Mary Reeves Davis, known as Skeeter Davis, was a pioneering country music singer-songwriter from Dry Ridge, Kentucky, best known for her genre-bending blend of country, pop, and gospel music. Released in 1967, "Sings Buddy Holly" found Davis, already a seasoned Grand Ole Opry performer, reinterpreting rock and roll classics two years after her own career peak with "The End of the World."
