Jim & Jean

about

Jim and Jean, were Jim Glover (born 1942) and Jean Ray (1941–2007) an American folk music duo, who performed and recorded music from the early to the late 1960s. They were married for a time, and were listed as Jim and Jean Glover in the liner notes of their albums, but eventually went their separate ways. Glover attended Ohio State University, where he met Phil Ochs in late 1959, and introduced Ochs to folk music, Leftist politics, and taught him how to play guitar. Jim Glover and Phil Ochs were in a short-lived folk duo called the "Singing Socialists", later renamed the "Sundowners". Though the group did not last long, Glover and Ochs remained friends. In 1961, Jim Glover left Ohio and moved to New York, where he met Jean Ray at the Café Raffio and later fell in love with her. Jim and Jean began performing music together and developed a following at Café Raffio's in Greenwich Village, and soon began making enough money to pay the rent on their Thompson Street apartment. In 1962, Ochs moved in with Jim and Jean when he was first starting his musical career in Greenwich Village. Ray introduced Ochs to her friend Alice Skinner, and Ochs soon moved in with Skinner, and eventually married her. As Glover improved his songwriting, Jim and Jean began to perform (and later recorded) a number of his songs. They were given a big career boost from Art Linkletter, whose longtime secretary was Jean's mother and who featured Jim and Jean on his popular TV programs. Jim and Jean's f
