Here's my favorite version of this song. Dynamite arrangement by Anita Kerr and great vocals by Skeeter! Released on the 1963 album, "Skeeter Davis Sings the End of the World." First recorded by Wanda Jackson in 1956, "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" was originally a hit for the Springfields in 1962 (charting at #20 Billboard Hot 100, #16 Country).
Other chart placings: #54 Hot 100 for Jody Miller in 1965, #74 Hot 100 for the Cowsills in 1969, #68 Country for Charlie McCoy in 1974, #67 Hot 100 for Linda Ronstadt in 1974 (#20 Country), #68 Country for Loretta Lynn in 1993 and #68 Country for Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette and Loretta Lynn in 1994.
