First Encounter - Skeeter Davis
Skeeter Davis
She tries to sound
the sweet girl of old
She must be in her 60s when Skeeter Davis came to Kuala Lumpur for a concert some years back. She looked like a granny but tried hard to speak in the sweet girl voice that topped the country charts in the 50s and 60s. Of course the voice like a knife poked at her heart by breaking between the notes. Skeeter or Mary Frances Penick from
Kentucky died in 2004. The album Great American Country released this year, featured her songs.
