Jimmie Davis is remembered for two main things............a Louisiana Governor, and a great gospel singer. As a singer, his voice was mellow and clear. His back-up singers were called the Anita Curr Singers. His piano player was Drew Shaw who also played piano at the First Baptist Church in Baton Rouge. He made several albums of gospel songs. One of his most popular songs was called "When They Ring Those Golden Bells For You And Me." It was one of those "tear jerkers" that you never forgot once you heard it. He also recorded a hit record called "You Are My Sunshine". It was his number one big hit. It has gone down in musical history as a classic, and is still sung by popular artist today.
