Jesus music's Janny Grein dies in Texas
JESUS music pioneer Janny Grein died of cancer in Fort Worth,
Texas on 4th August. A native of Arkansas, Janny was working the mainstream clubs until
she and her husband Bill both experienced a spiritual awakening after
watching the film King Of Kings on TV. In 1976 Janny became the second artist signed to the
newly birthed Sparrow Records. Her albums 'Free Indeed' (1976),
'Covenant Woman' (1977) and 'He Made Me Worthy' (1978) all became
popular on US Christian radio. Later in her ministry Janny wrote the book
Called, Appointed, Anointed and over the last few years has released
albums independently, the last being 'River Rising' in 2009. Janny's public memorial
service will be held at Eagle Mountain International Church in Fort
Worth on 9th August. An article about Janny will be published soon by Cross
Rhythms.
A song of Janny's came to mind so I looked it up and listened. Honestly I had forgotten her. What beautiful music she left us! I had no idea that she had died! She will keep blessing people over and over! I am thankful to be one!
