Judy Martin (singer)

Eva Alaine Overstake (July 23, 1917 – November 17, 1951), professionally known as Judy Martin, was an American country music singer, performing from the early 1930s to the late 40s on the WLS-AM's National Barn Dance in Chicago.

When Eva was 12 years old her father arranged for her and her two older sisters, Evelyn and Lucille to sing three-part harmonies for The Salvation Army on street corners in Decatur.

The program director was so impressed with their performance in the audition he immediately scheduled them for a guest appearance the following Saturday on the WLS National Barn Dance.

The girls were an immediate hit with the WLS listeners and they were hired for regular Saturday night appearances on the show to begin in January 1932.

[citation needed] On August 9, 1933, less than three weeks after her sixteenth birthday, Eva Alaine Overstake married twenty-three-year-old Clyde Julian "Red" Foley, a widower with a baby daughter in Waukegan, Illinois.

On Saturday, November 17, 1951, Eva Foley age 34, died at her Nashville, Tennessee home from an overdose of sleeping pills.

Their daughters are Cheryl Lynn, Linda Lee, Laura Gene and country and Christian music singer Debby Boone.
