Mary Frances Penick (December 30, 1931 – September 19, 2004), known as Skeeter Davis, was an American country music singer who sang crossover pop music songs including 1962's "The End of the World".

She started out as part of the Davis Sisters as a teenager in the late 1940s, eventually landing on RCA Victor.

In the late 1950s, she became a solo star.

One of the first women to achieve major stardom in the country music field as a solo vocalist, she was an acknowledged influence on Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton and was hailed as an "extraordinary country/pop singer"

In 1963, Davis achieved her biggest success with country pop crossover hit "The End of the World".

The song just missed topping the country and pop charts that year; however, it did top the adult contemporary charts.

The record was also a surprise top five hit on the rhythm and blues charts, making Davis one of the very few white female singers to have a top ten hit in that market.

The single sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.

"The End of the World" soon became Davis' signature song.

Davis achieved one other country-pop hit with the Gerry Goffin and Carole King-penned "I Can't Stay Mad at You", which peaked at No. 7 on the pop charts and No. 2 on the Easy Listening chart in 1963.

She made several appearances on the pop music show American Bandstand in the early 1960s and a decade later was one of the first country artists to appear on The Midnight Special..
