@SamRalls!/Ibe - The saddest fact about this is that many artists, during the 1950's through 1970's, lost their lives in plane crashes either while touring or, as in the case of John Denver, another vocalist, flying solo in his own plane . What a tragedy. How old was Patsy Cline at her death. I don't remember that from the articles😢.
This is one of the best country voices around. Patsy had so many great hits such as "She's Got You", "Walkin' After Midnight", "Sweet Dreams", "So Wrong", "Leavin' on Your Mind", "I Fall To Pieces" "San Antonio Rose", "Blue Moon Of Kentucky", "Half As Much", "He Called Me Baby", "Faded Love" etc. She was only 31 when she died in a plane crash in 1963. In 1985 Jessica Lange starred in the movie about Patsy's life called "Sweet Dreams". "Home Free" does a great cover of "Crazy".
Patsy Cline's short life was from September 8, 1932 (my parents were born in that year) - March 5, 1963, the plane crash occurred in Tennessee.-----How much more singing/fame she would've had if to have lived a longer life? ("Imagine That"), 30 is young.
Hey Britt I watched your reaction to the artist Willie Nelson, he wrote this song for Patsy Cline. And many many for other famous artists. Beautiful!!!!
The song was written by Willie Nelson. He was primarily a songwriter then. The demo that he recorded for Patsy to consider was much more snappy and up-tempo. Patsy decided to slow it down to a ballad and damn if she didn't kill it. Sweet Dreams and She's got you are two others that you need to hear. Loving your reactions.
Patsy designed most of her dresses, and her mother, Hilda, made them for her. EDIT: Patsy is considered "Nashville Sound" brand of country. Later known as "Countrypolitan." Her producer, Owen Bradley, who was a jazz musician himself, crafted this arrangement. Willie Nelson's original demo was straight up honky-tonk country. Also, the group singing backup with Patsy is The Jordanaires. They sang backup on most of Patsy's biggest hits.
The Jordanaires were in great demand, and sang backup for many greats, Elvis and Brenda Lee among them. That is also the great Floyd Cramer on the piano who is also very recognizable in his playing style.
Listen to the podcast Cocaine and Rhinestones, every episode is great. Season 2 is all over The Nashville Sound” or “Countrypolitan”. There’s even a whole episode on Owen Bradley.
@@daleb1279 - This is 'crying in your beer music' at its best. Patsy, Jim Reeves will make you drink. Floyd's "Last Date" is on a par with Brubeck's "Take Five" to me.
Patsy was gorgeous in so many ways. Her facial beauty was jeopardized by a very bad car crash which scarred her forehead. She responded by growing out her bangs and continued to show how beautiful she was despite the blemish. Her own woman, she was way ahead of her time as a recording artist, a wife, and a woman. Oh, the great music we missed out on when her early death snuffed out her bright flame.
Britt you are so cute! you got it down so good! yeah smokey, Earthy soulful and the way she climbs those scales up-and-down, Then Her voice cracks , so sexy!
My Dear, your own singing is nuanced and lovely...and you seem to be able to reproduce whatever you hear after just a single hearing. Absolute Wow! And all this on top of your touching and articulate reactions. Thank you for sharing! 😮❤😊
Oooh, I love this era. The era when singers really earned their bread. I mean, the first few lines and you know you're witnessing something outstanding. All these guys and girls were so good they could just blow you away a capella, let alone with an arrangement like this. This is music for my ears.
This is a Country ballad from back when the genre was still "real" Country. Miss Patsy was so incredibly gifted, and left us far too early. Thank you for the reaction, and I hope you come back for more from Patsy. As for a recommendation, it's all good.
I'm 56 and I'm so impressed with you young lady! You feel these songs and some leave you thirsting for more. I discovered you with Ode to Billy Joe and was captivated! You seem like the "girl next door" who loves life . And by the way....you give us an occasional hint to your own voice, and we'd like to hear more!
The two most hauntingly beautiful and purest female vocalists ever is patsy Cline and Karen Carpenter IMO. Unfortunately, both these women had a sad and tragic endings. Gone but never forgotten.
Hi Britt, Willie Nelson actually wrote this song and Patsy recorded it her way and it was a hit. She is one of the female icons of her time. If you want to hear another good version of this song Home Free does it also. Home Free - Crazy. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I think sultry and seductive are a couple other good words to describe her version.
I liked Faded Memories and Walking After Midnight actually everything she did...was perfection...the airplane cash that killed her and band was not just a crash...They went into trees and they ribbed apart...I watched a documentary where they ended with where site was and the memorial there ..I was crying before it ended...it's near Camden Tenn which is on Hwy 70 that goes on to New j JOHNSONVILLE,Waverly, Dickson on up to Nashville..
Every time Patsy opens her mouth, liquid velvet greatness just spills out. There is no bad performances in her files. Explore and prepare yourself. Legendary. Great reaction.
She was country but was the first crossover artist. She was the Queen of country. The 1st major woman singer and open the door for other female singers. One of a kind and revered by other musicians of every genre.
I always refered to her voice as "beautifully haunting" There is simply no voice to compare to her genuine feeling of every single song shes sings. I was so sad that her life was so short because the world would have been a better place with much more of her contribution to music...at least we have it eternally recorded for what she gave us. Just think what else she could have done had her life not ended so abruptly. She is one of a kind and will never be replicated.
Everything she did was good, "Walking After Midnight" is one of my favorites. I was around when these were first released. This was everyday American music in the mid to late 1950s. She was known as a country western singer, but this could be considered typical popular music of that era, it was on most any radio station that played pop music. It is sad, what has happened to music in this country. We had all kinds of wonderful music that we took for granted, thank God for TH-cam. I hope more of today's generation get exposed to music of previous decades.
Patsy Cline is considered the definitive voice of female country singers. Who knows what would have happened had she not died in that fateful plane crash on the 5th of March 1963? No one ever has or will be able to equal her beautiful voice. She was the first female country artist to headline her own show in Vegas. She kicked down doors for all the women who came after...
Patsy Cline was an amazing country singer. She and Loretta Lynn were best friends. She took Loretta under her wing when Loretta came to Nashville. My favorite Patsy Cline song is "He Called Me Baby," it is a beautiful, sexy song! You should listen to that one for sure. As for the writer of the song, Willie Nelson, my favorite songs he sings are three songs he did with Waylon Jennings, "Luckenbach, Texas," "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys," and "Good Hearted Woman." Also his duet with Ray Charles, 'Seven Spanish Angels" is amazing. My favorite song of his that he sings solo is "Whiskey River." Thank you for your reaction to Ms. Patsy Cline. And you have an amazing voice of your own as well!!
Patsy had a wonderfully evocative voice, very pure and natural. Don't worry about genre. It's all music. If it's good, and people hear it, it will be here.
This was 1961 my generation I was born in 1949. Patsy's marriage was bad from an abusive husband. That helps understand the song better. I grew up listening to her then she died in that plane crash.
What you say is true, but I would clarify that her lived life/experiences may have gravitated her toward the song, no doubt resonated with her. Willie Nelson wrote this song, incl lyrics.but no one could emote those words better than her!!! (probably what you mean anyway!!)
The music for this beautiful song was recorded while Patsy was recovering from bruised ribs suffered in a car accident. Weeks later, Patsy returned and nailed the vocals on the first take. Such talent!
Great reaction..Patsy is one of the greatest voices of all times..that's why we're still listening to her in 2023...check out SWEET DREAMS..for another great vocal gem.
This is not a true story. Willie Nelson who is a country music LEGEND wrote this song for Patsy. I would LOVE to see you do some Willie. Always On My Mind, Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground, or Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain. And as you always comment on the "look" let me just say that your look and fashion are on POINT!!!
We all know that Willie wrote the song but it was her life story. Just like it's our life story. If you ever been dumped you can relate. This song can be about anyone true story.
Willie definitely wrote the song but not especially for Patsy. He was living in a Nashville trailer park with two other writers and needed rent/food money and he sold the song to a promoter for $50...(from Willie's biography)
YES.. SWEET DREAMS SONG IS A SPECIAL ONE.. SHE SANG AT A BENNIFIT ..ON HER WAY BACK FROM THAT.. SADLY HER AND THE OTHER'S WAS KILLED IN PLANE CRASH. IF ONLY THEY WAITED FOR THAT FOG TO LIFT. MORE OF PATSY.😇🤗💫
Patsy Cline really made you feel what she was singing about. That pure tone of her voice, the breath control, that little yodely catch in her voice, and the ability to control pitch and volume is just amazing. I hadn't heard this song for many years and listened to it one day. I must have been in just the right mood because suddenly I was all waterworks. No autotune, just pure talent!
Patsy was a jewel with her own style so unique she crossed all genres of music. She was also a character. The song was written by Willie Nelson, but she brought it to life.
Patsy is one of my all time favorites with so many great songs. Even though she is a contemporary of the early rock-n-roll music scene, she takes me to the time where country ballads were popular, just before rock-n-roll really started dominating pop music.
My favorite Patsy Cline songs is Walking After Midnight. It's kind of a sad song but it really does show a ranger of her vocal talents. Sadly she died young in a plane crash in the 1960's. If you watch the movie Sweet Dreams that is the story of Patsy Cline's life. If you'd like another artist to listen to that kind of in the same genre of Patsy Cline there's also the singer Loretta Lynn who recently lost last year.
Patsy sang me to sleep many of nights when I was away overseas in the Air force missing my loved ones. She is the legendary queen of country-pop music. She's a legend cuntry-pop.
This song was written by Willie Nelson. She had this huge hit with it. So it's not a story of her life intentionally but this could have happened to her I dunno but her story is tragic enough as it is.
You have to hear this song through 1961 ears. I told you when you started this reaction journey you will come out the other side a different enlighten person. Music tells a story for each generation ..🤘😎
The late great Patsy Cline! Yes she was a snappy dresser. She grew up dirt poor in West Virginia and quite school to so go to work to help her mother support her younger siblings. She died at 29 in a plane crash. Leaving behind her beloved her mother , husband and 2 babies. Such a loss for the music world. Try her other hits "I Fall To Pieces" "Sweet Dreams" "Faded Love" there is a movie about her life called Sweet Dreams after the hit song starring Jessica Lange
She had a hard life..suffered from spousal abuse too..died in an accident way too young.. also listen to..I Fall To Pieces..its just as epic as Crazy..amazing woman..amazing voice..🇬🇧💕🙏✝️👏👍🎵🎼🇺🇸
Patsy Cline was from here in Winchester, Virginia. She was considered a country music singer but I just think she was a phenomenally talented singer PERIOD. She is buried about a mile from my house and the house she and her mother lived in is right here in town. Patsy was a woman before her time...strong, independent and fierce. The song "Crazy" was actually written by Willie Nelson. Patsy endured a lot on her short life but she fought back and paid no mind to those who doubted her.
Patsy was already a star when Loretta Lynn hit Nashville. Patsy was Loretta's favorite singer and Loretta would sing Patsy's songs on live radio shows. Patsy had a bad car crash and was in the hospital and heard Loretta on the radio. She called for Loretta to come see her in the hospital and Patsy told Loretta she sang her songs better and that Loretta would be a star. They became best friends and Patsy had Loretta touring with her. Loretta was devastated when Patsy died.
You just witnessed a true legend in the Country genre. Another brilliant vocalist taken too soon. In her brief career she had so many hit songs! I suggest Sweet Dreams for your next listen. The musical swell in the intro will leave you breathless and in awe, then the remainder of the song is flawless. Exquisite!!!
YOU obviously understand the beauty of Patsy Cline's sultry voice. She pulls at the heartstrings of listeners and tempts them with her deep passionate phrasing. Floyd Cramer's tasty, spare piano fills became legendary with this song - all country ballad piano backgrounds forever forward emulated his technique.
This song is absolute perfection. The music, the words, the VOICE, the delivery. Never been another song to equal this..in any shape or form. A fabulous WILLIE NELSON SONG.
You're going to love experiencing 'Blue' by Leann Rimes, her voice is like a modern Patsy Cline. This made her the youngest to win a Grammy at 14 years old, and pretty popular in the 90s.
Was at a point in time.. I think I vaguely remember her performing some of Patsy's hits. Although it was good, it wasn't as good as I thought it would be.
When I was little, my Granny and Papa had an old record player and a stack of very old vinyl LPs, I used to love putting on Patsy Cline. Such a wonderful voice.
Patsy had one beautiful voice! She brought a torch singer's technique to country music, which added to her appeal. This particular song was written by Willie Nelson, if you can believe it. Unfortunately, Patsy died in an airplane crash on March 5, 1963 at the age of 29. She left a husband and two children. Her manager and several band members also died in that cash. But the music she recorded before her death have left her a very rich legacy.
When Loretta Lynn was starting her career, she and Pasty were good friends and did some shows together. And Willie Nelson was the writer of this song and also preformed it later on in life during his career on an album. Loved hearing this again after hearing it in the 60's over the radio and live on stage.
Patsy felt every song she sang. She has a cry in her voice. A few songs you can hear her actually crying as she's singing. "Faded Love" & "Sweet Dreams". Loretta Lynn & Patsy Cline were best friends. Patsy is who other female singers( especially in country) strive to be like. Patsy had a short career. But over 65 yrs later fans are still listening & discovering her wonderful voice. I was only 2 1/2 when she died. There are 3 singers l wish l could of seen live in person......Patsy Cline, Judy Garland & Doris Day. If only l had a time machine......
I like your interpretation about the lyrics being empowering. You’re so right. I always saw this song as if she’s beating up herself. But what you said is spot on. Now I see her questioning herself as to “why did I let myself be so vulnerable? I must have been crazy!” We don’t see a woman feeling sorry for herself; we see a woman who has loved and learned.
It’s wonderful to see your reaction to a classic iconic singer as Patsy Cline. Introduced to old artists. It was interesting to hear you say introduced to new arts. It’s true they are new to you.
This is super old school country and she was one of the most important voices not even in traditional country but just in general for that time. She's one of the most gifted alto singers ever I believe. And the song was written for her by a young Willie Nelson, Willie Nelson the red headed stranger and the country Outlaw with the long red hair in the braids. I love his chord progression on this and she knocked it out of the ballpark. This is a huge hit at the time and I still hear people covering it and singing it at shows. It definitely has that kind of smoky lounge jazz feeling to it for sure.
The quintessential song which people in bars have cried to while nursing their private heartaches with a beer or mixed drink. Patsy has one of the most beautiful singing voices in recorded music history. Made all the more poignant in retrospect because she died so young and tragically. What might have been for the world had she lived we'll never know. Loved your reaction, how you tapped into her feelings as she sang!
Great reaction the late fifties and early sixties (pre Beatles) were a great time for vocalists. One of my favorite from this era is Nat King Cole, I would suggest "Ramblin' Rose", now a days about all people remember him for is "The Christmas Song" (Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...". He wasn't country, more Rhythm and Blues, his smooth voice was unmatched just as Patsy voice was.
There are few singers that have that special gift of a "cry" in their voice. Billy Holiday, Janis Joplin, Hank Williams and Patsy Cline, spring to mind. It's said. when you listen to them sing, it's like hearing the lonesome whistle of a distant train, late on a on a rainy night, that cuts you to your soul!
She is the female singer that all other female singers are compared to, even today. She was perfection.
Listen to Always.
Remarkable- that comes to mind. And PC tares thru the soul.
@@adamfindlay7091 She does, even after all these decades. Her music will never grow old.
That's completely false!
What a voice
Crazy was written by Willie Nelson. Willie just turned 90 years old today (April 29). Happy Birthday, Willie.
She died in a tragic accident. One of the purest voices you will ever hear. No overdubs....just a magnificent voice. A talent for the ages.
Well put ...
The song Crazy was recorded by Patsy in one take...........one
@SamRalls!/Ibe - The saddest fact about this is that many artists, during the 1950's through 1970's, lost their lives in plane crashes either while touring or, as in the case of John Denver, another vocalist, flying solo in his own plane . What a tragedy. How old was Patsy Cline at her death. I don't remember that from the articles😢.
shocking she died at age 30. YOu don't hear this type of singing and depth of feeling and clarity.
This is one of the best country voices around. Patsy had so many great hits such as "She's Got You", "Walkin' After Midnight", "Sweet Dreams", "So Wrong", "Leavin' on Your Mind", "I Fall To Pieces" "San Antonio Rose", "Blue Moon Of Kentucky", "Half As Much", "He Called Me Baby", "Faded Love" etc. She was only 31 when she died in a plane crash in 1963. In 1985 Jessica Lange starred in the movie about Patsy's life called "Sweet Dreams". "Home Free" does a great cover of "Crazy".
Amend that to not best "country" voices to plain Best Voices, period.
Don't forget You belongs to me

Hey Britt I watched your reaction to the artist Willie Nelson, he wrote this song for Patsy Cline. And many many for other famous artists. Beautiful!!!!
Patsy was singing when women had to dress appropriately not like today
The song was written by Willie Nelson. He was primarily a songwriter then. The demo that he recorded for Patsy to consider was much more snappy and up-tempo. Patsy decided to slow it down to a ballad and damn if she didn't kill it. Sweet Dreams and She's got you are two others that you need to hear. Loving your reactions.
Willie's words, and Patsy's voice...doesn't get much better than this. Classic Country at its very best.
Don't listen to her when you are heartbroken, you may not make it thru. Greatest voice ever.
As old as I am the beauty of watching young people seeing how great music was. No filters, No autotuned.
Same reason why I drop by these reactions. If you have not seen youngsters react to BeeGees, it is so great.
Timeless
Same here…lol…loving it! 70, I am… 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Absolutely ❤

They also were back up singers for Elvis from the late fifties to the early sixties.
♥ The teardrop in Patsy's voice can't be replicated.
Wow, that is the perfect imagery for her voice. 👍
@@DarqJestor Thanks ♥
Connie Francis has the same type of emotion in her voice.
I call it a cry, but teardrop works too.
I love her "Faded Love" where you can clearly hear the catch in her throat from the emotion she pours into her vocals.
Patsy was gorgeous in so many ways. Her facial beauty was jeopardized by a very bad car crash which scarred her forehead.

I was 4 years old when Patsy recorded it in 1961, things were wonderful including the music!
They don't make 'em like they used to - song writers, singers, bands... none of it.
Patsy Cline died in 1963 at age 30 in plane crash. She was an extremely talented singer and sold many albums.
Very sad … one of the greatest
I remember Roger Miller was in the search party and he found her body after the crash.
That she can sound so beautiful, and make it look so easy. Talk about a master of her craft!!
One of the all time greats.
Patsy was classified as country but they say she was one of the first country singers to cross over to pop as well. She was awesome!
Her music is more big band style than country. She is a great torch singer.
Exactly. Patsy is country.
@@charlesspencer1747No, not anywhere close to Big Band, but yes, Patsy was a major country torch vocalist.
This is a Country ballad from back when the genre was still "real" Country. Miss Patsy was so incredibly gifted, and left us far too early. Thank you for the reaction, and I hope you come back for more from Patsy. As for a recommendation, it's all good.
I love this, Patsy Cline was with out doubt one of the best female vocalist ever. She was pure country and she left us far too soon.🤠🤠

The two most hauntingly beautiful and purest female vocalists ever is patsy Cline and Karen Carpenter IMO. Unfortunately, both these women had a sad and tragic endings. Gone but never forgotten.
One of the most powerful things about Patsy's and Elvis's voice is that when they sing You FEEL It, very moving.
She has the best range with her voice that I have ever heard in my life. She is my all-time favorite.
One of the 50 masterpieces written by Willie Nelson !!

Liquid velvet is right.
She can make people who don’t like country music,,,,,LOVE her country music!

Patsy; one of the purest female voices ever. Now you need to hear some Karen Carpenter.
And I’d recommend “Masquerade” for Karen’s best contemporary production.
I always refered to her voice as "beautifully haunting" There is simply no voice to compare to her genuine feeling of every single song shes sings. I was so sad that her life was so short because the world would have been a better place with much more of her contribution to music...at least we have it eternally recorded for what she gave us.

I can't wait to see you react to more Patsy Cline.... Sweet Dreams and I Fall to Pieces are SO good. So happy to see you reacting to her. Peace!
And Back in Baby’s Arms
Sweet dreams and I fall to
Pieces - love , love love her !
Faded Love is a Patsy must!
Leavin' on Your Mind is my second favorite after this one.
She was beautiful and the voice of a angel..The Lord needed another beautiful voice up there..
An angel left us too soon.. RIP Patsy. She was in a toxic relationship, but still loved him.
"I fall to pieces" and " She's got you" are classic Patsy Cline.
She's got you is her best song, IMO. Crazy is most well known probably, but She's got You is just outstanding.
You got to add “Why Can’t he be You.” To that list. I’m amazed how that is always forgotten

Patsy was pure 1950's Grand Ole Oprey Country. One of the best vocalists of the Twentieth Century.
Her voice is so STUNNING . She was considered Country
Imagine this cracking and fading in and out on a old truck am radio with a single crappy little speaker in the dash. The 50’s had atmosphere ❤️
Absolute chills every time I hear her.
Life is Patsy ♥️
The music for this beautiful song was recorded while Patsy was recovering from bruised ribs suffered in a car accident. Weeks later, Patsy returned and nailed the vocals on the first take. Such talent!
Great reaction..Patsy is one of the greatest voices of all times..that's why we're still listening to her in 2023...check out SWEET DREAMS..for another great vocal gem.
Patsy was like country opera with her voice. Willie Nelson wrote this for her. She died in a plane in the mid 60's and my father rip cried
The best Country Singer. If you don't believe me, ask Country Female Singers of today.......
Patsy is the First Lady of country music, full stop that’s all. All others no matter how great follow her. Dolly is 1B ❤
This is not a true story. Willie Nelson who is a country music LEGEND wrote this song for Patsy. I would LOVE to see you do some Willie. Always On My Mind, Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground, or Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain. And as you always comment on the "look" let me just say that your look and fashion are on POINT!!!
According to Willie, the original title of the song was "Stupid" instead of "Crazy"
We all know that Willie wrote the song but it was her life story. Just like it's our life story. If you ever been dumped you can relate. This song can be about anyone true story.
Willie definitely wrote the song but not especially for Patsy. He was living in a Nashville trailer park with two other writers and needed rent/food money and he sold the song to a promoter for $50...(from Willie's biography)
You've gotta hear Patsy sing: "sweet dreams", she's absolutely amazing!!!
Many consider that this song and performance represent the best country music piece of all time. I tend to agree. Thank you, Patsy & Willie.
Every song she released, every hit she had, was before she turned 30. Guess God likes country music too.
Great reaction!!! So heartwarming to see the younger generation recognize and appreciate great music. Thanks again for the great reaction video.
Two words, "Sweet Dreams". She's had many fantastic songs but that one is special.
YES.. SWEET DREAMS
SONG IS A SPECIAL ONE.. SHE SANG AT A BENNIFIT ..ON HER WAY BACK FROM THAT.. SADLY HER AND THE OTHER'S WAS KILLED IN PLANE
CRASH. IF ONLY THEY WAITED FOR THAT FOG TO LIFT. MORE OF PATSY.😇🤗💫
Patsy Cline and Jim Reeves are, imo, the best country singers of all time. Listen to more of them and you will be happy you did.
Patsy Cine was one of the greatest female country singers of all time.
Patsy Cline really made you feel what she was singing about. That pure tone of her voice, the breath control, that little yodely catch in her voice, and the ability to control pitch and volume is just amazing. I hadn't heard this song for many years and listened to it one day. I must have been in just the right mood because suddenly I was all waterworks. No autotune, just pure talent!
Patsy was a jewel with her own style so unique she crossed all genres of music. She was also a character. The song was written by Willie Nelson, but she brought it to life.
You make me smile - a young face enjoying and "getting" the music of my youth. Thanks for sharing!
She was considered a country singer in her day, but was really a crossover between country and pop.
Patsy is one of my all time favorites with so many great songs. Even though she is a contemporary of the early rock-n-roll music scene, she takes me to the time where country ballads were popular, just before rock-n-roll really started dominating pop music.
My favorite Patsy Cline songs is Walking After Midnight. It's kind of a sad song but it really does show a ranger of her vocal talents. Sadly she died young in a plane crash in the 1960's. If you watch the movie Sweet Dreams that is the story of Patsy Cline's life. If you'd like another artist to listen to that kind of in the same genre of Patsy Cline there's also the singer Loretta Lynn who recently lost last year.
There will never be another Patsy Cline. You are so missed.
Patsy sang me to sleep many of nights when I was away overseas in the Air force missing my loved ones. She is the legendary queen of country-pop music.
She's a legend cuntry-pop.
I fall to pieces another great song from Patsy Cline
This song was written by Willie Nelson. She had this huge hit with it. So it's not a story of her life intentionally but this could have happened to her I dunno but her story is tragic enough as it is.
Patsy Cline, a voice that cannot be duplicated. Amazing. Tragically died in a plane crash at age 30.
Such power & soul in her voice! Only one Patsy, lost way too soon! Willie Nelson wrote this song & covered it too. My song for my first love 😢❤❤❤
You have to hear this song through 1961 ears. I told you when you started this reaction journey you will come out the other side a different enlighten person. Music tells a story for each generation ..🤘😎
The late great Patsy Cline! Yes she was a snappy dresser. She grew up dirt poor in West Virginia and quite school to so go to work to help her mother support her younger siblings. She died at 29 in a plane crash. Leaving behind her beloved her mother , husband and 2 babies. Such a loss for the music world. Try her other hits "I Fall To Pieces" "Sweet Dreams" "Faded Love" there is a movie about her life called Sweet Dreams after the hit song starring Jessica Lange
Love that movie ❤
She had a hard life..suffered from spousal abuse too..died in an accident way too young.. also listen to..I Fall To Pieces..its just as epic as Crazy..amazing woman..amazing voice..🇬🇧💕🙏✝️👏👍🎵🎼🇺🇸
The first of the song gave me chills and I have never had them before when I heard this
She was the first country diva ! Her mother and Patsy designed all of her stage costumes
Patsy Cline was from here in Winchester, Virginia. She was considered a country music singer but I just think she was a phenomenally talented singer PERIOD. She is buried about a mile from my house and the house she and her mother lived in is right here in town. Patsy was a woman before her time...strong, independent and fierce. The song "Crazy" was actually written by Willie Nelson. Patsy endured a lot on her short life but she fought back and paid no mind to those who doubted her.
Patsy was already a star when Loretta Lynn hit Nashville. Patsy was Loretta's favorite singer and Loretta would sing Patsy's songs on live radio shows. Patsy had a bad car crash and was in the hospital and heard Loretta on the radio. She called for Loretta to come see her in the hospital and Patsy told Loretta she sang her songs better and that Loretta would be a star. They became best friends and Patsy had Loretta touring with her. Loretta was devastated when Patsy died.
The finest female voice in country music EVER...but this song transcends genres...
You just witnessed a true legend in the Country genre.
Another brilliant vocalist taken too soon.
In her brief career she had so many hit songs!
I suggest Sweet Dreams for your next listen.
The musical swell in the intro will leave you breathless and in awe, then the remainder of the song is flawless. Exquisite!!!
YOU obviously understand the beauty of Patsy Cline's sultry voice. She pulls at the heartstrings of listeners and tempts them with her deep passionate phrasing.
Floyd Cramer's tasty, spare piano fills became legendary with this song - all country ballad piano backgrounds forever forward emulated his technique.
This song is absolute perfection. The music, the words, the VOICE, the delivery. Never been another song to equal this..in any shape or form. A fabulous WILLIE NELSON SONG.
Aaah, Patsy. One of the all time greats gone too soon ! Well chosen! ❤ (Try Walking After Midnight)
You're going to love experiencing 'Blue' by Leann Rimes, her voice is like a modern Patsy Cline. This made her the youngest to win a Grammy at 14 years old, and pretty popular in the 90s.
Was at a point in time.. I think I vaguely remember her performing some of Patsy's hits. Although it was good, it wasn't as good as I thought it would be.
@@Gutslinger yeah, she's got a great voice but it's not as low and deep as Patsy's.
Yes LeAnn is no Patsy. Good in her own way but not the iconic voice of Patsy. There will never be another Patsy.
One of the Best singers of All time!! I wish her and Elvis would have done something together ❤!!!!!!
When I was little, my Granny and Papa had an old record player and a stack of very old vinyl LPs, I used to love putting on Patsy Cline. Such a wonderful voice.
Patsy had one beautiful voice! She brought a torch singer's technique to country music, which added to her appeal. This particular song was written by Willie Nelson, if you can believe it. Unfortunately, Patsy died in an airplane crash on March 5, 1963 at the age of 29. She left a husband and two children. Her manager and several band members also died in that cash. But the music she recorded before her death have left her a very rich legacy.
When Loretta Lynn was starting her career, she and Pasty were good friends and did some shows together. And Willie Nelson was the writer of this song and also preformed it later on in life during his career on an album. Loved hearing this again after hearing it in the 60's over the radio and live on stage.
Fabulous Patsy mostly in her 20s and early 30s. What an era of music and she was one of the best.
This is my favourite Patsy Cline number. She has an amazing voice.
Patsy’s voice is Sensual! Reminds me of Doris Day singing “Secret Love” or Patti Paige doing Tennessee Waltz
Patsy felt every song she sang. She has a cry in her voice. A few songs you can hear her actually crying as she's singing. "Faded Love" & "Sweet Dreams". Loretta Lynn & Patsy Cline were best friends.
Patsy is who other female singers( especially in country) strive to be like. Patsy had a short career. But over 65 yrs later fans are still listening & discovering her wonderful voice. I was only 2 1/2 when she died. There are 3 singers l wish l could of seen live in person......Patsy Cline, Judy Garland & Doris Day. If only l had a time machine......
I like your interpretation about the lyrics being empowering. You’re so right. I always saw this song as if she’s beating up herself. But what you said is spot on. Now I see her questioning herself as to “why did I let myself be so vulnerable? I must have been crazy!” We don’t see a woman feeling sorry for herself; we see a woman who has loved and learned.
It’s wonderful to see your reaction to a classic iconic singer as Patsy Cline. Introduced to old artists. It was interesting to hear you say introduced to new arts. It’s true they are new to you.
This is super old school country and she was one of the most important voices not even in traditional country but just in general for that time. She's one of the most gifted alto singers ever I believe. And the song was written for her by a young Willie Nelson, Willie Nelson the red headed stranger and the country Outlaw with the long red hair in the braids. I love his chord progression on this and she knocked it out of the ballpark. This is a huge hit at the time and I still hear people covering it and singing it at shows. It definitely has that kind of smoky lounge jazz feeling to it for sure.
Such an amazing artist, taken way too soon. Walking After Midnight. I Fall to Pieces and Sweet Dreams are a must do.
The quintessential song which people in bars have cried to while nursing their private heartaches with a beer or mixed drink. Patsy has one of the most beautiful singing voices in recorded music history. Made all the more poignant in retrospect because she died so young and tragically. What might have been for the world had she lived we'll never know. Loved your reaction, how you tapped into her feelings as she sang!
The GOAT! I've been listening to her for over 40 years. She sang from the bottom of her belly. Her soul. Her music will transport you to your heart
Willie Nelson, the song writer, is worth a reaction or two (or three, etc.) himself.
Or four or five or 10 or…
Great reaction the late fifties and early sixties (pre Beatles) were a great time for vocalists. One of my favorite from this era is Nat King Cole, I would suggest "Ramblin' Rose", now a days about all people remember him for is "The Christmas Song" (Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...". He wasn't country, more Rhythm and Blues, his smooth voice was unmatched just as Patsy voice was.
Patsy Cline was just other worldly when she sang. She left us way to soon. She was only 30 when she passed.
Patsy was a country music star.
There are few singers that have that special gift of a "cry" in their voice. Billy Holiday, Janis Joplin, Hank Williams and Patsy Cline, spring to mind. It's said. when you listen to them sing, it's like hearing the lonesome whistle of a distant train, late on a on a rainy night, that cuts you to your soul!
