June Bateman
R&B/Soul
A.k.a. Marian June Batemon June Watts
June Bateman (born Marian June Batemon on November 17th 1939 at Schulenburg, Tx) has came with her parents at an early age to New York, living in Brooklyn. Still a teenager, she started to sing with local groups like The Marquis. But this is only when she met (and quickly married) the famous sax player Noble Watts, that she embarked in a fully musical professional career. As the featured singer of her husband's orchestra, she recorded a string of excellent 45s between blues, R&B and Rock'n'roll, some of them (Possum belly overalls) having even become "classics". She gave up her musical career during the late 60's to take care of her family. In 1984, she followed Noble Watts to his native DeLand (Florida) where she is still living and playing an active part for the local, great annual Noble "Thin Man"Watts festival.
