Jo-Ann Kelly, data dump for citations
Some of these are good, some are iffy.

 * Artist Biography by Chris Nickson It's unclear if Allmusic is the origin for this bio, but most others I checked for the text are derivative. It's clear that Nickson wrote many artist biographies for allmusic, so many I think he might have been commissioned or paid. The search results are a long list. I stopped counting at 50 and there were more.


 * Obituary: Steve Rye by ROB MASON, Wednesday 22 July 1992 00:02 Obit for Rye but several sentences about Jo-Ann Kelly.


 * allaboutbluesmusic.com with three or four paras. Minor ref if it's a RS.


 * Obit for Bob Glass by Simon Prager, Wed 19 Apr 2006 19.01 EDT. Partner of Kelly (mid-1960s to ?), influence on Kelly and others in that circle.


 * Screenshot of Kelly appearance at the Gaslight Cafe, Greenwich Village. But the text, oh my. Sexism from 1970 is very, very special. I don't think any of the text is usable.


 * Personal Reflections of Jo Ann Kelly 1. BBR Boogie Magazine 1990 Michael Prince, 2. Alan Balfour (Blues & Rhythm 57, Dec 1990), from the British Blues Archive. Looks like Balfour put these pieces together?

Discography
Seems pretty complete for her major albums and compilations. Is Discogs a RS? No idea. Except for her early albums where there are multiple sources for release dates, I'm not so sure about releases after 1990.

Current sources evaluation
The external sources in the article needs overhauling.
 * Illustrated Jo Ann Kelly discography
 * While it is incredibly detailed, it also includes photos of covers of albums and other material that is probably copyrighted. A really complete discography for a fan site but not for WP where it would contributing to copyright infringement.


 * Blues Matters! catalogue
 * This isn't remotely worth including. It's an internet archived version of one album for sale in 2007. The bluesmatters.com site for the magazine is still around but contents of the archives are behind a paywall. Pity since it looks like they included Kelly in articles and interviews from very early on.


 * Or without the template
 * Since "MusicBrainz is a community-maintained open source encyclopedia of music information.", it is mostly user contributed content. Not really a good source, even in the external links section, which allows for *some* leeway in linkage. It's also clear (to me) this isn't a complete discography if it doesn't include all primary releases during the artist's lifetime.
