Jo Ann Campbell - Let Me Do My Twist (Hey, Let's Twist - filmed at Peppermint Lounge 1961)
Jo Ann Campbell occupies a special niche in rock & roll. For starters, she wrote songs, and they were good enough to get released as singles, not buried on her albums. Her most successful records were clearly in a mainstream pop music vein, anticipating the work of teen girl pop singers such as Shelley Fabares, but she could also rock out like Wanda Jackson. A surprising number of her recordings were rough and tough, their obvious "cute" quotient balanced by Campbell's occasional raspy-throated delivery, which betrayed lust, or at least a healthy female libido in need of stroking. And the song that remains the best known today, "Mama, Can I Go Out?" (which never charted but was featured in Alan Freed's jukebox movie Go Johnny Go), is a great tribute to healthy female interest in the opposi...

Yes, I'm the girl
From Wolverton Mountain
I wish someone would
Make me their wife
I can't help being lonesome

Were sweeter than honey
But how do the...

Jo Ann Campbell occupies a special niche in rock & roll. For starters, she wrote songs, and they were good enough to get released as singles, not buried on her albums. Her most successful records were clearly in a mainstream pop music vein, anticipating the work of teen girl pop singers such as Shelley Fabares, but she could also rock out like Wanda Jackson. A surprising number of her recordings were rough and tough, their obvious "cute" quotient balanced by Campbell's occasional raspy-throated delivery, which betrayed lust, or at least a healthy female libido in need of stroking. And the song that remains the best known today, "Mama, Can I Go Out?" (which never charted but was featured in Alan Freed's jukebox movie Go Johnny Go), is a great tribute to healthy female interest in the opposite sex -- which, as we know, was at least half of what rock & roll was ultimately supposed to be about.
Campbell took music and dance lessons as a child, and was drum majorette at Fletcher High School in Jacksonville, Florida. At age 16, in 1955, she did a USO tour of Europe as a dancer -- such tours didn't pay anything, but gave the participants a chance to travel and see the world while honing their skills as entertainers and performers, and this was precisely what Campbell did. When the tour was over, she felt ready for the big time and headed for New York, where she initially joined the Johnny Conrad Dancers. It was while in New York that she decided to try singing. She was fortunate enough to get featured on television's Colgate Comedy Hour and The Milton Berle Show, and later proved a huge success at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. In 1956, she was signed to the Eldorado label, which had her record an original song, "Come On Baby," as her debut single. This was followed by a more conventional pop standard, Campbell's cover of "I Can't Give You Anything But Love."
Neither single was a success, however, and by the end of 1957, Campbell had switched to George Goldner's Gone Records label, most famous as the company for which Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers recorded their hits. Campbell's records took on a more rocking beat at Gone, in keeping with the changes overtaking popular music - her 1958 singles included "Rock 'N Roll Love" backed with the far hotter B-side "You're Driving Me Mad," which was good enough to be featured on the 1980s underground compilation Hot Boppin' Girls, Volume 2. She cut one more original that year, "Wassa Matter With You Babe," but neither it nor its follow-up, "I'm Nobody's Baby," managed to chart. Campbell's singing ability was beyond question, however, and coupled with her extraordinary good looks -- with her creamy complexion and blonde hair, and expressive eyes, she managed to look lustful and innocent at the same time - she rated a place on the bill at Alan Freed's Brooklyn Paramount Show, the biggest rock & roll and R&B stage show in the nation, and on Freed's package tour, and, in turn, got a featured spot in Freed's jukebox movie Go Johnny Go. There for millions of viewers to discover across the generations was Jo Ann Campbell, introduced by Alan Freed in the film as "our little blonde bombshell," alternately strutting and gliding across screen, pouting sweetly but with a lusty gleam in her eye to the strains of "Mama, Can I Go Out?" It was one of several high points in the movie, even if the single itself, on Gone Records, didn't chart as a result.
Campbell's subsequent single that year, the teen lament "I Ain't No Steady Date," did little better, despite a great beat and a cute spoken-word middle section. By 1960, she had moved to ABC Records, where she finally struck a modest hit with "A Kookie Little Paradise." Campbell retired in the mid-1960s, and most of her exposure since then has been from the movie Go Johnny Go in its periodic showings. Her reputation was sufficient, however, to get her Gone sides reissued on an LP (The Blonde Bombshell) of dubious legality in Europe (where they revere American pop and rock & roll of the 1950s) in the early 1980s, as well as justifying a legitimate reissue of her ABC sides on Murray Hill in the United States. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide

Recorded Circa 12 September 1962 Bell Sound Studio,237 West 54th. Street,NYC - Jo Ann Campbell (vcl solo)

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.

Some pressings showed the title as "(I'm The Girl On) Wolverton Mountain". The song reached No. 38 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In April 1963, she followed up with "Mother, Please! (I'd Rather Do It Myself)", a take-off on an Anacin television commercial of the day, but this reached No. 88.
After marrying Atlantic Records record producer Troy Seals in 1964, Campbell left the music industry.

Lyrics:
Yes, I'm the girl
From Wolverton Mountain
I wish someone would
Make me their wife
I can't help being lonesome
On Wolverton Mountain
When your daddy's handy
With a gun and a knife
(CHORUS) They said my lips
Were sweeter than honey
But how do they know
When no one's made the dare
I hate the bears and the birds
On Wolverton Mountain
They tell my daddy
And it just ain't fair
Many a lad has tried
To climb this mountain
But they never seem
To reach the top
My daddy, Clifton Clowers
Is always there to meet them
His gun and a knife
Bring them to a stop
(CHORUS)
Yes, I'm the girl
From Wolverton Mountain
And if something don't change
I'll be an old maid all my life
But I keep hoping somebody
Will climb this mountain
And take me to the valley
To be his wife
(CHORUS)
There'll be somebody
Who really loves me and
He'll climb up on the mountain
He won't be killed by Clifton Clowers...

Jo Ann Campbell had it all – looks, talent, and great records. In just two years she went from a wide-eyed fan at an Alan Freed rock ’n ’roll revue to becoming one of Freed’s most popular stars. She performed for thousands of fans, proving that she could rock just as hard as any of her male contemporaries, and she wrote her own songs and recorded numbers by some of the top songwriters of the day. Although she only scored a few national hits, her recordings for Eldorado, Gone, Rori and ABC-Paramount mixed a cute, girl-next-door charm with lusty, growling rock ’n’ roll vocals in such classics as Come On Baby, You’re Drivin’ Me Mad, Wassa Matter With You Baby, Mama (Can I Go Out Tonite), Boogie Woogie Country Girl and many more.
Jo Ann Campbell’s CD, the newest installment in Bear Family’s ‘Jukebox Pearls’ series focuses on the original ‘Blonde Bombshell’ with 37 tracks that comprise a comprehensive overview of the best of her rock ’n’ roll recordings from 1956 to 1962. The set includes her rare, debut single for Point Records, I’m Coming Home Late Tonight b/w Where Ever You Go, along with several previously unreleased numbers. It’s the essential collection of an unheralded and all-too-often overlooked Queen of Rock’n’Roll!
