Jaibi

Since the 1990s, her recordings have been included on several compilations, including two volumes of Dave Godin's Deep Soul Treasures: Taken from the Vaults, and Larry Banks' Soul Family Album, released by Ace Records in 2007.

She and Larry Banks later moved to Hollis, Queens and had one son, Corey L. Banks, who went on to become a rapper during the Golden Age of Hip-Hop. After she and Larry Banks divorced, Joan Banks completed her schooling, acquiring a master's degree in computer programming. Joan continued her life as an accomplished and successful computer programmer analyst for companies such as Polygram Records, IBM and finally reaching a high-level position at the Transamerica Corporation. She died of leukemia, on September 4, 1984; official records give her name at that time as Joan Pulliam Myer.

Born Joan Carol Pulliam, and later known as Joan Bates after her marriage to her first husband Anthony Bates Sr., she first recorded with a group, the Pleasures, in 1964–65. However, she is best known for her solo records, "You Got Me" / "What Good Am I" and "It Was Like A Nightmare". These were issued on Kapp Records in 1967, co-written and produced by her second husband Larry Banks, previously the husband of singer Bessie Banks. Joan and Larry married in 1965; they also wrote songs together. Her records were not successful in terms of sales and, after a few more recordings up to 1968, some with her husband as Lawrence & Jaibi, her musical career ended.

Jaibi was the stage name of the American soul singer Joan Banks (February 6, 1943 – September 4, 1984).
