Nancy Overton (1926–2009) was an American singer best known as a member of the popular 1950s vocal group The Chordettes, whose hits included “Lollipop” and “Mr. Sandman.” Born Anne Swain in Port Washington, New York, she joined The Chordettes in 1958, the same year “Lollipop” became a national hit. Before joining the group, she performed with other vocal ensembles and married composer and arranger Hall Overton, who was known for his work with jazz pianist Thelonious Monk.

Overton had strong ties to Englewood, New Jersey, where she lived for many years while raising her family. In 1966, she and her husband moved to Englewood and settled on Hudson Avenue, reportedly at the encouragement of jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie, who lived nearby. While raising her children, she worked in publishing and remained active in the community. Her son, Rick Overton, later became a well-known comedian, actor, and screenwriter. During her years in Englewood, Nancy occasionally returned to the stage, including appearances at events connected to Dwight Morrow High School and later Chordettes reunion performances.

Nancy Overton died in 2009 at the age of 83. Her connection to Englewood reflects the city's long history as a home to artists, musicians, and entertainers who contributed to American cultural life.
