Hope Powell, a photographer most known for shooting country music stars has recently passed away at the age of 90. Hope first began her career by shooting none other than our Jaynie.

Jayne was in town for one of her satirical strip shows and Hope had the honour of following Jayne around the audience taking photos of her seated in men's laps and would then sell them the photos.

Hope took this following image of Jayne with country music star Billy Crash Craddock at the Plantation Club in 1963 to which Jayne then personalised it to Crash.
