Davis received five Grammy Award nominations including four for Best Female Country Vocal Performance in 1964 ("He Says the Same Things to Me"), 1965 ("Sunglasses"), 1967 ("What Does It Take"), and 1972 ("One Tin Soldier"). Davis was also an accomplished songwriter, penning almost 70 songs and earning two BMI awards for "Set Him Free" and "My Last Date With You," the latter of which was also recorded by Ann-Margret, Pat Boone, Kay Starr, Joni James, and several others in addition to Davis' original hit version. Conway Twitty wrote new lyrics for the instrumental in 1972 as "Lost Her/His Love (On Our Last Date), which reached number one on the country chart as did Emmylou Harris's remake of Twitty's version in 1983. In the 1990s, Deborah Harry recorded a remake of Davis' version featuring Michael Stipe, a long-time Davis fan. Davis' success continued after 1963. Her next follow-up came in late 1963 with "I'm Saving My Love" and another song in 1964 called Gonna Get Along Without Ya Now (which was an updated cover of the song, made a hit in 1956 by Patience and Prudence). Both were Top 10 hits on the Country charts and cracked the Billboard top 50 pop, the success of "Gonna Get" likely hampered by another remake of the song by vocalist Tracey Dey simultaneously climbing the charts to peak slightly lower than Davis' version.
