If you listen to early Jimmie Davis recordings you will find he is the foundation from which country music evolved. A little blues, a little western, along with traditional folk music.
Yes, I knew him. He was at our Church, First Baptist Church Baton Rouge. He was a great pianist and our organist. He played all over the regional area with Jimmie, who was also a Member of our Church. I sure enjoyed choir practice with these men. Yes.
Just a bit of trivia. During WWII, Winston Churchill many times placed Bing Crosby's version of "You Are My Sunshine" on top of his favorites, and if memory serves, Bing sung it live for him a handful of times in person when Bing was in Europe doing shows for the troops. Bing's version of it, if not as "country" as Jimmie Davis' or Gene Autry's, still ranks in the pantheons of "country" music, AND pop, as one of the biggest hits of that era. Does anybody like it as good as I do? Just curious.

This clip should have a million hits or more. This is American history. I love Gov. Davis' singing.

I use to sing 'You are My Sunshine' to my little dog who crossed the Rainbow Bridge many years ago...I still cry every time I hear it.
Hello Diana how are you doing
Still sounds great to hear after all these years.
Two legends! I am a big fan of both. I’m sure heaven’s choir is a little sweeter with them in it!
I remember these from my childhood over 75 years ago. 😊
Brings back precious memories of dear ones who left us long ago.

We want our Louisiana Governor Jimmie Davis back...Times were good then...and did you know he is the only LA Governor to live in THREE CENTURIES....
No, I did not know that, thank you.
Yes that was the good old days!!!
21st century started Jan, 1 2001 so he almost made it.
I had a friend who lived in three centuries! She lived to be 104!
What a great pair of shades.
