In a performing career spanning eight decades of the 20th century, Jimmie Davis embraced both risqué country-blues and later traditional gospel, meanwhile maintaining a concurrent public-service career that saw him twice elected governor of Louisiana.
In fact, his greatest musical successes came during his two terms as governor, once in the mid-'40s and again in the early '60s.
