I liked that song. Coming from that era of time the song would mean more to me than to the younger generation..

Ms. Carmichael, I believe she too jumped off the Tallahatchie bridge. I never heard another song from her after this one!

One of my favourite songs. Did she make any more records? What happened to her?

The song is okay,but the singer is a mournful singer.
