"Texas" Jean Valli was a hillbilly music singer. She was raised in Carbondale, Pennsylvania and started playing country-western music at age 13. After high school she moved to Syracuse, New York. She appeared on television and collaborated with singers such as Hank Williams. Frankie Valli took his stage surname from her; he states he was introduced to music publishers as her brother. In the early 1950s she performed with Milton Berle.
