Jimmy Fortune

Jimmy Fortune toured, sang and performed with the legendary Statler Brothers for 21 years. He joined them first as a temporary replacement for Lew DeWitt, after DeWitt heard him singing at a ski resort and recommended him. Following an audition in Nashville, Jimmy was contacted by the Statler Brothers and performed his first show with them on January 28, 1982, in Savannah, Georgia. Due to the debilitating effects of Crohn’s Disease, Lew was unable to return to the stage with the Statler's, and Jimmy was hired as a permanent replacement in August of 1982.

On October 29, 2007, Jimmy and The Statler Brothers were honored with induction into the GMA (Gospel Music Association) Hall of Fame, followed by their induction into the CMA (Country Music Association) Hall of Fame on June 29, 2008. In 2018, Jimmy was also recognized as a solo artist with his induction into the Virginia Musical Hall of Fame. After The Statler Brothers concluded their journey on October 26, 2002, Jimmy took the chance to embark on a solo career, eager to share fresh music with his audience.
