Yes, I knew him. He was at our Church, First Baptist Church Baton Rouge. He was a great pianist and our organist. He played all over the regional area with Jimmie, who was also a Member of our Church. I sure enjoyed choir practice with these men. Yes.
If you listen to early Jimmie Davis recordings you will find he is the foundation from which country music evolved. A little blues, a little western, along with traditional folk music.
Just a bit of trivia. During WWII, Winston Churchill many times placed Bing Crosby's version of "You Are My Sunshine" on top of his favorites, and if memory serves, Bing sung it live for him a handful of times in person when Bing was in Europe doing shows for the troops. Bing's version of it, if not as "country" as Jimmie Davis' or Gene Autry's, still ranks in the pantheons of "country" music, AND pop, as one of the biggest hits of that era. Does anybody like it as good as I do? Just curious.
jimmy,s brother was my grandma,s daddy they owned davis brothers lumber in ansley louisiana i know live in jonesboro only a few miles from my home is the jimmy davis tabernackle
This clip should have a million hits or more. This is American history. I love Gov. Davis' singing.
Jimmie Davis & "You are My Sunshine"-it don't get no better than that, country gold!!
Still sounds great to hear after all these years.

I use to sing 'You are My Sunshine' to my little dog who crossed the Rainbow Bridge many years ago...I still cry every time I hear it.
