The British comic and singer achieved big success with her eighties albums, and in particular, one retro-sounding hit single.

Many Americans know Tracey Ullman as the one whose Fox television show gave birth to The Simpsons. She has had a prosperous career in TV and film, on both sides of the Atlantic.
A start in musical theater eventually led to the release of two albums from her in the eighties. An international smash single from her made her a star.
Speaking of SKEETER DAVIS she was once married to well-known radio and TV personality RALPH EMERY. They were married for four years until their divorce in 1964. Ralph had been a disc jockey and hosted POP GOES THE COUNTRY, a syndicated TV show. He is probably best known for hosting the prime-time show NASHVILLE NOW. It was on for at least ten years and aired on TNN, which stood for THE NASHVILLE NETWORK. Do you know Mr. Emery's work? CLASSIC TV FAN
ReplyDeleteI don’t, but I’m not big on country music .I only know Skeeter Davis for that song “The End of the World.” I wouldn’t call that a country song.
ReplyDeleteAre there any country singers that you enjoy their music? Some of the female singers that I like are REBA MCENTIRE, DOLLY PARTON and especially PATTY LOVELESS, TRISHA YEARWOOD and MARTINA MCBRIDE. Also from the past BARBARA MANDRELL and JANIE FRICKE. Barbara was really big back in her day. She was pretty and had sex appeal. She did a TV-MOVIE with TOM WOPAT for CBS called BURNING RAGE in the early 80s. CLASSIC TV FAN
ReplyDeleteSure. Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton. Really like Emmylou Harris.
