Vintage glossy 8 x 10 photo of Elvis Presley's background vocal group, The Jordanaires, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "Skeeter, You've made this tour the happiest for me, Neal Matthews, Jr.," "Skeeter-I admire you for more than the fine singing & needless to say it has been fun, Hoyt Hawkins," "Skeeter: My best to two fine little gal singers who are also two fine little ladies-Hugh Jarrett," and "Skeeter-you're one of the sweetest girls I've ever worked with-Gordon Stoker." One member of "The Jordanaires" has added their band name to the photo. In fine condition, with some smudging to a portion of the Hawkins inscription.
The recipient of these photos was presumably Skeeter Davis, a country music singer who sang crossover pop music songs including 1962's 'The End of the World.' After starting out as part of the Davis Sisters as a teenager in the late 1940s, she earned a contract with RCA Victor and became a solo star in the late 1950s. She toured alongside Presley, Hank Snow, and The Carter Sisters in 1955 and recounted her friendship with 'the King' in her autobiography, Bus Fare to Kentucky.
