- 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.
