"Texas" Jean Valli was a hillbilly music singer.[1] She was raised in Carbondale, Pennsylvania and started playing country-western music at age 13. After high school she moved to Syracuse, New York.[2] 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.[2][3][4] In the early 1950s she performed with Milton Berle.[5]
