~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
John O'Banion (16 February 1947 14 February 2007) was an American vocalist and actor.
He was born in Kokomo, Indiana in 1947 and was performing in theater by the age of 13 as well as in a local Indiana band "Hog Honda & the Chain Guards." By age 15, he hosted his own radio show on WIOU and had hosted his own local television show by age 20.

John was the lead singer in Doc Severinsen's band, "Today's Children". He was managed by Bud Robinson, also Doc's manager. They parted ways in early 1974. O'Banion said that Johnny Carson was a big fan and supporter of his career. John made five appearances on Carson's "Tonight Show", as many on Merv Griffin's and Mike Douglas' shows. He also appeared on American Bandstand, Solid Gold, and was the winning singer of the pilot of Star Search.

His song "Love You Like I Never Loved Before" was a hit single in 1981, making it to #24 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. O'Banion won the prestigious Tokyo Music Festival Award in 1982, with "I Don't Want To Lose Your Love", later sung by Crystal Gayle on her 1983 album Cage The Songbird, achieving as a single release, the #2 spot on Billboard's country music chart. John also got the attention of his Japanese fans with two songs written and sung for the samurai/fantasy epic Satomi Hakken Den (Legend of the Eight Samurai), with those songs being "I Don't Want This Night To End" (called Satomi Hakken in Japan) and "White Light".

He also appeared in the films Borderline with Charles Bronson, TV movie Courage with Sofia Loren and Billy Dee Williams and starred in the 1990 independent film The Judas Project. In 1997 he released an album with jazz cover versions of such contemporary hits, such as "I'm Not in Love" (10CC), "What You Won't Do For Love" (Bobby Caldwell) and the title track "Hearts" (Marty Balin).

Just two days shy of his 60th birthday, O'Banion died of blunt force trauma as a result of an accident he suffered while touring in New Orleans, Louisiana. He died at his home in Los Angeles, California surrounded by friends and family. He had been battling the long term effects received as a result of the trauma to the head following the incident in New Orleans.
