The End of the World--Skeeter Davis (1962)

It is said that this song may have been inspired by the Cuban Missile Crisis, which took place a few weeks before it was released.

I didn't know that it could have been inspired by the Cuban Missile Crisis. She's from my era, but somehow I never heard of her or remember hearing her. I'm not a country fan, but now and then there will be one I like.

I got tired of coding links, but you picked the one I always listen to (I did describe the feature photo). Some versions of the same song and singer are better than others on yt.
