earning gold disc status.[1]
Black was unable to repeat the success of the single, and remains a one-hit wonder.
She is married to the guitarist, Billy Strange.
