Gloria Jane comes from a family of musicians. Her Grandfather Fred Thompson migrated from Lawrence County Kentucky to Ohio with his parents, where he grew up playing the banjo and later played the piano in theaters for silent films. His cousin Estill Thompson and Estill’s wife Ann Thompson played and sang Gospel music in many of the churches in the area. Estill’s sister’s boy grew up to be none other then Country Music’s Bluegrass Star And 14 Time Grammy Winner Ricky Skaggs!! You can listen to Ricky here on last.fm at www.last.fm/music/Ricky+Skaggs It might also surprise some to know that Gloria Jane's grandmother's maiden name was Dorothy Marie Ramey when she married Fred Thompson.
