Early life

Fricke was born in South Whitley, Indiana and learned piano and guitar as a child; her first vocal influences were folkies like Joan Baez and Judy Collins, but she fell in love with country music, as well.[1] While in college, Fricke was a singer at local coffeehouses around the area. She sang radio jingles and commercial jingles in Memphis, Tennessee. She then decided to move to Nashville, Tennessee in 1975. Here Fricke, became a back-up singer.

Recording career in the 80s

In 1977, Fricke released her very first single, called "What You're Doing Tonight", which was just shy of two spots to reach the Country music Top Twenty charts. Fricke worked with Charlie Rich on the duet, "On My Knees", which became a #1 hit in 1978.

As for Fricke's success as a solo artist, none of her songs really caught any wind, with many of the singles becoming Top 30 hits, with a couple of exceptions being the Top 20 hits "Please Help Me, I'm Falling (In Love With You)" in 1978 and "I'll Love Away Your Troubles For A While" in 1979.

Billy Sherrill suggested that Fricke would try to find her own style in Country music, and not various styles.[citation needed] He thought finding Fricke's own style would make her more successful in the Country Music field. Soon, Fricke found her very own style.[citation needed] This time, Fricke decided to focus more on ballads.[citation needed] However, it still took some time before Fricke was a star.

That year, she also released a debut album called I Need Someone to Hold Me When I Cry, which was a success.[citation needed] However, this only hinted the success Fricke would later have in the music business.


In 1983, Fricke released many songs. One of the first that was released was the song "It Ain't Easy Bein' Easy." The song became very successful, even more successful than her other hits, and it went to the #1 spot that year. He's a Heartache" also went to #1. Her other #1 that year included the song, "Don't Worry About Me Baby", as well as "Tell Me a Lie". CBS Records released a Fricke album, It Ain't Easy.

In 1982 and 1983, she was named by the Country Music Association as the "Female Vocalist of the Year." During this time, Fricke was open to other styles. She tried recording more up-tempo songs, some of these in which became hits. She also worked with various producers during this time, like Jim Ed Norman and Bob Montgomery. Her sound shifted a lot between Country and Pop-sounding, depending on the producer she was working with at the time. Between 1984 and 1986, Fricke racked up a string of Top Ten hit singles, like "She's Single Again" (which went to the #2 spot), "The First Word In Memory Is Me" and "Somebody Else's Fire". Fricke continued to receive more awards from various associations. In 1986, Fricke had her last #1 hit, with "Always Have, Always Will." Fricke still continued to record and perform and tour around the country. She had her last Top Ten Country hit in 1986, "Easy to Please".

Decline & comeback

By the late 1980s, Fricke's hits started to taper off, as rootsy "neotraditionalist" artists supplanted smooth pop-country singers like Fricke on the charts. Her last top-forty country single was 1987's "From Time to Time (It Feels Like Love Again)", a duet with Larry Gatlin. During the 1990s, she recorded sporadically for "Branson Records" and "Intersound Records". She remained visible by way of her appearances on The Nashville Network, specifically being a regular on The Statler Brothers Show, a ratings success for TNN during the '90s. On the Intersound, she released her first Gospel album, Hymns of Faith. In 2000, she had a comeback tour and a new album, Bouncin' Back. She also released a live album, Live at Billy Bob's Texas. In 2004, Fricke recorded and released a bluegrass album, entitled The Bluegrass Sessions. The album featured bluegrass versions of Fricke's biggest hits from the 1980s.

Janie Fricke - Biography - AOL Music (411 words)
Janie Fricke was one of the most popular female country singers of the '80s, racking up an enviable string of hits and proving herself a versatile vocalist with a particular flair for ballads.
Fricke was born in South Whitney, IN, in 1952 and learned piano and guitar as a child; her first vocal influences were folkies like Joan Baez and Judy Collins, but she fell in love with country music as well.
Fricke landed five more Top Ten hits from 1985-1986, including another number one in "Always Have, Always Will" and a number two in "She's Single Again." However, her commercial momentum slowed abruptly afterwards, and following 1989's Labor of Love album, she and CBS Records parted ways.
