Back in my college days at UGA I had a English Setter named Skeeter after seeing Skeeter @ one of her shows in Athens - Great dog named after a beautiful girl and amazing singer !!!! RIP TO BOTH ….HBTFD ……
@Bobby Bare unfortunately No but if you have any plans to tour the U.K. I’d love to hear about it I gained my love of country and western listening to my dad’s records from the 50s and 60s he’s 86 now and loved it when I showed him this video
@Bobby Bare I’ve just realised you are 86 the same age as my dad How fantastic you are still staging shows and long may you carry on I love you voice You were a perfect match for Skeeter god bless you and may he rest Skeeters soul up in heaven
Dear John, oh, how I hate to write Dear John, I must let you know tonight That my love for you has died the way like grass upon the lawn And tonight I wed another, dear John. I was overseas in battle when the postman came to me He handed me a letter and I was just as happy as I could be Cause the fighting was all over and the battles have all been won But then I opened up the letter and that started, dear John. Won't you please send back my picture my husband wants it now When I tell you who I'm wedding you won't care dear anyhow And it hurts me so to tell you that my love for you has gone But tonight I wed your brother, dear John. And tonight I wed another, dear John...
Wow! I found it at last. I've been looking for this song in live performance for a long time now. Thanks although black & white video but still that Skeeter's voice made me feel so good.
(Skeeter Davis) Dear John Oh, how I hate to write Dear John I must let you know tonight That my love for you has died away Like grass upon the lawn And tonight I wed another dear John (Bobby Bare) I was overseas in battle When the postman came to me He handed me a letter And I was happy as I can be The fighting was all over And the battles, they'd all been won But then I opened up the letter And it started "Dear John" Dear John Won't you please send back my picture? My husband wants it now When I tell you who I'm wedding You won't care, dear, anyhow And it hurts me so to tell you That my love for you has gone But tonight I'll wed your brother dear John
Glenn Johnson I so wish the BBC had these two singing together on the Wembley Country Festival in 1968.Had the audio recorded from the show onto a reel to reel recorder.Back in the 80`s,i was MC at a Hillsider`s show in Sussex.When i first saw this just now on the country music channel on TV,i was hoping it was a clip from the 1968 edition.Anyway,great clip and thanks for this upload.
Like this song very much. Thank Skeeter Davis and Bobby Bare. Wonderful song with wonderful lyrics

Tough less glittered than studio voice, her live voice is more lovely to me.
Skeeters playful character shines through oh how I wished I could have seen her live such a beautiful soul

Dear John, oh, how I hate to write
Dear John, I must let you know tonight
That my love for you has died the way like grass upon the lawn
And tonight I wed another, dear John.

Lagu yang simple, muda dan santai dinyanyikan n bisa sambil bercanda, nyenengin pokoknya 😁🖒
Have you ever heard the answer to this "Dear Ann" It rises above!
Not yet. I'd like to listen
Forever listening to it.
I really like her voice.
Her voice is that good to the point that it's hipnotizing
love this song
Brillliant, beautiful, touching, heartfelt.

He handed me a letter
And I was happy as I can be
The fighting was all over
And the battles, they'd all been won
But then I opened up the letter
And it started "Dear John"
Dear John
Won't you please send back my picture?
My husband wants it now
When I tell you who I'm wedding
You won't care, dear, anyhow
And it hurts me so to tell you
That my love for you has gone
But tonight I'll wed your brother dear John
