That is a fine version. I don't recall that she did it. She really was fine singer. Thank for the post.

This is real music. Not the cookie cutter music of now.

So "Underrated" As a Singer.

RIP Skeeter

Top notch all the way, baby....!!!!

[Kirke182]

Skeeter got her start on Detroit's Fortune label in '52 and gave them their first major hit. Back then she was part of a duo called the Davis Sisters but her partner, Betty Jack (who was not her sister) , died in a car wreck shortly after.

Skeeter's a very underrated vocalist. Great pop song!!!

It was the summer of 1963 and beginning a new life just having arrived in Houston from Milwaukee. Back with family and friends and old girlfriends with so many great times still ahead. I was just 18 and remember driving down Waugh Drive on a Saturday morning and hearing this song on the radio. It always made me feel happy. What awesome memories. Skeeter Davis was just the best.

[MARILLIONROCKER45]

This was one of my favorite songs in the summer of 1963. Arriving in Houston from Milwaukee to begin a new life with old friends and family again. I was 18 and so many great time were still ahead. This song always makes me feel good. I remember a Saturday morning driving down Waugh Drive in my 1959 Ford Skyliner and hearing this song on the radio. Oh the good ole days. Skeeter was awesome.

Great music! Wonderful 60's, I'd go back anyday!

[SnowflakeSparkles26]

Skeeter Davis needs to be inducted into the country music hall of fame, it's sad she hasn't been yet, she is legend and one of the best in country music and any type of music,

[Babyhowdy233]

This is the ORIGINAL recording, much better than the later version she did IMHO.

GREAT SONG - I thought for awhile that Neil Sedaka had something to do with this song, but I guess not-

[catman916]

@christheone8773

Neil Sedaka and his songwriting partner Howie Greenfield worked in the Brill Building along with Gerry Goffin and Carole King. I guess that there was a lot of "cross fertilization."

[Kirke182]

@catman916 Carole and Sedaka had known each other a long time. One of his hits "Oh, Carole" was about her and she wrote one about him called "Oh, Neil."

[spacepatrolman]

@christheone8773 he didnt directly have anything to do with it but itsan answer to record to breaing up is hard to do they had knock off records like that then another one is gerry im your sherry buy tracy day an answer to sherry by the jerkey boys .

[WCFL1000]

@christheone8773 Actually there is a connection. Neil Sedaka & Carole King were close friends. His "Oh Carol" was written for her. Neil, Carole, & her husband Gerry Goffin all were songwriters working in the same office for Nevins-Kirschner company in New York. Tony Orlando also worked there, & Carol wrote his first hit, "Halfway To Paradise."

[christheone8773]

@WCFL1000 Well, regardless of who was responsible for this great hit, IMO, it kept Skeeter Davis from being known as a "one hit wonder" -

[trailboyus66]

Looks really good. This is the one that truly made Skeeter the inventer of

COUNTRY-ROCK

This was played on KTTR AM 1490

back then it was the only station in

Rolla Missouri.

I remember hearing Tom Dye and

Meryl Nash announcing Skeeters hits. They were the main d.j.s back then.

[yedon68]

...those were great days when skeeter was getting 'pop' airplay....she deserves respect for her efforts...!

[12Fegens]

Catchy vocal by the late Skeeter Davis.

[catman916]

It's a song that makes you feel good. You are lucky to have known Skeeter.

[gfkd11]

Too a gem!!

FANTASTIC!!
