About
Joanne Catherall (born 18 September 1962) is an English singer who is one of two female vocalists in the English synth-pop band the Human League.
In 1980, when Catherall had just turned 18 and was still at school doing A levels, she and her best friend Susan Ann Sulley were discovered in Sheffield's Crazy Daisy Nightclub by Philip Oakey, the lead singer and a founding member of the Human League. At his invitation, the pair then joined Oakey as he formed a new and subsequently commercially successful line-up of the band, following the acrimonious departure of two other founding members of the band.
Catherall has remained in the band ever since, and is a joint business partner in the band (along with Oakey and Sulley), which continues to perform today.

Joanne Catherall (née le 18 septembre 1962) est une chanteuse anglaise membre du groupe de synth-pop anglais The Human League.
En 1980, alors que Catherall vient d'avoir 18 ans et est encore à l'école pour passer ses examens de niveau A, elle et sa meilleure amie Susan Ann Sulley sont découvertes dans la discothèque Crazy Daisy (en) de Sheffield par Philip Oakey (en), chanteur principal et membre fondateur de Human League. Sur son invitation, le duo rejoint Oakey, qui reforme alors le groupe à la suite du départ acrimonieux de deux autres membres fondateurs. Il s'ensuit un succès commercial.
Catherall reste dans le groupe, qui continue de se produire aujourd'hui, et en est une partenaire commerciale (avec Oakey et Sulley).
