January Jones

January Jones (the stage name of Jacqueline Allison) is an American pop singer, active mainly in the 1960s and 1970s. She was active in Las Vegas and appeared in several Scopitone videos.

Jones appeared at venues including the Persian Room at the Plaza Hotel, the Sahara Hotel, the Eden Roc Hotel and the Latin Casino.

She appeared on television shows including Girl Talk, The Merv Griffin Show, The Mike Douglas Show, That Regis Philbin Show and The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (nine appearances). All these appearances were between 1963 and 1967, except for her last two Tonight Show appearances, which were in 1975.

Earl Wilson called her the "Scopitone queen, drawing more quarters on those [video jukebox] machines than anybody else". She often appeared in a bikini in these videos.

Jones, from Chicago, was a cocktail waitress in Las Vegas before becoming a performer. Her first manager (whom she married two weeks after meeting, and later divorced) made her change her name from Jaqueline Allison to January Jones. According to Jones, "He wanted to associate me with the calendar. He said I was like a Vargas girl in Playboy".

She took a hiatus for marriage and children in the late 1960s and early 1970s, returning to the stage in 1973 but retiring later.[citation needed ]
