Dolly ha this ability to feel the songs she sings! she makes it sound like the words are comin straight from her heart! its amazin how she makes songs her own !!! just amazing
I always thought Skeeter's version was good, but seemed less passionate and emotional than Dolly's version. And passion is what this song's all about!
I'm both a Dolly and Skeeter fan; Skeeter sings it better. It is in a lower key and hence the subtle tones and pathos is brought out much better. Nothing taken from Dolly, but Skeeter singing it in a lower register gives the song much more meaning.
No disrespect intended but Skeeter Davis sings this GREAT Dolly Parton Composition a hundred times better. In my opinion, "Skeeter Davis" was one of the GREATEST Female Vocalists of ALL time, not to mention, one of the most WONDERFUL Women to ever walk this Earth !!! She's singing with the "GREAT CHOIR" above now. I just LOVE her to bits !!!
Hey, it's cool. Everyone's entitled to an opinion! I'm a huge Dolly fan,(obviously :p but sometimes I find other artists renditions of songs better too :)
@spadinajack You should remember that the song was really written for Skeeter Davis so maybe you can see why you would think that way but Davis has influence Dolly often said she is a writer that sings
Skeeter WHO? NOBODY can even touch the hem of her dress.

Thanks for posting this. Dolly remains to be one of the best female vocalists ever in any genre of music, and that is my opinion.
