What a nice man! I drive over the Jimmie Davis Bridge and highway every day!
Wasn't his wife's name Sunshine, therefore, giving double meaning to the hit "You are my Sunshine?" ![]() |

Oh okay thanks for clearing that up. Guess that was one of those urban legends you hear about.

He is associated with several popular songs, most notably "You Are My Sunshine," which was designated an official state song of Louisiana in 1977. He claimed that he wrote the song while attending graduate school at LSU, but research indicates he bought it from another performer Paul Rice, who had recorded it with his brother Hoke, who recorded together as the Rice Brothers under Paul Rice's name. The practice of buying songs from their composers was a common practice during the 1930s through the 1960s. Some writers in need of cash often sold tunes to others.

Rice himself didn't actually write the words eiher, it came from a poem.
