Damita Jo DuBlanc has been active in both music and comedy since the '50s. She was twice featured vocalist with Steve Gibson and the Red Caps, from 1951 to 1953 and 1959 to 1960, while also married to Gibson. She later was a regular on the Redd Foxx television series. Jo had two Top 20 RB singles in 1960 and 1961, with "I'll Save The Last Dance For You" being a clever answer record to the Drifters' "Save the Last Dance for Me." Her 1961 single "I'll Be There" peaked at 12 on the pop charts and was a number 15 RB hit.
