Kim Greene traveled with her family The Greene's for many years. It consisted of her, her younger brother Tony (RIP 2010) & older brother Tim. (It may have had their father (RIP 2004). At some point in her early teens Kim & her family sang for Claude hopper (the details I'm not exact on). However it would be a while before she & Dean would get together.
In 1988 Kim married Dean Hopper after (what I'm led to believe was a short dating/engagement time. With in - less than 1 year.) In November of 1988 they married. For a while she continued to travel and sing with her family. However sometime in 1989 he left The Greene's. She then joined Dean & his family The Hoppers. Over the next few years they had a good career. In 1994 Dean & Kim had their first child... a daughter. Karlye Jade Hopper. It would be a decade before they would have their second child another daughter. Lexus Jazz. When Kim was pregnant with their youngest (Lexus) her father passed away. She eventually went into labor nearly 2 months early. Leaving Lexus born premature. However they were all lucky & she was actually quite healthy. She was however quite small & had to learn to eat. |
Updates:*Kim has done 2 solo projects since joining The Hoppers. (As of now they are still in print.) The first was 'Imagine'. It was released sometime around 2005. The second was 'I Just Wanted You To Know'. Released sometime around 2008 (??)
*The second album had a duet with her husband Dean entitled 'The Woman In My Little Girls Room'. (A song meant for their oldest daughter Karlye.) *It is believed that Kim's mom now lives with her, Dean & the kids. *TaRanda Greene (widow of Tony Greene) has since moved to be closer to her parent. However the family still stays close. *Currently as of 2013 TaRanda has been traveling & singing with The Hoppers |
"Kim Greene Hopper began her life on stage as a child singing with her dad and brothers in the group known as the Greenes. After marrying Dean, she continued travelling with her brothers for a short time, finally joining the Hoppers as their soprano singer. Her voice melded beautifully with theirs.
Kim and Dean have two beautiful little girls, Karlye and Lexus. They make their home in North Carolina where the Hopper farm and studios are located. When not on the road, Kim likes to maintain a clean home and make a normal life for their girls." *From a former fan site @ ReoCities |
