Notes

Appearances are often deceiving. Take Skeeter Davis , for instance. Although she would be perfect casting for the girl next door, few would pick her for the part of dedicated performer and singing star. Yet the pretty, appealingly vivacious Skeeter Davis encompasses both these roles-and to perfection. Sincerity is her keynote underlined by a particularly winsome charm. All Skeeter's individual qualities are part of her singing-and part of her success story.
"The Skeeter Davis Story" would sound not quite "true to life" if made into a movie; yet how many of her fans don't know that Skeeter first made an impact in country music circles as half of the Davis Sister, and that it was just after Skeeter and Betty
Jack Davis had made their first hit recording (I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know) that Betty Jack was killed in an automobile accident. The road back was not an easy one for Skeeter, but it is a trip she has made successfully and with dignity.
Her early months as one-half of a duo undoubtedly left their influence on Skeeter's way with a song, a style which has had a large impact of its own on pop music. The trend to overdubbing ("singing with yourself") owes much of its life force to Skeeter's two- and three-track hits. And the "answer song" fad of a few years back got a big boost with Skeeter's (I Can't Help I'm Falling Too -the answer song to Hank Locklin's Please Help Me, I'm Falling.
The answer song included in this album is Lost to a Geisha Girl, Skeeter's answer to Hank Locklin's Geisha Girl, one of his "foreign love" hits. Of course the favorite Blueberry Hlill is a statement all by itself-as styled by Skeeter Davis, and some of her famous tear-drenched performances are also here: Somebody Else on Your Mind, Homebreaker, Give me Death. Here's Skeeter-singin' her heart out!
