Viola Mae Wilkerson. American singer. Born: 30 December 1939 in Watts, Los Angeles, California, USA. Died: 6 May 2009 in Phoenix, Arizona, USA (aged 69). A pre-stardom Barry White began using singer Viola Wills as a session vocalist on sides that he produced for Bob Keane's Bronco Records/Mustang Records labels. In the mid-1960s, Keane —known for hits by Ritchie Valens, the Bobby Fuller Four, and Johnny Crawford of ABC-TV's hit western "The Rifleman"— wanted to expand into soul music. In 1965, A&R director White signed Wills to Bronco as a solo artist. She recorded several sides for the label, which all failed to chart.
