VONNY JAY

 

Vonny Jay (born Yvonne George) was born in South Australia and was known as that's states version of Brenda Lee. When she left school, she took a clerical job and settled down in it for five years. Vonny didn't think she had a good voice until a friend heard her singing and suggested she have an audition. Vonny took her friends advice and to her amazement she was accepted to sing at a weekly dance. She did this for several months and she auditioned at ADS-7 amateur show Stairway To The Stars. The audition was a success. She then went onto sing at every major dance circuit and appeared on all three Adelaide TV stations most notably Channel Seven's Seventeeners. Vonny at times fronted The Penny Rockets. She also appeared on Johnny O'Keefe's Sing Sing Sing and Bandstand.
