As a good son I'm asking this question for my mother. Her and some of the ederly ladies at the senior citizens home are trying to remember who 1st sang the song Your Nobodys Darling But Mine. It would be nice if I could find out for her.
Thanks

Although Tex Ritter and Gene Autrie may have recorded "Be Nobody's Darlin" they were not the first.
The prize goes to the man who wrote it. Gov.Jimmy Davis of Louisianna.
The last recording of it I can think of was by Clinton Gregory.

My favorite cut of all time on this song was by the Louvin Brothers. Charlie sang the first verse and Ira harmonized on the bridge. Later in the song they switched parts and Ira sang the lead with Charlie harmonizing and then Charlie went up an octave where Ira was and the Ira harmonized on top of Charlie. They covered about three octaves on their version of this song. If you ain't hip to the Louvins you're missing out on some great music plus some hot fingerstyle guitar by Jimmy Capps, Paul Yandell, etc. and some beautiful acoustic mandolin by Ira Louvin.

I believe Jimmy Wakely did this song, but Jimmy Davis for positive did a good job on his recording of this. A good old song.

Gov. Jimmie Davis is the correct answer. As a side note, I had the priviledge of doing a session with the late Gov. in 1997. He couldn't get his throat cleared enough to even warm up. We asked him could we get him something and he told his wife, Mrs. Anna, to get him "a piece of light bread and a glass of water". She did and it worked! He began to warm up and sing those old songs. "Someone to Care" sent cold chills up my spine! One of the most memorable days of my life!
