Jamie Dill (April 25, 1918 - July 23, 1987) began playing piano for Palmetto State Quartet in 1947, contrary to the information that I posted in Past to Present it is really not clear whether Jamie was the original pianist for the group. A book titled "Through the Years with the Palmetto State Quartet" states, "Jamie was often referred to by members of the quartet as 'our den mother.' The title fit him quite well as his first piano playing job was to play for the Melodyaires while their pianist was on maternity leave."

Jamie served as a deacon at his home church, First Assembly of God in Greenville, SC. He became the manager of Palmetto State Quartet in 1960 when the group reorganized. Jamie and his wife Ruby had a daughter, Terri, and a son, Stanley. Jamie was preceded in death by Ruby. The whereabouts of their children are unclear.
