“The talent of Jody Miller cannot be overstated.” In the statement, Miller’s longtime representative Jennifer McMullen said, “She had this innate, God-given ability to interpret and communicate with the most beautiful tones and inflection.”

“She made it look and sound so simple that it takes a moment to realise the magnitude of what you’re hearing.” But she was as genuine and exceptional in her personal life as she was on stage and in the studio.”

Miller began recording with Epic Records in Nashville, Tennessee, in the 1970s, and had a string of Hot Country chart entries, including “He’s So Fine,” “Baby I’m Yours,” and “There’s a Party Going On.”

In the early 1980s, she retired, and in the early 1990s, she started a gospel music ministry.

Miller later performed as Jody Miller and Three Generations with her daughter Robin and grandchildren, releasing the song “Where My Picture Hangs On The Wall” in 2018.
