Skeeter Davis – The Artist

Skeeter Davis (1931 – 2004) was an American country music singer and songwriter 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” by music critics.

The End of The World – The Song

“The End of The World” is a pop song written by composer Arthur Kent and lyricist Sylvia Dee, who often worked as a team. They wrote the song for American singer Skeeter Davis, and her recording of it was highly successful in the early 1960s in both the UK and the US. It spawned many cover versions. “The End of the World” is a sad song about the aftermath of a romantic breakup. Dee, the lyricist, said she drew on her sorrow from her father’s death to set the mood for the song.

The Atomic Mushroom Cloud – The Shape

This record has been modelled into a mushroom cloud made by an atomic explosion. A mushroom cloud is a distinctive mushroom-shaped flammagenitus cloud of debris, smoke, and usually condensed water vapor resulting from a large explosion. The effect is most commonly associated with a nuclear explosion, but any sufficiently energetic detonation or deflagration will produce the same effect.
