| Janie started singing in a small hometown church, then evolved into singing gigs in coffeehouses and school events. She embarked on a musical career in earnest after obtaining a degree in elementary education and became a successful jingle singer in Dallas, Los Angeles, and Memphis TN before settling in Nashville. As one of the marketing industry's most successful jingle singers, Janie Fricke's voice became known to millions as the voice for such advertising giants as United Airlines, Coca-Cola, 7-Up, and Red Lobster. Her voice has led her to singing sessions for Country artists such as Loretta Lynn, Eddie Rabbitt, Crystal Gayle, Ronnie Milsap, Barbara Mandrell, Mel Tillis, Johnny Duncan and others. She has also been given the privilege to sing on albums for Charlie Rich and Elvis Presley, after their deaths. | |||
| The music industry took notice as her voice was heard on duets with Merle Haggard, Moe Bandy and others, leading her to her first major recording contract. Fricke soon began to dominate the country charts with smash hits such as Don't Worry ' Bout Me Baby, He's a Heartache, and You're Heart's Not In It. Twice she has been nominated for the coveted Grammy Award, once for her It ain't Easy Being Easy. In her recording career, Janie has released 23 albums and 36 hit singles. | |||
