Valerie Brown
Josie and the Pussycats | Character
Valerie Brown plays the tambourines. The voice of reason in the Josie and the Pussycats group, Valerie is highly intelligent and a mechanical wizard. The speaking voice was provided by Barbara Pariot, the singing voice by Patrice Holloway.
The Valerie character was the first African-American female character on a regular Saturday morning cartoon series. The Hardy Boys drummer Pete Jones had been the first African-American male to appear on Saturday mornings a year earlier, and Hanna-Barbera also introduced a Harlem Globetrotters series, which featured an African-American drummer named Pete Jones (portrayed by real-life session drummer Bob Crowder in live segments), and it aired in 1969, a year before Josie and the Pussycats.
