Inducted 2010

At the age of 15 she began singing her way into the hearts of many by sharing the change that took place in her heart when God stepped in and took control. Little Jan is blessed with an incredible vocal ability that climbs above the clouds, but she is a lady who could never be more down to earth. Although she is a gifted singer, songwriter, and musician, her disarming charm and engaging humility prove her to be anything but a star.

In June of 1996, God called Wendy Bagwell home. Devastated by their loss, Jerri and Little Jan found themselves at an emotional crossroads. Jerri decided she would no longer travel, however, after 38 years with Wendy Bagwell and the Sunliters, Little Jan still had a passion in her heart that would not allow her to stop singing.

Little Jan's talents have been rewarded with several of her songs being nominated for Grammys. She has been inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame, and was recognized as the Southern Gospel Music Association's Female Vocalist of the Year on two separate occasions. She had the #1 song in Cashbox, "Walk Around Me Jesus", and Wendy Bagwell and the Sunliters had the best television commercial nationwide for Stanback, with Wall Street Journal front page recognition.
