Sucarnochee Revue Remembers Paul Davis
On Friday, February 5 at 7:00 p.m. Meridian’s Temple Theatre will host another performance of The Sucarnochee Revue.The Revue is a nationally syndicated radio show featuring performers from the Black Belt Region of Mississippi and Alabama. There will be an $8.00 admission fee.
The host for the Revue is Jacky Jack White. He has written hit songs for Neal McCoy, Charley Pride, Ray Stevens and Steve Wariner. This month’s show will feature a broad range of music, but also pay homage to one of Meridian’s most successful recording artists. In White’s words, "Paul Davis was the songwriter’s songwriter, the musicians’s musician, and one of the purest singers who ever stood behind a microphone".
Paul Lavon Davis (April 21, 1948 – April 22, 2008) was best known for his radio hits and solo career which started worldwide in 1970. His career encompassed soul, country and pop music. Notable songs in his career include 1977's "I Go Crazy", a #7 pop hit which once held the record for the longest chart run on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as the #6 "'65 Love Affair", his highest pop hit. In the mid 1980s, he also had two country #1 hits as a guest vocalist on songs by Marie Osmond and Tanya Tucker, and wrote singles for other country singers.
Artists appearing on the program include Mississippi Chris Sharp, J.Burton Fuller, Britt Gully,Track 45,the Stage Hands,Alex Goldman, Chase Cooksey, and the First Christian Church Choir.
The Sucarnocee Revue is aired locally Saturday afternoons on WMOX-AM, and on Mississippi and Alabama Public Radio. The Revue is broadcast internationally via public, commercial, and internet radio.
