This is the upteenth celebrity to have died this year alone. Already we have lost Ray Charles, Rick James, Syreeta, Laura Branigan and Tom Jones. When will this madness stop?
Rest in Peace Ms. Davis.
Did a lot of belly rubbing dancing to that song.
Loved the song "End of the World". Saw Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits perform that song in Cleveland last year and he brought down the house. Skeeter Davis will be missed.
A number of years ago, I had the opportunity to see her perform at the Grand Ole Opry. She had a great voice, and a very down to Earth, easy going manner with the audience. She impressed me as a genuinely nice person.
Skeeter was from a small town just south of Cincinnati. She came in occasionally to the shop I worked in after school and weekends while I in grade/middle school. This was in the early sixties at the heigth of her sucess with Why Does The World Keep On Turning. I think she was my first brush with a star.
May she rest in peace.
Sad, I loved "The End of the World". RIP, Skeeter.
