Nancy Overton Dies

Nancy Overton, who joined the pop group the Chordettes in 1958 and melded her mellifluous low tones into their barbershop-quartet-like harmonies on some of their later hits, died on Sunday in Blairstown, N.J. She was 83 and lived in Hackettstown, N.J.

The cause was esophageal cancer, her son Rick said.

…

She married Hall Overton, a jazz pianist, in 1946; he died in 1972. Besides her son Rick, of Los Angeles, Ms. Overton is survived by another son, Steven, of Placitas, N.M.

Rest In Peace, Nancy.
