    Gail Davies is a fantastic singer and songwriter. She deserves so much more recognition and respect than she has received from the country music industry. Her talents are undeniable. Gail, you are the best!!

      Perhaps her moral standards are higher than what it takes to go further in the industry.

    I remember buying the vinyl album and listening awestruck by the quality of Gail's singing, the quality of the songs and the quality of the production. I knew then that I was listening to one of the greatest talents in country music. I have bought every Gail Davies album since then. It's great that these videos are available to watch. Thank you Rob Price for making them available.

      She's still recording. Her latest album "Beyond the Realm of Words" was co-produced by her son Christopher Scruggs. I just ordered it on her website. I've been reading her biography which is an amazing story. She's quite a rebel and I can't wait to hear her new music.

    I remember playing this song back in my radio dj job back in the early 1980s and how it became a favorite of mine. I sing parts of the song now to my little daughter. It's one of the prettiest country melodies from that era and I love the touching lyrics. Gail Davies' clear voice and beautiful range made this song stunning.

    Hey Gail. Miss you. Nashville and you were so kind to me. More than likely you won't see this message but still think of you. I remember when you played your tape to me of Pretty Woman before you released it. I still have the album cover you signed. Wish I could catch up with you. Wishing the best to you. Time is short.🥰

    I heard her at the ouachita festival of the forest from her home town Broken bow oklahoma back in the late 70's. When she sang this song on stage there with the natural backdrop of the Mountain Fork river and the shear cliff behind the ampitheater had a near mystical hauntimg ring that will forever stick in my memory.

    Help, please, Gail Davies fans, I’m trying to find a song that she performed on a live show like this one, maybe even this one. It could have been written by her brother Ron Davies, I think she mentioned him. She sang something about a rose, and I think she said that “it is about a dynamic”. It’s been many years but I remember that it was a great song, and not a cover off an older song. Maybe on piano? Help, anyone?
