I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know by Skeeter Davis

I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know by Skeeter Davis
1953

Skeeter Davis has never gotten a lot of critical attention, but in the '50s and '60s, she recorded some of the most accessible crossover country music, occasionally skirting rock & roll. Born Mary Penick, Davis took her last name after forming a

duo with Betty Jack Davis, the Davis Sisters. Their 1953 single "I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know" was a big country hit; its B-side, the remarkable "Rock-a-Bye Boogie," foreshadowed rockabilly. That same year, however, the duo's career was cut short by a tragic car accident in which Betty Jack was killed and Skeeter was severely injured. Skeeter did attempt to revive the Davis Sisters with Betty Jack's sister but was soon working as a solo artist. Skeeter Davis died Sept. 19, 2004, at the age of 72. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide

@twinPaula12 My distinct pleasure, Mam. I have probably waltzed across Texas, north to south and east to west several times. I met my wife dancing to "Blackland Farmer". In fact it was fifty years ago today that I did that. My Sweetie reminded me of that fact this morning at the breakfast table. God bless you, Mam.
