This story has kept me up at night lately. I wasn't that familiar with it till I came across it on here. This lady is amazing. I could ONLY imagine that night. Sad
I was always touched by her singing and that was something about her that always attracted me. She was a tragic figure. All her life she had problems but singing always brought her joy. I wonder was she one of the bodies identified? We need to remember the victims and their lives, not forget them, that was part of the problems in most of these members lives, being overlooked and ostracized by society. We need to remember their talents and gifts and not just people who drinked the kool aid.
Amazing woman with an amazing voice...you see as she sings on her face how much emotion she has in her...I was amazed from the beginning when I heard this woman sang...and the fact that they all died after this night few hours later just make this song really mysterious. What a melody!±
I've been looking for this video...I saw it on CNN during the Jonestown special, and I thought she was just beautiful and had a lovely voice to match, and the way the song was performed sounded great. Look at all the people...so happy. Breaks your heart. These were good people who just...wow, didn't deserve this at all... I was born in '89, 10 years and 11 months after this horrendous tragedy (for lack of better words)...it brings tears to my eyes...
I've watching the Jonestown documentary and also admiring this woman's singing. A beautiful voice and a great song. She was a great talent, and it's great we have this record of her. She may just been nervous because of the camera crew; she may not have been used to being filmed. Also, with the congressman there it was a tense atmosphere, and kind of a tense atmosphere to begin with.
For anyone that is interested in seeing the full performance, Google search "jonestown stock footage NBC" there is an hour long of raw video footage, Deanna's starts at about 36 minutes in.
Updating this post with more footage from other performances HERE: (archive.org/details/chi_000124) AND (/chi_000115). Very rare as the view count on 1 of them was 28! If you want to see the other stock I found then go HERE: (archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Peoples+Temple%22) or HERE: (www.stockfootageonline.com/index.php?q=keyword_search&edtKeyword=jonestown§ion=keywordsearch&rdbKeyword=1) without the () of course! Whilst I'm here, I might as well ask, does anyone know where I can find the documentary "Witness to Jonestown"? Once a year, I do a search for it with no luck! It has appeared on the US Netflix, but I haven't seen it since. If anyone knows or even has a copy, so that you or even I could upload it to RUclips and other websites that would be very much appreciated :-)
@@wezite1983 Thank you B-Town for the links you posted on Jonestown. I was glad to find the singers name in this video. Deanna Wilkerson had such a beautiful voice. I wish she could have made it out of Jonestown. R.I.P. Deanna Kay Wilkerson.💖🌈🙏
Her name was Deanna Kay Wilkinson. I'm pleased and suprised to see how much I'm not the only one to have been touch in my heart by her brightness beauty (feeling on the voice), even if I was just 4 years old when she died. Life is so strange, don't you think ? Whatever was her life and howlonger it was, she'd never be able to imagine at this moment that the world will now resume it and only keep in eyes's memory exacly this instant of her; and make her famous so many years later for eternity...
Two figures from the tragedy always stick in my mind whenever I think of Jonestown. One of them is this woman and the other is Maria Katsaris, who was interviewed on camera on the day of the deaths.......
There's just a thing I'd like to say her if I could: " Thank you for this pure beauty instant, you looked like an angel. Thank you for me, for us, and all of them, for been able to give so much at so weird and terrible moments. Thank you so much Deanna, you're still alive in our hearts, rest in peace for ever". No doubt she's the onlyone miracle Jim Johes had been able to engender his entiere poor f***ing life.
+Benjamin Medellin I don't believe those two rotten scumbags have time for tea break, as the Devil himself is snacking their bodies and soul for breakfast.
You should check out the podcast Martyr Made - God's Socialist. It is about Jim Jones and the People's Temple and is excellent. Jim Jones was an incredibly kind and generous person that probably suffered from some sort of psychosis and mental breakdown. The producer of the show gives an extremely moving reading of Diana Wilkinson's testimonal in the last 20 mins of episode 4 linked below. It is hard to not get emotional listening to her words of why she joined People's Temple and her reflections on Jim Jones. podcastaddict.com/episode/95484209 via @PodcastAddict
Oh my word, how heartbreaking. I was just 6 when this tragedy happened, and just seeing the pics all over the news scarred me for life. I was deeply frightened of religion and political groups for years afterward.
I wish you could have looked at this on RUclips about a year ago. Someone posted the audio from several meetings and "white nights" at Jonestown and hearing the people speak about social issues back in the states, some of those sisters and brothers were very smart, passionate and conscientious
I just can't imagine not even for a precious moment this amazing woman who sang so beautifully and so wonderfully would be ready to die the following 🌄 aint nobody's ready to die singing hymns for Jesus like that when reality sets in and the dusk settles my mind is telling me the following morning. she had to have been one of the ones standing around crying in the Pavillion I just don't believe she 😢 was willing to die that way. its just horrifically sadened in my heart to know this amazing woman died against her will she was born too sing 💔 😔
Deanna Kay Wilkinson #RestInParadise #RestInPower it's so unfair Jonestown didn't deserve you at all. #Motown's record label would've had you in fucken heartbeat😢💯👈
@MAGirlable I think he went back to Kaituma later. he did not ride to Kaituma with Tim Reiterman. I have read that he joined them later the next day, and was not with them the entire time. He had time to go back with the shooters to jonestown, leave later and join them at Kaituma. JJ and Dwyer knew each other for some time before this happened. Dwyer worked at the US embassy and pulled a lot of strings for JJ.
It was actually the passport photos of the victims on that Jonestown site, seeing them in life, smiling, full of hope and desire, men, women and children, old and young, that gave me the strength to look into the matter. Even though tragic, I have dignity for the vast majority of them, that could happen to most of us.
I wish I was there to see this because that girl could sing!That was my hey day the 60s and the 70s I used to see alot of professional people and not proffesionals sing and they were all good!
There was some information on her on the Alternative Considerations of Jonestown site. There wasn't an article devoted to her per se, but she was mentioned in at least two of the articles I came across
That's right, even on some of the "White Night" recordings where different people would get up and downgrade their family and friends back in the states, I realize what they were under thus, their actions. Rhythm, have you heard the tape of the boys who tried to escape Jonestown?
I echo the same jms8888 only I have yet to see those documentaries but I've been to the sights. I saw a show on ESPN about Jim Jones' black son who survived. He and the basketball team were in Georgetown at the time. I then realized that I never came to grips with it since I was little, so I dove into researching it.
@MzGladden I agree. She seems... not all there. Maybe it has to do with the fact Jonestown was essentially staging this party to give the Concerned Citizens, journalists and Ryan the impression that all was well.
XTL well if you look at her eyes she clearly is not enjoying herself, she seems like she’s giving out the message that she’s trapped there. Deanna Kay Wilkinson wasn’t insane by any measure, she had just suffered all her life, she was actually a talented diesel mechanic. She moved to Jonestown because of her lack of success, and was likely drawn in by Jim Jones’ promise of complete equality.
I wonder what Phillip Bailey, Maurice, Verdine and the crew would be thinking if they were able to here the whole NBC video/audio recording Bob Brown did of her singing that night.
Someone posted these tapes months ago. Leaving the compound was not easy to say the least because of the treacherous terrain (only one dirt road leading to Port Kaituma) and the security team or "Red Brigade" as they were called.
She would have had a very promising future if she never met Jim James Warren Samuel Jones. She was also a skilled diesel mechanic . I looked her up online
Wow! She had an amazing voice. She was one of many lives that was cut too short all in the name of communism and Jim Jones's own cowardice and fear of being exposed for who he really was. She is now one of the flowers of the jungle. Rest in Peace darling.
Beautiful song! It is so hard to picture all of them dead and so into his twisted mentality. I heard he was dementia from the syphilis he had and was passing onto his members both men and women....
She was the adoptive daughter of Jack and Rhievanna?Beam. They were key members of the People's Temple herirarchy especially in Cali. (On the death tape, Jones mentions him "As Jack Beam said, if it only works one day, it was worth it"). Acoording to what I found, Deanna was born in Chicago (1950) and she had probably been in their "custody" for some time.
Race or religion was not really an issue in people drinking the poison. Most people will do whatever they are told by their authorities if they listen to them long enough.
@lisakn27 Dwyer went with the Congressman Leo J Ryan, the News crew and some defectors to the plane right when they were gunned down as well. Jones telling them to get Dwyer out of there was interesting however the fact that he knew Dwyer would not be surprising seeing Jones was the representative of an American based group and dealt with the embassy for several other reasons. Interesting was who they thought Jones said at first. "Ujara" who had attacked the Congressman with a knife
You're right she was adopted by Jack and Rhieanna(?) Beam who were some of the highest ranking members of the People's Temple. I did research on the Alternative Considerations of Jonestown site that she became an out of the closet lesbian. I merely state it, not in anyway to diminish the sista.
@tlthe5th He played a role in this too. he went back to jonestown during JJ's death speech. Jones is heard saying "Get Dwyer out of here". Wtf? He worked at the US embassy in Guyana, so I'm thinking he and JJ were friends or something like that. He allowed this to happen. .turned away,. He knew what was about to happen imo.
@eugeneexaminer My bad Eugene. I meant to say that the recordings I heard were made after the emergency situations were declared to be over. I definitely agree too and never took it as a connotation on race because like you said, it wasn't so
It may and I could be totally wrong, be her girlfriend. Based on some research I did, Deanna was an open lesbian at Jonestown, and ther were others and there was full acknowledgement and acceptance.
@tlthe5th I also thought that maybe JJones became delusional that night after taking drugs. Maybe he was having some sort of delusion and thought Dwyer was there in the pavilion. Seems the people had no idea what he was talking about, even stating "Ujara"..Maybe they thought that is who he meant since they didn't see "dwyer". I find it interesting however that he said "Dwyer" right as the "red brigade" had returned. Maybe Dwyer rode back with the "red brigade"?? We will never know for sure.
yeah she slapped her brother. he didnt even leave a memorial tribute to her in the biggest jonestown website alternative considerations. she was kinda out there i suppose.
this is about diana not maria. i dunno how jones got hooked up with maria anyway. she wasn't pretty and too shy for anything. kept covering her face. geez gimme a break.
Yeah, that was pretty immature. I was drunk when I typed that (drunken YouTubing). If there were a way I could remove both those comments, I would. No excuse for it. Sorry.
@eugeneexaminer I agree wholeheartedly. In the black community today, those who were old enough to bear witness to the events of the People's Temple and thus Jonestown for the most part have this impression of them being completely ignorant and foolish and write the whole situation off to the point where most black people under age 34 only know of Jim Jones the NY rapper.
Its great that she is remembered for that beautiful voice after so many years.
She was so beautiful and had such an amazing voice. Such a shame. She was just 28 in this video. She’d be 67 if she was alive today. R.I.P. Deanna.
This story has kept me up at night lately. I wasn't that familiar with it till I came across it on here.
This lady is amazing. I could ONLY imagine that night.
Sad
rjc She was a very good singer too.
RIP Diana. U had amazing voice, so much talent. Tragic you’re life was taken so soon before u were able to reach your full potential.
She really had some talent. It’s a horrifying to think she was dead the very next day.
I was always touched by her singing and that was something about her that always attracted me. She was a tragic figure. All her life she had problems but singing always brought her joy. I wonder was she one of the bodies identified? We need to remember the victims and their lives, not forget them, that was part of the problems in most of these members lives, being overlooked and ostracized by society.

Earth, Wind & Fire - That's The Way Of The World
This lady could really sing. If she had taken a different road and had never met JJones, she might have been a famous singer. Her voice is great!
"Everything up to that point.. was good" - understatement. RIP
Rest in peace, hope i see you singing in paradise.
Their music ministry seems like it was awesomeness!!!! Peace and love to that sistas family.
As I watch her singing, she appears stoned or kinda dazed...does anyone else see this?
MzGladden she’s not happy, she was forced to do this. Her eyes are telling the message that she wants to get the hell out of there.
God only knows what those people were given before the tragedy.
Two figures from the tragedy always stick in my mind whenever I think of Jonestown. One of them is this woman and the other is Maria Katsaris, who was interviewed on camera on the day of the deaths.......
0:25 seeing this elder lady (light green top) always makes me feel extra sad for some reason. 😏😔
So much promise... So sad
She would have made it in show biz for real! 😢
There's just a thing I'd like to say her if I could: " Thank you for this pure beauty instant, you looked like an angel.

I learned from old NBC archives that her name was Diane.

thats a groovey song !!!!!!!
GREAT VERSION OF THIS WONDERFUL SONG !! FUTURE DISAPPEAR IN THE LYRICS, HAUNTINGLY SO !!!
With that much talent and beauty, she was most likely being abused and exploited by JJones behind the scenes. Her eyes have no life in them. 😐
I so agree. Her eyes look very sad. She was so gifted.
Thanks dilwad, I was wondering also what song that was. I thought it sound familiar. I like her singing.
@lisakn27 According to Tim Reiterman (one of the journalists accompanying Ryan) Dwyer remained with the party at Kaituma through the night.
That's right, even on some of the "White Night" recordings where different people would get up and downgrade their family and friends back in the states, I realize what they were under thus, their actions. Rhythm, have you heard the tape of the boys who tried to escape Jonestown?

researched a bit on imdb and the "official" jonestown-page (don't remember its name)
Someone posted these tapes months ago. Leaving the compound was not easy to say the least because of the treacherous terrain (only one dirt road leading to Port Kaituma) and the security team or "Red Brigade" as they were called.
She would have turned 70 this year. An awful tragedy.
It was a popular Earth Wind and Fire song.

I don't have any more footage
Maybe you should contact symphony999 for more info
I don't think she looks paranoid, I think she was just truly into the song she was singing...
Beautiful song! It is so hard to picture all of them dead and so into his twisted mentality. I heard he was dementia from the syphilis he had and was passing onto his members both men and women....
awesome version of this song! crazy to think all these happy looking people died the next day =(
@jennisa99 Beautifully said. At least we have this fragment from her life so we can remember her when she was joyful for at least a moment
@danadre0101 I am glad such a thoughtful person like you did not run away. Very good comments

@MusicandDancing4Ever sounds like u were there...did u know her? omg
Her name was Deanna/Diane Wilkerson. She was a singer/mechanic. She was gay, and was adopted as a teenager by a white family in Peoples Temple.
So who the hell was the lady on the stage in the white jumper..what was her purpose for being up there? The clapper?
WebbanationX Lol
Unfortunately, it ended along with her life not even 24 hours after she was filmed.
What happened to her singing career?
What's the name of the song she's singing?
What a waste of a beautiful talent.
Right if only she didnt cross paths with Jim
look at my video description
and I think she also used another name
I'll check it out.
Race or religion was not really an issue in people drinking the poison. Most people will do whatever they are told by their authorities if they listen to them long enough.

I think she was a backup singer for one of the other songs they p[layed, but would look wierd if she walked off right.
Yeah, it gets harder and harder to land a good record contract these days.
You're right she was adopted by Jack and Rhieanna(?) Beam who were some of the highest ranking members of the People's Temple. I did research on the Alternative Considerations of Jonestown site that she became an out of the closet lesbian. I merely state it, not in anyway to diminish the sista.

What if you saw her walking down the street normal would you be scared lol?
This singer sounds so beautiful but looks so paranoid. You can see it in her eyes. What a horrible tragedy.

Jonestown's a sad tragedy!
@eugeneexaminer OK didn't know that.
@alleyoop999 So?
People died here. Please show respect. It is disturbing to see people making such vulgar comments.
yeah she slapped her brother. he didnt even leave a memorial tribute to her in the biggest jonestown website alternative considerations. she was kinda out there i suppose.
this is about diana not maria. i dunno how jones got hooked up with maria anyway. she wasn't pretty and too shy for anything. kept covering her face. geez gimme a break.
Yeah, that was pretty immature. I was drunk when I typed that (drunken YouTubing). If there were a way I could remove both those comments, I would. No excuse for it. Sorry.
I can't believe how brainwashed people can be. This guy was showing all kinds of sicko.
@eugeneexaminer I agree wholeheartedly.

you know what...thinking about it...paranoia could have been apart as well...
What a waste. Such a beautiful person and singer. Terrible.
What's the name of the song she is singing?
