FAMOUS GRAVE-Singer Skeeter Davis (The End Of The World) In Nashville, TN

[@shelleyUSATX]

My little boyfriend was killed back in 1976, I wore out The End of the World.....crying all of the time. I still love her! I love these video's. You are a kind man Mr. Steve.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

wow, sorry to hear that shelly.

[@shelleyUSATX]

@@TheGraveyardChannel you are so kind. I feel special that you speak to me. Most don't take the time to notice. You're awesome!

[@Maréchal_John_Gaming]

What killed him?

[@agvvga3534]

Thank you

[@peterlewis3715]

1970's, I was a kid in the area near Philadelphia. K-Tel Record t.v. commercials played 10 second sound bites of the songs. End of the World was one that I heard a few seconds of.. for years. The name Skeeter seemed odd but as I became a man in my 50's & my wife died, the song became something other than a sound bite. I realized that whoever wrote End of the World probably wasn't inspired by teenaged love-gone-wrong. I am a Beatles fan but love most music. I learned to play End of the World on guitar. Skeeter had a lovely voice, southern twang when she sang the word 'end'. Nostalgia is painful & dear.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

Sorry for your loss Peter. Thank you for sharing this special memory with us. And I agree. These trips down memory lane are very bitter Sweet 👍

[@DeZug]

The Singing Angel - Skeeter Davis. My favourite singer. Thank you for your video

[@tututpatutut8001]

it was late 80s when my mother used to listen dear john and gonna get along without u now. she played it all day and later on i love to listen it till now. even in my mothers grave i play it because its her favorite music. im just missed my mother i love her very much...

[@theBigLubarski_1977]

It's hard to fight back tears whilst listening to Skeeter's many beautiful songs, with that sweet sweet, innocent-sounding voice of her's, and I'm certainly not exactly the "sensitive type," either. I wasn't born until 1977, but I remember hearing the song "the End of the World," from time to time on US-99.5 (the main country music station in Cook County, Illinois/the Chicago-area), and I couldn't remember who it was by, and luckily I had a notification from one of the many "vintage country music" KZbin channels that I subscribe to, and there was a video with the songs of several different artists in a 45 minute/hour-long mix of classic country music, with "The End of the World" being the 1st song in the mix...the artist and song names were not listed in this particular video nor were they in the video description, so I had to do some internet searching to find out the artist of this beautiful song that I have always loved...I didn't even know the name of the song, but I took a couple of educated guesses, based on the lyrics, and I quickly found out the name of the song, and that it was by Skeeter Davis, so I've been "binge-listening" to here music for the past month. Furthermore, I've played many musical instruments throughout my life, and I've been teaching myself how to play the accordion for the last couple years (off and on), and I must say that this song *alone,* with its beautiful chord progressions, have really, *REALLY* helped me to better familiarize myself with the "button side" of my accordion 🪗; I basically understand how it works, but I'm still trying to visualize it in my mind -which is difficult to do, when you have to do it "by feel," unlike with piano or bass guitar (or just guitar, for that matter) as I have been playing piano and bass since the early 1980s and early 1990s, respectively, and while I *can* read music, 99% of the time I play by ear, as it is just the way I learn best.

[@DawnWagers]

Thank you Steve for making this video. My mom Shirley is the sister of Mary Francis Penick (Skeeter) and I'm her blood niece. Skeeter and I share the same birthday and I've got pics of us on the phone giving birthday wishes! When her and her band would come to ky. to visit in her limo we were the coolest kids on the street! She graduated from Dixie Heights high school and her pic hangs on the wall to this day! Skeeter Davis Hwy.22 is in Dryridge,Ky. I as a kid got to run all over the Opry and Stonewall Jackson's bus fascinated me, it was always parked in front! It was a wonderful perk getting into Opryland free! Bus Fare to Ky. was written for my grandma, she always kept a suitcase packed and rode the Greyhound to Ky. to come see us! I can't thank you enough for making this video,it truly means a lot,my aunt should not be FORGOTTEN! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ceo_europeanshow]

Skeeter davis still the best singer for me, good video

[@ahphong2904]

What a coincidence, I am watching your video on Skeeter Davis, on Sept, 19, 2022, 18years from her passing. She is such a beautiful person and a wonderful singer. End of the World is my favourite song. I sing it every chance I get. Thanks for the video.

[@apzapz9276]

I like her voice so much indeed

[@absolutebollox]

She is by far my favourite singer I love all of her songs and Busfare to Kentucky the one I play most

[@randysfavorites6901]

Thank You for paying tribute to Skeeter, I have loved her since I was a child. Yes she toured with Elvis as half of The Davis Sisters and Skeeter toured with the Rolling Stones too, a great lady who I was blessed to have met twice in the 1990's. I sure miss her but I believe I will meet her again someday, Love You Skeeter

[@Finglesham]

She was more famous than I thought. I live in the UK and was 16 in 1963 but I do remember that song and liked it. I wrote teh words down to sing and kept a book with songs in to this day great. Thanks I have been to the US quite a lot as my son is a US citizen now but lives in OR so a long way to TN. Used to live in CA so saw a lot of that.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

Wow, that is interesting. Thank you for sharing with us F 😊👍

My favorite songs by Skeeter were "I Can't Stay Mad At You" and "Gonna Get Along Without You Now" . Miss her talent and beauty .

[@chappy675]

I absolutely LOVED Skeeter Davis and her greatest hits album is probably my all time favorite album. I practically wore it out!! Steve, you and I could sit and listen to music together endlessly! Your taste in music is exactly in sync with mine. All of your top five are favorites of mine. That Carpenters are my favorite of all time. Thanks for this great video.

[@IgnitedCoyote]

It's been over 20 years since I've been to Nashville, I'm sorry to see the traffic still sucks! LOL! Since 1963 is the year I was born, I guess you could say it was the beginning of the world for me!

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

lol, it was a great year!

[@soonhqrun2683]

..hello..when one visiting her respected graveside one can sit on the stone bench while in memories thinking of her life in her best living moment..Rip..thanks you

[@tomlawhon6515]

I used to attend the Lighthouse Church in Owen County, Kentucky , which is adjacent to Grant County where Skeeter grew up. Skeeter's brother and his wife attended the Lighthouse Church and Skeeter did a concert of both her secular and gospel songs one night after she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. She also gave her Christian testimony. She was a sweet lady and I wish we could have stayed with us a little longer here below. I don't remember when I first heard The End of the World, but it may have been at a restaurant that we always stopped at on the way to visit my mother's cousins in Indiana, which we did every year. The restaurant had little mini jukebox selectors on every table and country hits played all during the time we ate there. At home I pretty much heard mostly gospel music, with some Lawrence Welk and TV variety shows. We did not have a record player and seldom listened to radio. However, I remember hearing The End of the World in the 1960s.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

ah, simpler times. it's funny the things we remember. thanks for sharing your memories with us, tom!

[@billyost7683]

I'm 71 and it seems like I've loved Skeeter Davis forever. She had a really unique voice that I could never hear too much of. She also had so many songs I still love listening to. Of course, End of the World is one, but others I really love are Gonna Get Along Without You Now, Silver Threads and Golden Needles, I Can't Stay Mad At You, and No, Never. And if you haven't Heard it, check out her album "Here's The Answer". She responds to may great hit songs with a song that answers them. In fact, I just ordered one of her vinyl reacors since the sound so much better than electronic versions. RIP, Ms. Davis.

How awesome, Bill. Thanks for sharing this with us!

The song "End of the World" came out 3 years after I was born but I started following music when I was about 10 or so and I loved classic country. I purchased a record that had the song on it and I have always loved it. I believe I heard that at one time Skeeter was married to Ralph Emory who just died last month.

Greetings from the Ohio Porters. 😁 It’s 2021...Yes, I remember Skeeter. It was in dad’s 1968 Cadillac convertible and on 8 track! I think it was a tape of The Grand Ole Opry, if I’m not mistaken. Loved it from the 1st time I heard it. She had such a sweet voice and I was really music lover. My dad had gotten into making the 8 track tapes and I was the person who played them to make sure they worked fine, sounded fine and would jump to other tracks. It was wonderful driving through the countryside and even at the cemetery listening to her singing.🤩🥰 I’m from West Virginia. 🥰 I don’t know if I could pick just 5 songs but Skeeter, BeeGees, John Denver and Elvis would be on my list as well. Elvis was the person whom I loved as a baby. Thanks for sharing this video.

My top five song of all time is .., Imagine by John Lennon 2) Back Home Again by John Denver 3) For the Good Time by Dean Martin 4) Rainbow are back in Style by Dean Martin 5. Honey by Bobby Goldboro. I First heard Back Home Again on the Tonight show and that started a serval year love affair with John Denver. Since then my taste in music has expended to other easy listening. It so hard to pick 5. Ist time I have commented on your posting I just love watching your posting. Never thought graveyards could be so interesting. We are about the same age was born in 1958 and my mom and dad was from Tulsa, Oklahoma. I really enjoyed when you went back to Oklahoma to visit your family , your posting. from that trip. Couple years ago I went back to Oklahoma first time in 38 years. My cousins was able to fill me in on my dad family history I never knew. He been gone 30 years. They took me around to my grandpa I never knew grave... I realize for the 1st time my dad lost his dad when he was only 12 years old, he was the oldest of 4 kids so he became the man of the house at 12 which gave me a completely different look at my dad. Your channel has helped me understand the need to look at our history. My heart go out to you and your brother dealing with your mom. I have dealt with both my mom and dad dealing with demitia. And it so hard to know what to do and it take a toll on the care giver. We finally put my mom into the assistant living where I worked as a cook. That was really rough to get her to agree to ,. She did agree cause I would be around a lot . Even then some days I would go to work at 5 a.m. get home at 7 p.m. after she was in bed so I just wanted you to know I keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Waahaaaha. Someone who hates traffic as much as I. Hang in there, Steve-o. Your a breath of fresh air. 😉

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

LOL, I thought I was leaving LA traffic behind :-) Guess it's everywhere now. Thanks, Steven!

Steve I remember that song too. my top two favorites are Crystal Blue Persuasion by Tommy James and the Shondells this song will be played at my funeral some day. Love this song and Close to You the Capenters I got to dance with my son to this song at his wedding this January. It was a great moment. Love your videos.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

love both of these songs, too. thanks for sharing them with us, karen!

[@normasaldivar1882]

Omg...i love to sing that song on karaoke! Aww..thanks again and again Steve! ❤

[@kevinbayers5320]

Hey Steve, so I had to google the song on KZbin and I have to say what a beautiful song. Thanks for bringing Skeeter Davis into my music catalogue. I would say my top 3 songs are What’s Love Got to Do With It by Tina Turner, anything by the Carpenters (I love Karen Carpenter) and California Dreamin by The Mamas and The Papas.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

nice list. the carpenters and M & P are on my top list too! thanks for sharing, kevin!

[@kennethmacnzerem4779]

Remember my school days when I couldn't stop playing tunes for two ,a duet with Bobby Bare.Skeeter Davis was one of the very best.RIP

Favorite song sign of the times I know a place downtown Petula Clark

[@MrPanchoak]

I've loved her since I first heard her. The song was "I forgot more".

[@tjtroy762]

Skeeter Davis ... WOW. That brings up memories from back in the day. End of the world is possibly one of the greatest songs ever recorded. Not my favorite song of all time, but it would be high up on my list. There are so many great songs, it would be very hard to have a top 5 list. I likely would keep changing my mind as I think of more. Steve, my favorite song of all time is a more modern song. Hotel California by The Eagles. Thanks STEVE ... another GREAT trip down memory lane.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

the eagles have really been mentioned a lot in these comments. desperado is my favorite eagles song. thanks, tj!

[@ronniepacis666]

My favorite is.the end.of the world.color my world.whiter shade of pale for all we know susie darling

[@richardpotter6313]

Skeeters song is of pure heart. Its why it rings so true to so many. Shade of Gray too. Hotel California , unfortunately, is about shooting coke. Its satanic as hell itself. Stairway to Heaven is about smoking it ...old school. The devil has his minions ...and God has His.

Hello Steve. I don't remember Skeeter Davis but I do remember The End of the World. I heard Vonda Shepard's version. Going to give a listen to Skeeter Davis now. Thanks for introducing me to a new musical talent. I can't pick a favorite song but always love listening to Frank Sinatra and I grew up with the old beach bands....love those old guitars. Happy and safe trip.....wishing for less traffic.

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

skeeter's wiki page says the song has been covered by lots of other artists. I'm only familiar with hers, but not surprised. wonder if frank covered it? love the beach boys! thanks, lisa!
