I agree with you, Nola. That beautiful duet has been overlooked too long. That was also the song that inspired the Everly Brothers Harmony, and it had a profound influence on Bob Dylan as well.
These are the things that we need to talk about on this board to make people aware of the valuable contributions of Skeeter Davis and Betty Jack. Female performers especially owe them a great debt, but as you can tell, their influence is not limited to the "girl singer".
BTW, is this the same Nola I use to talk with some years back? The one from "Down Under"??

I agree, but the industry as it is today doesn't even know who the Davis Sisters are. Their idea of duets are Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, etc. and whomever they sing a song with. By the way, Nola, where have you been? You haven't posted any messages on the Skeeter site for a long time. I don't comment too often but miss your postings.
