Short intro

The End of the World is a pop song written by composer Arthur Kent and lyricist Sylvia Dee, who often worked as a team. They wrote the song for American singer Skeeter Davis, and her recording of it was highly successful in the early 1960s, reaching the Top-5 on four different charts, including 2 on the main Billboard Hot 100. It spawned many cover versions. This song by Skeeter Davis was released in 1962 and only reached number 18 here in the UK charts, but it done much better in the U. S,reaching number 2 the video for The End of the World from Skeeter Davis's 100 Movie Hits for free, and see the artwork, lyrics and similar artists. From The Album. Play album. 100 Movie Hits. Mary Frances Skeeter Davis December 30, 1931 September 19, 2004 was a country music singer and a member of the Grand Ole Opry radio show for more than 40 years. She was best known for her hit song The End of the World 1963, one of the most popular American records of the 1960's. One of the first women to achieve major stardom in the country music field as a solo vocalist, she was an acknowledged influence on Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton.

End Of The World Skeeter Davis. Nothing here measures up to that wonderful smash, but it's tasteful enough period Nashville country, with producers Anita Kerr and Chet Atkins ensuring that the LP measured up to state-of-the-art country-pop production by double-tracking Davis' vocals against a background of strings and lazy barroom piano runs. They did let her loose on Little Eva's Keep Your Hands Off My Baby, which is replete with primitive fuzzy guitar. Though it may sound enticing, the result is actually kind of lousy and ill-fitting. End of The World also peaked at 2 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, was 2 for one week the 1 record for that week was Our Day Will Come by Ruby and the Romantics. Between 1957 and 1976 the Kentucky native had forty records on the Hot Country Singles chart, ten made the Top 10 with her two biggest hits both reaching 2. Besides The End of the World, her other 2 record was the answer record, I Can't Help You I'm Falling Too, in 1960. I think that the idea of the lyrics of the song in 1962 came from the song called 'That'll Be The Day' written and sung by Buddy Holly in 1957. Skeeter Davis. skeeter davis.
