-----------June 3, 2005Jimmie Davis Biography James Houston "Jimmie" Davis(1899 - 2000) Jimmie Davis got his start in the music business writing country songs in the 1920s and 1930s. His most popular tune was “You Are My Sunshine,” written in 1940. He also played roles in several westerns filmed by Columbia Pictures in the 1940s. It was also in the 1940s that Davis pursued a political career, ultimately becoming governor of Louisiana in 1944. In his later campaigns for political office, Davis would sing gospel music while the Plainsmen Quartet backed him up. This endeared him to voters, and he served a second term as governor in the early 1960s. Davis recorded on the RCA Victor label and also on Decca, and was best remembered for his performances of the songs “Suppertime” and “Mansion Over A Hilltop.” He also wrote a number of gospel songs including "Someone To Care" and “Sheltered In The Arm Of God” (co-written with Dottie Rambo). Davis served a term as President of the GMA in 1967, and later married former Chuck Wagon Gang member Anna Carter Gordon. The Nashville Songwriters, Country Music, and the SGMA have inducted Davis into their respective Halls Of Fame. Labels: biography posted by David Bruce Murray @ 10:27:00 PM
