She was born Giovanna Carmella Babbo.
This Italian-American singer came from Chicago.
In 1952, "Why Don't You Believe Me" went to number one.
She had six more top ten hits before the fifties were done.
Through seven decades, Joni has proven quite able.
All of her music was released on the MGM label.
Joni is still around as of 2020.
Her entertainment career continues at the age of ninety.
I thank both wikipedia.org and www.jonijames.com for valuable information I obtained to write this poem.

A LOST ANGEL
by
Carmella Adkins Hohner
A lost angel is forever found today
he shall be with you in heart and spirit
he is in no more pain happiness is all he'll see
A lost angel returned home today
he shall be watching from above
A lost angel is lost no more
So dry your tears wipe your eyes
For your angel is living in eternity .
you shall see him there someday.
YOUR LOST ANGEL IS LOST NO MORE

Your Love is always near by
I can't wipe the tears from your eyes
I can't take away the hurt you feel inside
knowing the pain that you are struggling with
hoping you will find comfort from within
the tears that flow are tears of love
the love your missing is always at your side
never think your all alone for your Love is always near by !

I'm going up on that mountain, way up on that mountain top.
maybe i'll get a glimpse of that heavenly road just a glimpse
will do
I'm going up on that mountain top where the skies are so blue
where the stars blanket that heavenly sky
i need to vision what it would be like to to see my lord my savior.
where all my loved ones have made their final journey home.
I'm going up way up on that mountain. way up on that mountain top.
where angels will show me the way guiding me up that rough and rocky road
I'm going up. way way up on that mountain top .
for on that mountain top i can look over the horizon and see forever.
where my heart seems to be filled with peace and tranquility
where all my hurt is faded away
I'm going up way way up on that mountain top
hope you will join me too!
