Jon Jon Poulos(1947-1980)
Jon Jon Poulos was born in the spring of 1947 in Chicago, Illinois to
Ann and John Sr., the youngest child in a family of proud Greek
heritage. Growing up, he found a love in music and teamed up with
former The Buckinghams lead singer
Dennis Tufano to form a group called The
Pulsations later to become The Buckinghams. By 1970 when the group
decided to part ways, Poulos got into artistic management and stayed in
the field until his untimely death in the spring of 1980. He died at
his home in Chicago from a drug overdose five days before his 33rd
birthday. He left behind a wide legacy and to this day is still
considered one of the most popular drummers of the 1960s.
