[ Post a Response | JIM REEVES FAN FORUM ]
Posted by JULIE (Webmistress) on September 5, 2007, 4:48 pm, in reply to "Janis Martin" But it was Jim who headed up the April 1957 tour to Europe on which Janis was a guest performer. Jim also introduced her the first time she appeared on the Grand Ole Opry. I know that Larry has Janis in his forthcoming book on Jim and details of their tour. Jim and Janis also played other shows together. Larry tells me that Janis lost her adult son earlier this year and had taken it very hard. Shortly after this she learned she had cancer. We extend our condolences to Janis' family. You can read her obit in the New York Times by clicking below. -- Julie

Most of the obituaries we've read on Janis Martin, who passed away Monday, fail to mention Jim Reeves, though some of them HAVE mentioned she went on a USO tour with Hank Locklin and Del Wood.
