Jo Ann Campbell (born July 20, 1938, Jacksonville, Florida) is an American pop singer.
Campbell began attending music school at the age of four, and won many honors as a drum majorette at Fletcher High School. In 1954 she travelled Europe as a dancer, then moved to New York, where she joined the Johnny Conrad Dancers and made several television appearances on shows such as The Milton Berle Show and The Colgate Comedy Hour.
In 1956, Campbell decided to quit dancing and become a singer. She received her first recording contract with RKO-Point Records in New York and released her debut single "Where Ever You Go" / "I'm Coming Home Late Tonight" with them in 1956. It was unsuccessful and she then signed a recording contract with Eldorado Records after performing at Harlem's Apollo Theater. She wrote and released her second single, "Come On Baby" in 1957. Later that year she released "Wait A Minute", and appeared at the Brooklyn Paramount and on Dick Clark's American Bandstand show.
Campbell appeared in the films Johnny Melody, Go Johnny Go, and Hey, Let's Twist in the early 1960s while continuing to release records. She had her biggest hit in August 1962 with "(I'm The Girl On) Wolverton Mountain", an answer record to Claude King's "Wolverton Mountain" (some pressings indicated the title as "I'm The Girl From Wolverton Mountain"). The song reached #38 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In April 1963, she followed up with "Mother, Please! (I'd Rather Do It Myself)", a takeoff on an Anacin television commercial of the day, but this only reached #88.
After marrying Atlantic Records record producer Troy Seals in 1964, Campbell left the music industry.
