In the 1960s and early 1970s, singer and occasional actress "Jennifer Warnes" was known professionally on television and on her recordings as "Jennifer," and sometimes as "Jennifer Warren" (a name suggested by her agent). By the mid-1970s, she changed her professional name to her birth name, "Jennifer Warnes" because the actress "Jennifer Warren" had by that time gotten the right to use the name professionally.
