I met her backstage of the Opry, and she was a pearl. She was also beautiful but I remember how sweet. She always wore a small band on her forehead and hair.
Good to see Janie doing well. Always one of my favorites. She used to come up to the Hodag festival and always put on a great show. Sounds really good and pretty as a picture. Burlington Bill busking on You Tube and on the road!
In tender,loving memory of Mrs. Norah Lee Allen who for many years sang backup vocals for the Grand Ole Opry and many country artists. She began singing background vocals with the Carol Lee Cooper Singers. Norah took the helm after Carol Lee retired in 2012. She was the wife of Duane Allen lead singer of The Oak Ridge Boys. They were married for fifty four years and had two children and four grandchildren. Mrs. Allen joined Heaven’s choir on March 31st,2024 at the age of 76. She is survived by her husband Duane and her daughter Jamie (Paul) Martin of Hendersonville, Tennessee and her son Dee of Nashville, Tennessee. Her four grandchildren March,Kell,Texas, and Tallant Martin all of Hendersonville. She is also survived by her brother in law George Sells and her sister in law Martha Shannon and her nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, sisters Lana Miller and Sandra Sells, her brother in law Maurice Miller, her infant daughter Julie Anna, and her infant great nephews Reid and Randon Miller. She will be greatly missed by many. Another family member who has joined the Unbroken Circle.
I have a picture of playing/singing with Janie when we were in early high school. I wish that I had her contact information so I could send it to her. We both would later end up at Indiana University where she quickly immersed herself into her music career.
My Uncle had a very popular Booking Agency in the 70’s and Janie was on his roster. And she was (IS) just a delight. And I can remember so many songs growing up where her signature vocal technique would just captivate me and I couldn’t wait to hear the song again. And I love this up tempo version of this song. Well Janaa. Also, this episode CFR of the Ray Price songs was done so well. I LOVE that they did it with his GORGEOUS WIFE. She was always a sweetheart and Ray ADORED HER, he spoke so sweetly of her. And listen, everyone’s heard the stories of big stars, behind the scenes of their shows hitting on women and “hooking up” with everything that moved. Well, that WAS NEVER MR Ray Price. I was a Christian and I didn’t fancy that kind of thing so I’d go somewhere and read a book or just sit and play my guitar. And all of a sudden, you’d look up and Ray would be in a corner reading the paper, or just sitting there listening to YOU. That was kind of cool. But He was such a class act! What a true talent and just a kind man.
Such a deep song that crushes ones gut for sure. When Engelbert sings this on his CD l by place it.....because the D word hit me....and not by choice......but l listened to this lady sing it and it was a different meaning for me hearing a females voice on this tune.....
I love this ole'country gal, Janie Fricke is the best awesome 👌 singer, she's on "Fire," (as my beloved husband would say it) this one's for my Jer-Bear❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Still sounds absolutely amazing. Such a fantastic singer.
Always liked Janie..Her singing always makes me stop what I am doing just to listen to that incredible voice.
I've always loved Janie's singing. Loved the song "It Ain't Easy Being Easy." I still have one of her tapes.
Mark Gray wrote that song, RIP Mark. She is such a sweet lady and super vocalist!

Englebert Humperdinck...the Anglo-Indian lad from Madras made this a super hit.
From where 😂
@scotsquine7870 you wouldn't know
I like Engelbert and I love Janie! ❤
Janie was great with Johnny Duncan and Haggard/Janie on When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again were awesome.😊
I love this song ❤ so romantic love ❤❤
Nikt nigdy nie dorówna engelbertowi.❤
A song made famous by the late Ray Price and the legendary Patti Page
And Kitty Wells.
No way she sings great❤
AH the late J Capps ....he was good one.
Very nice voice and elegant ,attractive lady !
I got the pleasure of seeing her in Grove City she opened with McGuffey lane Bellamy brothers and Dwight yoakum
Wow,,, haven't seen ya for awhile. Hello.
👏👏👏
Sie ist gut
I believe Janie still lives in Wilmer Texas a very small town outside of Dallas. She was actually the mayor in 2009..of Wilmer that is
I first saw her with Merle Haggard.
Looking for Janie Frike
you got to go a long way to find better musicians than a country band.
You sound and look like a 30 year old!!!💐
Yes she does! She looks awesome!
❤❤❤🩹
This song fit for male singer mdam leave it to engelbert.
Nice, but.... this divine song "belongs" only to Engelbert Humperdinck
i am sorry but nobody can sing that song like englebert humperdink
With all due respect to Janie, but Release me certainly belongs to Engelbert , no singer sings it like him
Great job, but video appears to be lip sync...Sadly
It is not
@@scottharris5652
Very sad even puppies get sick also
Very nice Darling...⚘️
Leave it to Engelbert Humperdink.
