Jimmie Davis

Singer and songwriter, born 11 September 1899 near Beech Springs, Louisiana, died 5 November 2000 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame (1972), Gospel Music Hall of Fame (1994), Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame (1971) and the Shreveport Walk of Stars (2002). Known as [i]The Singing Governor[/i], for he was a successful country & western and gospel singer as well as a politician, serving two terms as Louisiana governor (1944-1948 and 1960-1964).

Review: Best known for penning the standard "You Are My Sunshine," Jimmie Davis was a contemporary of/brother in style to Jimmie Rodgers. He plays old-time country songs with a strong blues feel and the pre-requisite yodeling initiated by Rodgers. His earliest songs feature a striking, ribald sense of humor and clever usage of double-entendre. Two terms as Governor of Louisiana and almost eighty years later, Jimmie Davis still performs in public and even has a new record in the works.
