Skeeter Davis songs always filled the air any time i entered into my aunty's sitting room. I was a about 10 years and that was over 30 years now. My aunty is late now and i do remember her anytime i play Skeeter's songs. It just tells me that i would be dead and gone someday too. My aunty is gone and so is Skeeter too.
Amen...she's one of the Greatest Artist of all Eras Thank you Skeeter so many used this Lady for their on Greed Angels are Singing...missin Skeeter ! Ol couple way down in TX 52yrs ❤
It still happens too frequently, someone covers a song and is attributed as writer. Glad there's folks on here who've reminded us it was written by the great Ian Tyson. Skeeter Davis was one of the first artists I got to see live, and not even particularly a country fan. She has an honest and stunning voice. My favorite of hers is "I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know About Him." She sure can sing these heartbreak songs!
@@David-pd8li Hmm.I think you're confusing Ian's Summer Wages and Gordon's Summertime Dream.Ian Tyson wrote Summer Wages.Sylvia said it was her favorite song written by her husband.
I have been listening to Skeeter David since before I was ten years old and to me she is definitely one if not the best female country singers and beautiful, too. Her duets with Bobby Bare are matchless, unforgettable. Why is she not in the Country Hall of Fame?
I love not only her fantastic rendition of this great song, but also who she is as a person. She seems so good-natured, and innocent and child-like, I feel younger and freer just watching how joyful and sweet she is.
Thanks for the Skeeter Davis songs that takes me back to memory lane. I've been listening to her songs since 1966 when I was in form one in the high school. I'm now 70 years and I still listen to her songs.
Always a fan of Ian Tyson who wrote this great tune, love Templeton Thompson's version as well from a couple of yrs ago. But hey, nice to hear each artist do their own interpretation. That's what music is all about or it would soon get boring!
A while back I had a chance to perform on a Grand Ole Opry Show in which one of the performers was Skeeter. I had a chance to meet her and enjoyed her singing very much.
Two wonderful entertainers, Skeeter Davis and Jim Ed Brown. Oh' if we only had some folks like this in country music today. Thanks for sharing this video.
She added a Southern touch to this song. Cannot believe she was born in 1931, even for back then..... (I would have thought somewhere in the 1940s maybe...)
Two of my favorite female singers are from Kentucky. Skeeter Davis and Jackie DeShannon. I read that Skeeter got her name from her Grandfather. He said that when she was small, she had so much energy that she moved around like a mosquito.
I love her version of "Someday Soon". She's the only one I've heard yet, [including Judy Collins], who sings it note for note as it was originally written, which I appreciate.
Cheryl: You’re correct, thank you. Judy COLLINS had a hit with this song, but it’s Ian Tysons song. he wrote it and also sang it. Yesterday, December 29th Ian died at age 89. He will be missed, the Canadian cowboy singer from Alberta.
Songwriters rarely get the credit they deserve. Thanks for standing up for them. Without 'em, singers wouldn't even have a tune to hum. Ian Tyson was sure a good one, too.
Skeeter Davis is one of my favourite singers. Love the albums she did.with Bobby Bare and many of her hits. She came over to my home town Penang, Malaysia and did a show with packed audience. I was so dissapointed that I missed it!
Lee YS I am also a hardcore fan of davis I also origin of Malaysia I recognize at the age of 12 and now I am 16 years old I am a fan of contry music american
Ian Tyson wrote it and had it out. But Judy Collins had a great cut. So did Suzy Boggus and Moe Bandy. Skeeter was one of the sweetest Christian lady’s that ever lived and I miss her.
There's a young man that I know His age is 21 Comes from down in southern Colorado Just out of the service And he's looking for his fun Someday soon, going with him Someday soon My parents can not stand him 'Cause he rides the rodeo My father says that he will leave me crying I would follow him right down The toughest road I know Someday soon, going with him Someday soon And when he comes to call My pa' ain't got a good word to say Guess it's 'cause he's just as wild in the younger days So blow, you old Blue Northern Blow my love to me He's driving in tonight From California He loves his damned old rodeo As much as he loves me Someday soon, going with him Someday soon Oh, when he comes to call My pa' ain't got a word to say Guess it's 'cause he's just as wild in the younger days Blow, you old Blue Northern Blow my love to me He's driving in tonight From California He loves his damned old rodeo As much as he loves me Someday soon, going with him Someday soon Someday soon, going with him Someday soon Source: Musixmatch
EddieParker man this gal is so awesome beautiful unique voice she’s just a good o country girl real country music 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🌹😍❤️😘💕
For sure this is a song that is so well written the singer only adds his or her talent to it, this has always been one where the content holds up no matter who performs it.
One of the great songwriters IAN TYSON wrote that and nobody did it better than him and Sylvia.Judy Collins did a nice version and Skeeter is a rip-off version to fill up an album.Ian Tyson was one of the great writers.songs were covered by the likes of Neil Young,willie Nelson Johnny cash.Waylon Jennings bobDylan Harry belafonte John Denver anyone out there remember four strong winds?it was about a girl from Vernon,BC in Canada.I lived it
Skeeter never had the strongest voice, but she really put everything into this and it came out great. Looking at this from fifty years out, there have been a lot of covers of this song since Judy Collins did it and this is one of the best I've heard.
Not a musical person at all (though luv t listen) but thought there was something up with the music backing Skeeter was getting here. Poor thing she had t work doubly hard!!
The song is not by Judy Collins. It was written by Ian Tyson from Alberta Canada and preformed it with his wife Sylvia Tyson. I think that was in '65 or '67. Their's was a better version then Skeeter Davies or Judy Collins.
@@jerrymiller7708 At least it's a country run by adults not deranged, dysfunctional, incompetent, massively corrupt, venomous, mental wrecks like Deranged Donald.
@@GeorgeStar Just how did you manage to drag "our" politics into a statement I made disparaging you Canadians in general for just being the weak spined gutless fucks you are that can sit up north and do nothing but suck the American tit to survive and still have the gonads to bitch about our political system. How fucking dare you.
Jerry Miller I have duel citizenship but I can say they live a better quality of life in Canada than we do. Far better healthcare, less racism, and don’t live in fear of some lunatic killing your kid at school. You can talk from ignorance and stupidity but I have lived in both countries
Love Skeeter Davis absolutely should be in Country Music Hall Of Fame.

OMG!!! She's not in there?!?! That's criminal!!!!
Amen, her ex kept her out
@@joeray2008 Why?
What an amazing voice -u cld see she was too nice for this old world. Must get my hands on her biography
Absolutely. Down to earth, fantastic voice, great human being.
Very few modern singers would throw themselves in front of an audience like this. Grabs the host’s mic and sings. So refreshing.
Skeeter's voice is so sweet. 😍
Love Skeeter. A Godly woman who had a tough life. Resting with the Lord!
The sweet lady could sing !
Amen...she's one of the Greatest Artist of all Eras Thank you Skeeter so many used this Lady for their on Greed

Honest, genuine, authentic, brave and beautiful singing from a legend. Skeeter love, always.
Love Skeeter still to this day. Such a genuine soul.
Skeeter sure had a great voice. So pure, so natural
My elder brother make me fall in love with Skeeter Davis songs from the 70s. Her songs are too emotional. ~ 2023.
Skeeter was a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice.
I am 69 and still love listening to her ever since I can remember awesome 👏

Skeeter Davis, loved her “End of the World” song.
her range and presentation were always improving. I do love her , the last true country girl performer. God rest her soul always.
Skeeter Davis just had a country voice, and we loved her singing the 60's tune!
Thanks for the Skeeter Davis songs that takes me back to memory lane. I've been listening to her songs since 1966 when I was in form one in the high school. I'm now 70 years and I still listen to her songs.
I love both Skeeter and Judy. No competition - just two great interpreters of this classic song.
I really miss shows like this . Good music , a bit of comedy and pure entertainment. Thanks Lee . :)

When Skeeter does her solo verse of "Going Down the Road", she sounds just like she did back in her days with Betty Jack.
Love her version. Thank you
Lovely lady. Love her hair.
Impossible to mess up this standard. Skeeter doesn't.
This is written by Ian Tyson.. he n Suzy Boggus sing this beautifully as well
Moe Bandy had a hit on it too

There's a young man that I know
His age is 21
Comes from down in southern Colorado
Just out of the service
And he's looking for his fun
Someday soon, going with him
Someday soon
My parents can not stand him
'Cause he rides the rodeo
My father says that he will leave me crying
I would follow him right down
The toughest road I know
Someday soon, going with him
Someday soon
And when he comes to call
My pa' ain't got a good word to say
Guess it's 'cause he's just as wild in the younger days
So blow, you old Blue Northern
Blow my love to me
He's driving in tonight
From California
He loves his damned old rodeo
As much as he loves me
Someday soon, going with him
Someday soon
Oh, when he comes to call
My pa' ain't got a word to say
Guess it's 'cause he's just as wild in the younger days
Blow, you old Blue Northern
Blow my love to me
He's driving in tonight
From California
He loves his damned old rodeo
As much as he loves me
Someday soon, going with him
Someday soon
Someday soon, going with him
Someday soon
