June 10, 1942: Janet Vogel of The Skyliners hits the planet!

Janet Vogel,
The Lone Female
in The Skyliners




The Skyliners were originally from Pittsburgh…




Jimmy Beaumont was the lead vocalist and their recording of “Since I Don’t Have You” is one the all-time great recordings in Rock ‘n Roll History…

The lone female member of the group, Janet Vogel (Rapp), provided the beautiful falsetto in the last chorus of the song: Her high notes in "Since I Don't Have You" are priceless…

 "Since I Don't Have You" peaked at #12 in March of 1959, but history has been kind to this recording as it tops many lists as the greatest doo-wop ever recorded…


Janet Vogel-Rapp died at 37 on February 21, 1980 in a garage under her home. The cause of death was Carbon Monoxide Poisoning and was ruled an apparent suicide…
