Jeannie Kendall and Carl Acuff Jr.
Leaping Hawk Records Is Proud to Present
Grammy Award Winner Jeannie Kendall
(One of the Founding Members of The Kendalls)
and Carl Acuff Jr.
Jeannie Kendall
Jeannie and her dad, Royce Kendall, rose to fame with several number one hits, including "Heaven's just a Sin Away," which rocketed the young singer to music world prominence. That song topped the country charts, was a minor crossover pop hit, and won the 1978 Grammy Award for Best Country Vocal by a Duo or Group.
The father/daughter vocal blending was perfect, never needing tuning in any studio. Their love for God, Country, Family, and Music came through in their voices, and created something that only occurs with family vocal timbre and is almost impossible to recreate. The Kendalls' career included 22 top singles, 11 top 10 hits and three #1 hits. They were honored with both Grammy Awards and CMA Awards.
In the years since her father's death, Jeannie has pursued a solo career, continuing to thrill audiences with new music. Her latest CD with Carl Acuff Jr. is no exception. Jeannie's powerful, sweet, clear voice is strong today as ever, and has found the perfect vocal match with the amazing harmonies of Carl Acuff Jr.
