[ Post a Response | JIM REEVES FAN FORUM ]
Posted by Larry Jordan Jim did NOT like doing duets, but made an exception when it came to Dottie West because he admired her talent so much. Before she moved to Nashville, Dottie gave Skeeter some songs that Ms. Davis proceeded to play for Jim and Chet one Sunday afternoon. Reeves heard one he really loved, but deferred to Skeeter, who had chosen to record it. Skeeter was also at the Reeves home over the weekend following Jim's plane crash. Though she was eccentric and rather outspoken, I always found Skeeter Davis to be a very honest and down to earth woman without pretention.

Jim and Skeeter knew each other; in fact, I have a photo that Jim autographed to the Davis Sisters early in his career. I interviewed Skeeter on two occasions and she was a dear woman, though not the greatest singer in the world.
