Talk:Danny Davis (country musician)

Farewell to public performing

I'm removing the words "The first aircraft Danny Davis had was a Howard Super Ventura which wasn't really Davis's aircraft; it belonged to Hank Williams Jr. The second aircraft is correct." It doesn't seem relevant, but I'm placing the notice here in case someone wants to put it back in the article in a more relevant place. Settlet (talk) 22:58, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

You are absolutely correct. Adding the unreferenced template {{Unreferenced|date=September 2011}} would be entirely appropriate for this article.

Proposed merge of Dona Mason into Danny Davis (country musician)

As far as I can tell, this is the only single ever released by Dona Mason. While she is name-checked a lot, every source I could find is only a 20-years-later reference to her being the last Black woman to make the country charts until Rissi Palmer did. Of the three sources in the article, the only one that's really about her is her one-line bio in the Joel Whitburn Hot Country Songs book. The second source name drops her passingly in reference to Rissi Palmer, and the third in relation to Mickey Guyton.

• A search on World Radio History consists of nothing but chart listings for "Green Eyes", advertisements, or false positives.
• "Dona Mason" + "Jaroco" and "Dona Mason" + "Huntsville" gave zero results on newspapers.com. "Dona Mason" + "Danny Davis" on newspapers.com gave only an ad for the two acts doing a concert together at a hotel in Pennsylvania.
• "Dona Mason" + "Green Eyes" -rissi on GBooks gives only back copies of the Joel Whitburn books.
• Anything else I tried was only a tangential name-check in sources pertaining to Rissi Palmer.

I think her achievement is noteworthy, but there's really nothing to say about her and as far as I can tell she only had the one song on which she was a featured vocalist. I couldn't find any evidence of any other single releases of hers. I would recommend merging this to Danny Davis due to the lack of in-depth info on her.

Not sure what would be merged. The information in Mason's article is already in Danny Davis' article. I can't find anything to add, either. There's no available biographical information, the only additional sources I could find were Ebony and Jet, which like the sources already in Mason's article, merely state that until 2007, she was the last charting Black woman since 1987. In other words, my efforts have results matching Ten Pound Hammer's. A redirect to Danny Davis would be appropriate. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 23:34, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

I agree with the above users. Not much information can be found on Mason outside of the fact she charted one single in 1987. Redirect to Danny Davis. --Caldorwards4 (talk) 00:38, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Requested move 25 April 2024

Danny Davis (country musician) → Danny Davis and the Nashville Brass – Seems to be mostly about the Nashville Brass as a whole and not just Danny Davis. Most albums bear the name "Danny Davis and the Nashville Brass", and at least according to Joel Whitburn's books, all singles were too.
