Skeeter Davis was very popular in Jamaica. I remember reading about the Montego Bay World Music festival in 1982 where she played on a bill with, among others, the Grateful Dead. The local taxi drivers were over the moon that Skeeter Davis was actually going to be performing.
They did have questions about this “Grateful Dred” guy, though. They wanted to know why his fans were dirty and ill-mannered.

I saw Skeeter Davis perform at the Grand Ole Opry in 1992. She seemed like a very nice person, in stark contrast to the enormous ego of Porter Wagoner, who was also on the bill.

It is said that “The End of the World” may have been inspired by the Cuban Missile Crisis, which occurred a few weeks before the song was released.
