It’s not a music video, it is a clip from a television show….she unfortunately died in a plane crash, her voice was exceptional!!!! Sweet Dreams by Patsy shows her range and control the best!
I was just going to say I think Willie Nelson wrote this! He and Patsy were friends back then and gave her the song. Years later Willie recorded it. ❤❤
i believe she had young children at home too. Correct me if I am wrong. I grew up listening to patsy on tv,radio,and at my parents gettogethers,usually playing cards. What a great generation I was born into. The 50s rocked and the next couple decades kept on rockin. Patsy was one of the first to try crossing country and pop or early rock,if you prefer. I also miss the class and innocence in music.
Shortly before this performance, Patsy had been in a horrific Car accident that left her with a scar on her face. She started wearing the headband to conceal it. Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn were great friends, with Loretta considering Patsy something of a mentor. Loretta was pregnant with twins when Patsy died in a plane crash, and one of the twins was named Patsy. Patsy's career was not a long one, but the impact she made to music is still felt today.
I always have the same reaction to this song. Willie Nelson wrote it but Patsy Cline lived it. That’s why it sounds so raw and real. You should watch the movie Sweet Dreams to get the whole story. It’s not a fairy tale for sure. Nashville stars used to have half hour shows where they performed and had guest singers as well. This was in the 1960s and they were syndicated across the country like Oprah, Kelly and Jennifer’s shows were/are in current days.
Patsy Cline was a superb singer who was able to appeal to country music fans and pop music lovers. Check out the last song she recorded before she was sadly killed in an airplane crash, Sweet Dreams
@Marnie-hates-winter fun fact that she didn't want to do it so when they were about done with the evening she said that she'd do it once and well you know the rest of the story
This song is over sixty years old and Willie Nelson is still writing music and performing. I can hear Willie in that sound. The cadence is his but that song belongs to Patsy Cline. The videos were film clips like the Elvis video, “Jailhouse Rock.”
You reacted to one of the greatest female voices in music history. Patsy's music will live forever. All of her music was special, especially the way she sang "Sweet Dreams". Sweet Dreams was released after she died. We lost her too soon when she was killed in the plane crash. RIP Miss Patsy Cline.
This is a clip from a tv show. We used to have something called VARIETY shows. It featured all different kind of acts. Singers, comedians, jugglers, dancers (tap, ballet, ballroom) magicians, animal acts (dogs, birds, cats) variety of talents.
Patsy Cline was one of country’s biggest stars of the time period. Her death in a plane crash totally shocked the world of music, she was a huge star ⭐️ and I don’t think fans ever got over her death 😢 I was a little girl when she was very popular & we had vinyl records to listen to her beautiful voice. She had hit after hit that fans waited for & loved ! RIP dear Patsy, you gave the world your beautiful voice to listen to from generation to generation 💗 Sending love from 🇨🇦☮️
This was on tv show The Grand Ole Opry. It's where most country singers became famous, with shows like this, and Ed Sullivan. Grand Ole Opry began on radio.
She's wearing that headband to disguise the scar of a recent car crash. Her voice was like no other. Nobody else sings like her. Those growls, purrs, hiccups are all her own. Check out some of her other songs - Walking After Midnight, She's Got You, Three Cigarettes in the Ashtray, I Fall to Pieces. An amazing talent, gone too soon.
This was recorded sometime between June 1961 when she was in a head-on car collision and hit the windshield and March 5, 1963, the date she died in a plane crash. She was wearing the band on her forehead that covered the scar. So many songs went unsung and unrecorded when she was taken away at age 30 😢
This was footage from a live performance on a weekly TV show with the studio version dubbed over it. Patsy was born in Virginia in 1932 and died in a plane crash when she was just 30 years old. She left a lasting legacy on country music but she was the first artist to really crossover into pop with standards like this. An unknown Willie Nelson wrote this song before his career took off.
Patsy was someone I grew up with as my home only listened to country and gospel music. My favorite song of hers is "Walking After Midnight". Just a cute story here my daughter was born in 1995 sometime around 2000 or 2001 she and one of my sisters and I were having lunch at an Arby's when this song come on. It surprised the heck out of my sister that my daughter knew the words to this song. Not just my influence she had heard it other places and liked it even at such a young age. This is also the same child who told to me quit singing one day when Elvis came on the radio so she could listen to him. He sang better than me. LOL
I appreciate how you sang along a bit at the end, and your honest comment "beautiful". That's the spirit and essence of truly great music, as this song and Patsy Cline was. Even now many years later in 2025!
This was a tv show that she was singing on and this is just a video of her portion of the show. Again no auto tune no jacking with anything just her standing there singing.
Patsy can put you in her feelings or put you to sleep at the same time. You k ow what she's saying and you know! And you can just relax and feel asleep to her songs. She's peaceful at heart and makes you peaceful!
They didn’t have Video Clips as such back then. A lot of artists performed on tv shows where they were the show filmed at the same time so that they could have a copy of each show. So the only performances we have of the stars from back in the day came from there. The more popular they were. The more they appeared on tv. The more archival footage we have of them.
FYI- The backup singers were performed by a group called ‘The Jordanaires”. They were used by many recording artists including Elvis. Check them out……Cheers
Leavin On Your Mind is another great example of Patsy's beautiful voice. It shows off her power & control in impressive fashion. In my opinion Judy Garland & Patsy Cline are two of the greatest women singers ever. Love your reactions.
You’re right about one thing: they didn’t have music videos back in the 50s. And this is not a music video either. It’s a clip from a TV show. They did have TV back in the 50s. This song was written by a very young Willie Nelson. And if I have to tell you who Willie Nelson is, then you need to go find out for yourself.
Patsy Cline recorded this song in 1961. It was VERY common to lip-sync to a recording for a TV show, and this is what was done here. It is part of a TV show, and by then it was probably recorded with an AMPEX video tape recorder that used 2 inch wide video tape. The audio was the original record that was released to radio stations and sold to the public. The musicians and singers mimed the music and words that were being played. Patsy was an incredible singer. I remember hearing some of her songs on the radio, but I rediscovered her many years later on Oldies stations.
Cline died at age thirty in a plane crash near Camden, Tennessee, in 1963, and became a musical icon in the decades following her death. In 1973 she became the first solo woman performer to be elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, Tennessee.
she was one of my parents' favorite singers, along with johnny Cash, Charlie Pride, Marty Robbins, and so many more country and gospel artists. The only artist my dad liked that wasn't country was Ray Charles, and he is The Man
Patsy was a big influence on k.d. lang she was the reason k.d started her career in country music please react to k.d’s version of this song also Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray & Walking After Midnight ❤x
Timeless. She was best friends with Loretta. They had some troubles with their marriages and leaned on each other. I grew up with a lot of country. (Movie- Cola Miner’s Daughter) There’s something special about every song, but the Texan in me, really loves “San Antonio Rose.” There’s actually a little pass between The Crockett Hotel and The Alamo. If you do that one, you’ll know what I mean, it’s a line in her song. You can’t go wrong with Patsy. Such a tragic loss when she passed.
Video from film saved. Jimmy Rodgers was the first music video (film) (Waiting for a Train). From the 1920's to the day he past away cutting records in N.Y. May 26, 1933. People stood a long the R.R. Tracks from N.Y. to Mississipi as his Body was transfered to his Resting Spot. Yes the first Elvis. Some called him country. I say he's Merican. Listen to "Pistol Packin' Papa) and tell me that's not Gangser Rap.Have a Happy New Years.
This wasn't exactly a music video, it was probably a clip from a TV variety show. That was how we got to see most of our music artists back then. Most folks couldn't afford to go to concerts back then. I would guess this was in the very early 1960s. I remember singing with this when it came on the radio. Later, (sometime in the 80s?) a young LeeAnn Rimes, who sounded like Patsy reincarnated, covered this song. I believe Willie Nelson wrote this song.
Willie Nelson says he first had "Stupid" but switched it to "Crazy" as it sings better. She worried it was too "pop" and not "country" enough. Now it is considered a country classic.
Thank you for playing the song and for your insights. I was a teenager in the late 50's and have always felt that we had the best music and enjoyed all types back then.
A wonderful movie to watch would be Coal Miner’s daughter. It is about the life of Loretta Lynn, but it also gives insight into the friendship with and tragic end of Patsy Cline‘s life as well.
Willie wrote it. Fun fact is that the 1st word in his 1st version wasn't "crazy", it was "stupid." He made a perfect change. Willie's version was much faster, too. "Patsy most definitely made it her own. You cannot mistake either of their voices.
Love Patsy❤ Another gem I hope you will look at is "I'm Sorry"" by Brenda Lee. In the Official Music Video she was 15. Started singing when she was 3. I believe you would like her
There's a movie about Patsy's life called "Sweet Dreams" Her music is lip-synced so it's Patsy singing. She was pretty popular and recorded quite a bit, in her tragically short life. My personal favorite of her's is "Leavin On Your Mind". She kills ballads. But she has some good upbeat songs too, "Lovesick Blues" is real Rockabilly.
Was a Live TV performance, they didn't have videos then. (They just used to replay the TV Show Appearances).. This would have been on a Country Music Show.
I don’t know that I have listened to your channel before, but I just wanted to say, it was a complete privilege listening to your vibrato. Thanks for singing along!
This is a clip from probably The Grand Ole Opry. Country singers who had joined The Opry back then,were on a recorded tv show and it is often the only performances we now have them. Scant footage of Hank Williams Sr. is an example. BTW: Willie Nelson wrote this song. When we replaced lust songs and graphic sexual songs for love songs,we lost the emotional attachment that goes along with them. It is a pity.
Love this song. Willie Nelson wrote this.
Lovely song,sang well❤
WILLY AND CHRIS... WROTE GOOD MUSIC.. GOOD BUDDY'S ❤ BLESS CHRIS IN THE HEAVENS💙💙💙
It’s not a music video, it is a clip from a television show….she unfortunately died in a plane crash, her voice was exceptional!!!! Sweet Dreams by Patsy shows her range and control the best!
It was a tv show. The headband is covering a wound from a car crash. She had incredible technique.
If I remember Correctly she also had one or more broken/cracked ribs from the car crash.......
Willie Nelson has said this is the song he's most proud of. We are blessed to have these videos and audio recordings. She was only 30 when we lost her
Willie Nelson is a fantastic songwriter.
I was just going to say I think Willie Nelson wrote this! He and Patsy were friends back then and gave her the song. Years later Willie recorded it. ❤❤
@sandralybrand9425 you are right
Patsy Cline was born in 1931 and died in a plane crash in 1963.
Only 32 years old! Wow, I knew she died in a plane crash, but didn't know she was so young at the time.
i believe she had young children at home too. Correct me if I am wrong. I grew up listening to patsy on tv,radio,and at my parents gettogethers,usually playing cards. What a great generation I was born into. The 50s rocked and the next couple decades kept on rockin. Patsy was one of the first to try crossing country and pop or early rock,if you prefer. I also miss the class and innocence in music.
@@audreyjohnson4599 so darn young.
Patsy was born September 8, 1932 and died March 5, 1963. She was 30 years old.
@@melissaward6311
She had children.. nit to sure of there ages when she past..❤ SWEET DREAMS.. IS BEUTIFUL 💝
Walking after Midnight is another good one by Patsy Cline, great reaction
Shortly before this performance, Patsy had been in a horrific Car accident that left her with a scar on her face. She started wearing the headband to conceal it. Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn were great friends, with Loretta considering Patsy something of a mentor. Loretta was pregnant with twins when Patsy died in a plane crash, and one of the twins was named Patsy. Patsy's career was not a long one, but the impact she made to music is still felt today.

Nashville stars used to have half hour shows where they performed and had guest singers as well. This was in the 1960s and they were syndicated across the country like Oprah, Kelly and Jennifer’s shows were/are in current days.
The beauty is the fact that that was her voice no auto tune no sound boards just raw talent
That wasn't a video it was a recording of a live TV performance
Patsy Cline was a superb singer who was able to appeal to country music fans and pop music lovers. Check out the last song she recorded before she was sadly killed in an airplane crash, Sweet Dreams
Am 73 and love Patsy's wonderful voice!! From New Zealand, Wednesday 8/1/25
That is a bandage on her head. She was nearly killed in a car wreck a few months before that performance.
Also read she had a broken rib, but still sang. That must have hurt like hell. She left us way too soon.
@@timradde4328 2nd this. She had tremendous talent. 🖖❤
They didn't have "music videos" they just show a performance of her and it's just as good or better that some of the other stuff we see out there!
She only allowed one take to get this done in the studio and it's one of Willie's biggest songs that I have heard to date
One take! Are you kidding me?! Phenomenal!
@Marnie-hates-winter fun fact that she didn't want to do it so when they were about done with the evening she said that she'd do it once and well you know the rest of the story
Gone way too soon. Patsy is a legend. ❤
I love everything about this song. Piano, backup singers, and Patsy.
This song is over sixty years old and Willie Nelson is still writing music and performing. I can hear Willie in that sound. The cadence is his but that song belongs to Patsy Cline. The videos were film clips like the Elvis video, “Jailhouse Rock.”
" Crazy" sung by Patsy Cline and written by Willie Nelson is considered the greatest Country song . I certainly do.
You reacted to one of the greatest female voices in music history. Patsy's music will live forever. All of her music was special, especially the way she sang "Sweet Dreams". Sweet Dreams was released after she died. We lost her too soon when she was killed in the plane crash. RIP Miss Patsy Cline.
Patsy was among the best that ever existed.
It was a TV show. Videos came along in the 1980's. Patsy's voice will draw you in. It's like her voice slices into you and makes you feel every word.
Actually music videos were produced in the 40's.
Timeless.
This is a clip from a tv show. We used to have something called VARIETY shows. It featured all different kind of acts. Singers, comedians, jugglers, dancers (tap, ballet, ballroom) magicians, animal acts (dogs, birds, cats) variety of talents.
Another Patsy Cline song you should react to is He's got leaving on his mind , She's got you is another banger as well
Girl could flat out sing
Patsy Cline was one of country’s biggest stars of the time period. Her death in a plane crash totally shocked the world of music, she was a huge star ⭐️ and I don’t think fans ever got over her death 😢 I was a little girl when she was very popular & we had vinyl records to listen to her beautiful voice.
She had hit after hit that fans waited for & loved !
RIP dear Patsy, you gave the world your beautiful voice to listen to from generation to generation 💗

KK what you didn't talk about was her great voice. This was a live TV show with no computers or autotune just great singing.
Music & Lyric Willie Nelson+
Producer Owen Bradley+
Backup Vocals The Jordanaires+

Perfection!❤
This was on tv show The Grand Ole Opry. It's where most country singers became famous, with shows like this, and Ed Sullivan. Grand Ole Opry began on radio.
She was on a TV show for this recording. She died in a plane crash in 1963. AMAZING voice.
The best (IMO) modern re-interpreter of Patsy's music is LeAnn Rimes, who did an entire CD of Patsy Cline covers.
My moms house cleaning music back in the 70s and 80s!! So glad I grew up with this great music!!
She's wearing that headband to disguise the scar of a recent car crash. Her voice was like no other. Nobody else sings like her. Those growls, purrs, hiccups are all her own.

This song is priceless because her voice is TIMELESS....
When I learned this was written by a young Willie Nelson I said Of course! You can hear it if you've listened to him all your life.
Willie also recorded this song.

When singers where singers and left to do what natural voices are supposed to sound like genuine 👏👌
One of thye greatest of all time, any genre
She was guesting on a TV show. Can't remember the name of the program but there were numerous musical programs back in 50s and 60s.
This is not a music video. This is from a live tv performance. Willie Nelson wrote this song. You’ve probably heard him sing it.😊
You should listen to her song "I Fall to Pieces". Amazing. Her voice was pure and beautiful.
Patsy was someone I grew up with as my home only listened to country and gospel music. My favorite song of hers is "Walking After Midnight".

It still gives me chills the way she holds her notes.Yes music needs more double entendres
It is one of the best songs in the history of music.
Leavin On Your Mind is another great example of Patsy's beautiful voice. It shows off her power & control in impressive fashion. In my opinion Judy Garland & Patsy Cline are two of the greatest women singers ever. Love your reactions.
Boomer here. I so agree about the innocence and subtlety of older music

This was the stuff I grew up hearing in the jukeboxes in Chubby's when it was further north on Broadway in the early 90s for me in Kansas City.
she was one of my parents' favorite singers, along with johnny Cash, Charlie Pride, Marty Robbins, and so many more country and gospel artists. The only artist my dad liked that wasn't country was Ray Charles, and he is The Man

Listen to her singing “ Life’s Railroad “ unbelievably wonderful ❤❤❤
Patsy and her mother lived right down the street in my hometown in Virginia. She grew up in a tiny town just west. All kinds of memorials to her here.
Originally, when Willie Nelson wrote this, it was called "Stupid"
I love all her songs they are great It was a great loss when she was killed
Willie Nelson says he first had "Stupid" but switched it to "Crazy" as it sings better. She worried it was too "pop" and not "country" enough. Now it is considered a country classic.
Patsy... the very pinnacle of female vocalists, IMO.
Live, no effects! Pure MF talent!
Another great son of hers that is hardly ever talked about is Sweet Dreams.
Thank you for playing the song and for your insights. I was a teenager in the late 50's and have always felt that we had the best music and enjoyed all types back then.
A wonderful movie to watch would be Coal Miner’s daughter. It is about the life of Loretta Lynn, but it also gives insight into the friendship with and tragic end of Patsy Cline‘s life as well.

Great, thanks! This is the best version of it I've heard her sing! Angelina Jordan has a couple of covers of it too!

There are many great Patsy Cline songs.

She tragically died in a plane crash in her thirties. My mom loved Patsy Cline.❤Great reaction
Was a Live TV performance, they didn't have videos then. (They just used to replay the TV Show Appearances).. This would have been on a Country Music Show.
I don’t know that I have listened to your channel before, but I just wanted to say, it was a complete privilege listening to your vibrato. Thanks for singing along!
***SHE'S GOT YOU***
She was probably on a TV show. We didn't have videos you could buy.
This wasn't a video it was a live performance. Pretty cool 😊
Jessica Lang plays Patsi in a movie about her life and death called “Sweet Dreams”. It’s so good!
great song, great reaction ..............thank you................
That is Floyd Cramer on piano and Chet Atkins on guitar. She died in a plane crash. I Fall To Pieces is another great song of her's
Patsy was killed on a Plane crash. Her best friend was Loretta Lynn. Loretta named one of her children after Patsy.
This is a clip from probably The Grand Ole Opry. Country singers who had joined The Opry back then,were on a recorded tv show and it is often the only performances we now have them. Scant footage of Hank Williams Sr. is an example.
BTW: Willie Nelson wrote this song.
When we replaced lust songs and graphic sexual songs for love songs,we lost the emotional attachment that goes along with them. It is a pity.
She was incredible!!!
Definitely!
Back when country music was actually music, and country singers could actually sing.
