@@jamelakajamal Now that's what you call OLD SCHOOL ! How about going back another 20 years to Sentimental Journey by Doris Day - One of the top 5 female performances of all time only to be rivalled by the great Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holliday ..
25 years ago, two of my teenage nieces and their friends were sitting in the car listening to the radio. They came running in the house yelling, come hear this singer! She's going to be a star! They had discovered Patsy Cline 35 years after she died. Her talent is timeless.
My nephew is 10 now. When he was around 6 or so, he heard Elvis for the first time. He wanted to know if we could ever go see him sing. I had to explain that Elvis had passed away a long time ago. He was upset. Same thing happened again when he heard Whitney Houston.
Had a funny with my daughter,when she was around15,she came in from outside with her girlfriends saying to her Mom,there's a new artist and we love her new song!!!!!. She said the songs name and artist,so I started singing the song,long story short. SHE went ballistic and argued with me that there was no way could have known this artist and song!. I said sweetie that was hot before you were born,still didn't believe..............
Same here,my great aunt was famous for crying in her beer.to this music,I grow up,with all 4generation of women crying in their beer to this song including me.
Tell me you've heard that song then... That would be a crying shame if you haven't heard that Hank Sr. song. I'm gonna keep drinking... till I am petrified. 'cuz then maybe these tears will leave my eyes!
This was my mother's favourite song. A couple of months after she passed, I went shopping alone to a store where we often went together. I was in the change room when I heard her call my name. I said aloud "Is that you mum?" and smiled at myself when no answer came, thinking "Don't be silly". Then this song started playing in the shop and I knew she was there 🥰💖
Wow. I used to sing this song with my Mom, then for her in her final years. I always think of my Mother when I hear it. Now I will always think about you and your Mom too ❤️
I find the way pasty cline got her voice to be so interesting...truly wish mine would come like that. But I'll be grateful and take my singing voice anyway God gives it too me!!
She was a beautiful woman. At the time this was done, she had been in a car accident that left scars on her forehead, so the headband was there to cover them. She's one of the best female singers to grace this planet.
She was broken.... her personal life was hell.... but she kept on going, and never let the audience know what she was going through. She was taken from this life way, way too soon.
When she was recording the song ‘if you’ve got leaving on your mind’ she apparently had tears streaming down her face. I think this was not long before she died and was in a bad marriage.
No ass shaking in thongs, no cursing, no bland bass beat from a song someone else made, no repeating the same word from beginning to the end of the song and calling it lyrics, no autotune.. Just pure skill and golden talent.
This was quite a while before editing was common. Everything was one continuous take. This was before punching in and digital mixing boards and everything. Just. Pure. Soul-grabbing. Talent.
There's a depth in her voice, as if layered with other voices. Her voice is rich and smooth in a way rarely found. Karen Carpenter had the same quality.
Patsy wearing the headband covering the scar from the car wreck. Willie Nelson wrote this song and sold it for a bag of groceries to the record company
She was a great singer and can cause alot of tear jerking but all the same fantastic,she died in airplane crash March 5, 1963 near Camden Tennessee with pilot Randy Hughes, she was going to Nashville Tennessee, it was a sad day for many RIP.
Willie was a successful songwriter . Things seem strange with 60 years of inflation inbetween . Willie recieved typical compensation as a staff songwriter , within the prevailing music industry of the day .
The best can do that. The studio (and radio single) recording of "Superstar" by Carpenters was not only Karen's first take, it was the first time she had sung the song, reading the lyrics off a piece of paper...it is no surprise at all that Patsy would have been the same way.
It's a perfect song by Willie Nelson. Perfect. The words and phrasing are perfect. And it is something a lot of us have endured. Didn't we all love somebody who didn't love us back?
There is a movie about her life. I remember watching it when I was like 12 (back in the late 60's). Excellent movie! That's when I fell in love with her voice.
@@lowrider4266 It was written for country singer Billie Walker, who turned it down. Later Willie played it to Patsy Cline's husband on a juke box while they were both drunk and the husband then persuaded Patsy to record it.
There are artists like Johnny Cash who didn't have a beautiful voice, but they communicate emotion so powerfully with their music that it just doesn't matter. There are also musicians like Patty where the emotion is powerfully communicated AND they have a beautiful voice. Her breath control was also inSANE! She makes it seem effortless.
Good point. And thus Karen Carpenter and Billie Holiday are both titans...one because of her voice's perfection, the other because of its magnificent flaws...
I always loved Patsy Cline such a tragic loss. I am 69 and glad to see that younger generations can still appreciate such a wonderful voice. God bless you.
She will give you the chills. Awesome singer!!! You could always understand each word she sang. Top notch queen of country. Left this world way to young😇😇😇😇😇
Patsy not Pastie 😉 She's a pure voice. Pure voice and a little naughty for her day. She had very rigid rules she had to play within at the grand old Opry that especially in that era was dominated by good ol' southern boys. And, she was a mentor to Loretta Lynn. I jes luuuuuvvv this sawng and her voice #lawd! 🎵🎶💖💖🎶🎵
@michael dowson Exactly! How many pretty young women could keep up kicking butt in the 1950s ROCKABILLY scene??!!!! I'd bet she had to be fireball at that time to make it among those boys.
One of my earliest memories was walking into the kitchen when I was about 5 years old and seeing my mother and father dancing to this song as it played on the radio. My mother invited me into the dance and the three off us held each other as we danced around the kitchen.... Thanks mum and dad for those special times, and thank you dad for getting me forever listening to music with open ears.. Miss you both... RIP.
Willie Nelson is the writer of this song. That headband around her forehead was to hide a scar that she received in an automobile accident. She died in a plane crash a couple years after this was recorded unfortunately 😔
Patsy performed when any singer had to be a great singer... And she stood head and shoulders above all of them. Patsy was the epitome of what a singer should strive for.
I bought my dad the “box set” of Patsy Cline back in the early 90s.He would pick me up from collage during breaks ( couple of hours away) and would play Patsy Cline non stop. I hated it. I lost him over 15 years ago. Now when I hear Patsy Cline it brings back such good memories of my dad.
Sounds like me with my dad. His favorite was Johnny Cash, and he'd pile a stack of his albums on the record player. I couldn't stand Cash then, but have grown to love his music.
I remember my dad listening to her music when I was growing up. She was like a mentor for Loretta Lynn. She died very young in 1963 at the age of 30 in a plane crash. I wish there was more music of hurts to listen to.I would definitely listen to her song Sweet Dreams. She crossed the country and pop barrier back in those days.
I like seeing different races indulge in each others culture . The world needs more of this. We need to celebrate the thing we have in common as well as our differences.well done brother
This is one of my all time favorite songs. Does't matter the time period, doesn't matter the person. Heartache has been a part of humanity, and always will be. It's why songs like this resonate, regardless of the style. Plus, her voice is angelic and unique.
I mentioned that “I Fall To Pieces” will also give chills BUT another song she did called “Sweet Dreams” most definitely will. Highly recommend both tracks.
Don1970 Sweet Dreams was a great song used twice in one of my favorite movies: The Departed. Once as Patsy Cline’s version in the cocaine scene with a Jack Nicholson, and as the closing song done by Roy Buchanan as an instrumental.
Willie Nelson wrote this. RIP Patsy. She died relatively young in a plane crash. She was so amazing. I wasn't even alive when she sang this and I adore her!!!
YES!!!! Though I prefer Dusty's version, I would suggest following with Aretha's, just to hear how a great song can be rearranged and still sound awesome. (Aretha's father was a preacher, and all the sisters usually sang backup on each others' records, so there's that too...)
Someone once said the greatest part of her voice was when she sang you can her the cry her voice has. That is why she truly could sing these kinds of lyrics.
@@RobotChampionSC Phoebe Snow At Last. From Rock n Soul Review. Should also check out the original from Glenn Miller, I'll leave the links. I think the Glenn Miller one is on YT, I know the Phoebe Snow cover is. : th-cam.com/video/JgBrmOZCyVg/w-d-xo.html and this one is Glenn Miller starts about 1:10 into the vid: th-cam.com/video/3ueA3BguK9Y/w-d-xo.html
Yes indeed! Probably my favorite song by Patsy although they are all my favorites when you come right down to it. Take a listen to this fitting tribute to Patsy by Rhiannon Giddens: th-cam.com/video/29aqzu9DBiU/w-d-xo.html. She really did Patsy proud!
Patsy Cline was one of the greatest female singers of all time. Like Aretha and Mahelia are the most imitated in Soul, Patsy is the most imitated in country even to this day. Her voice is smooth electric.
When they say the song is a "standard" musically.......this is not "a" standard, it is "THEE STANDARD".........and so was Patsy........all that followed tried to be worthy.......an endless mountain to climb.....only Patsy was at the top......
She was a great who died far too soon. For another great singer along about the same time period try Jim Reeves "He'll Have to Go". An all time classic.
Do you know there were a couple songs where RCA (Reeves' label) and MCA (Patsy's label Decca became MCA property) jointly produced two duets of Jim and Patsy from master tapes...?
I grew up on Patsy Cline, but didn't appreciate her until I was grown. All these years later I still cry when I hear Patsy sing. Her voice is so beautiful and most of her songs really hit me with all the feelings. Thanks for the video.
I like what you said about her voice. It’s true. Back then there was no digitally augmented voices that make people who really can’t sing stars. She passed away so tragically too.
An album came out in the early 80s of Jim Reeves WITH Patsy Cline. By then tape engineers were really good, so I'm not sure if they actually recorded together or if it was matched together(?)...
I love dusty I am a dude and I'd often cover son of a preacher man and I didn't change the pronouns. It went over well. I happen to be straight but I'm comfortable
To me, this is one of the greatest recordings of all time. Great song by Willie Nelson, incredible performance by Patsy, great gtr by Hank Garland, great piano by Floyd Cramer, and great production by Harold Bradley.
Glade to Enjoy this with you!! Love me some PATSEY CLINE!! Not PAISTY!! 😂
Yeah I realized I read it wrong after🤦🏾♂️
I absolutely love Patsy! I don't know if you saw my post but she died at the age of 30 in 1963 in a plane crash. I wish there was more music of hers

If she was ever on Play Boy after dark, we might have gotten Paisty Cline, lol
Pasty Cline was the one who worked in burlesque.
“I Fall To Pieces” will give you chills too.
Don1970 my favorite!
OMG YES!!!!! That is another fantastic song by a phenomenal singer!
Another good one is I Go Out Walkin' After Midnight..

Yes, it will!

Great story!
Makes me sad and happy at the same time.

She said the songs name and artist,so I started singing the song,long story short. SHE went ballistic and argued with me that there was no way could have known this artist and song!.
I said sweetie that was hot before you were born,still didn't believe..............
If I'm not mistaken this song was actually written by a then unknown Wille Nelson.
yup
You're right.If you ever play GTA San Andreas thst version is on country radio.
Correct
Not only that, Patsy didn’t really want to do it. Her husband had to talk her into it.
Definately a Willie Nelson song.
Willie Nelson wrote it but said “Patsy Cline made it a hit.”. and she really did make it her own...the way she comes into each verse....genius!
Like Monkee Mike Nesmith and Linda Ronstadt "Different Drum" , he wrote it, she made it
Then he said on vh1 storytellers with johnny cash, original title was stupid. Lol
I do like Willie's version too. It's here on YT.
This is what my Mom used to call “tears in your beer” music.
Sherri Bearden my mom called it beer drinking music , she loved Patsy Cline and so do I to this day.
Same here,my great aunt was famous for crying in her beer.to this music,I grow up,with all 4generation of women crying in their beer to this song including me.
Well if this isn't the best description I've heard!🤣👏
Tell me you've heard that song then... That would be a crying shame if you haven't heard that Hank Sr. song.
I'm gonna keep drinking... till I am petrified. 'cuz then maybe these tears will leave my eyes!

This is whiskey drinking, sitting in the dark, contemplating every life decision you ever made😂😂😂😂
Yaaas
Yaasss
Oh yes
And if you need more, put George Jones on and well, its going to be a long night of drinking and questions.
You speak the truth my friend
Cheers!
For sure!
Her voice is so haunting. Never another like her. She actually helped Loretta Lynn on her way. Gone too soon
I find the way pasty cline got her voice to be so interesting...truly wish mine would come like that. But I'll be grateful and take my singing voice anyway God gives it too me!!
Yes definitely gone too soon , only 30 years old
@@dustinpritchett5684 remember ask and you will receive
Patsy Cline's voice makes your soul ache. Truly one of the best!
No its Pasty Cline ! Not Patsy 🤣🤪😂🤣🤪😂
She does touch your soul, and make you feel things you haven't for a long, long time. ❤❤❤❤
She was a beautiful woman. At the time this was done, she had been in a car accident that left scars on her forehead, so the headband was there to cover them. She's one of the best female singers to grace this planet.
Thank you, I always wondered about that fashion choice for her video.
Why not cover it with her own hair ("bangs"). I think it would have looked better :)
@@brooklyngal6334 ...I thought the same thing. I've watched this video so many times and wondered about it everytime. lol Thanks, Karen for the info.
@@cnatview She seemed ahead of her time with that headband. lol.
@@brooklyngal6334 ....Yeah, an earlier day version of Olivia Newton John when she did the video for the song, "Physical." lol
I'm more of a rocker, but talent is talent patsy was smooth as silk
Or as they say, good is good.
Patsy was an outstanding vocalist of any genre .
The ache in her voice is palpable. Nobody sings pain better than Miss Patsy.
Made me cry
Old Hank could sing some pain to.
Her husband was or ex was putting her through Hell!!!
So The Producer Told Her To Put All Her Emotions Into Her Voice
written by Willie Nelson
She's sings like her soul is broken....beautiful.
She was broken
She was broken.... her personal life was hell.... but she kept on going, and never let the audience know what she was going through. She was taken from this life way, way too soon.
Her husband was an abusive dick
@@donnamixon1195 How apropos that you said that....considering his name was Charlie Dick
When she was recording the song ‘if you’ve got leaving on your mind’ she apparently had tears streaming down her face. I think this was not long before she died and was in a bad marriage.
No ass shaking in thongs, no cursing, no bland bass beat from a song someone else made, no repeating the same word from beginning to the end of the song and calling it lyrics, no autotune.. Just pure skill and golden talent.
Quite. (But a friend of mine who was a country artist back in the day and knew Patsy a bit did tell me she could cuss very well...) :-)
Real music. Lyrics said it all
Well said
Amen
Exactly. Artistry and creativity expressed through music. Not chasing the sales.
Most of her songs were shot in a single take. No dubs, no editing, no auto tune. So pure.
This was quite a while before editing was common. Everything was one continuous take. This was before punching in and digital mixing boards and everything.
Just.
Pure.
Soul-grabbing.
Talent.
She understood pace. No note will be sung before it’s time!
I Fall To Pieces is another one of her classics
There's a depth in her voice, as if layered with other voices. Her voice is rich and smooth in a way rarely found. Karen Carpenter had the same quality.
I would like to add Rosemary Clooney (George's aunt) to the list also, these ladies had voices that cut deep, they were so smooth
Oh gosh Karen Carpenter! So great 🥰
Apples and oranges Patsy had it all over Carpenter. Smooth yes but no soul.
@@willrockell3989 Thank you!
@@birchandmorley I used to hear Julie London and Peggy Lee a lot at my dad's house when I was little. They don't grow them the same these days.
Patsy was in a car wreck and recovering when she recorded “Crazy”. She was on crutches , bruised up and still delivered.
Yep you are right and she didn't originally want to do the song but when she did it was in one take.
She was wearing a headband and bangs because she had a scar on her forehead from the accident she was trying to hide.
Patsy wearing the headband covering the scar from the car wreck.
Willie Nelson wrote this song and sold it for a bag of groceries
to the record company
Wow!! She had a marvelous voice!
Then died in airplane crash. So very sad 😥 always loved her songs
She was a great singer and can cause alot of tear jerking but all the same fantastic,she died in airplane crash March 5, 1963 near Camden Tennessee with pilot Randy Hughes, she was going to Nashville Tennessee, it was a sad day for many RIP.
Sad yes good singer,but he likes to make fun
And Loretta Lynn almost went on that plane with her. That would’ve been a devastating day for a lot of fans.
Listen to her sing Walkin after midnight. Her voice is smooth as silk.
That's a good one too!
Oh yes!!
That's my frickin jam. My grandma loves Patsy Cline
FYI, this song was written by Willie Nelson. Gave him his big break as a songwriter in Nashville.
Paid 25 bucks
Ok fam if you going to tell everyone willie wrote it then tell it right. Willie wrote this on a napkin in 10 minutes..
Willie was a successful songwriter . Things seem strange with 60 years of inflation inbetween .
Willie recieved typical compensation as a staff songwriter , within the prevailing music industry of the day .
He wrote this Hello Walls and another song in a week. All three became major hits for other artists. I can never remember the 3rd one though.
Yes, close your eyes and listen to the purity of her voice. Patsy didn’t need videos or auto tune. What god given talent.
Fuck ANYBODY using auto-tune. "What is auto tune?" -- Aretha Franklin in interview. They explained it, and she just shook her head ..."No."
@@cordellsenior9935
Perfect answer from The Queen of Soul...
Patsy Cline possibly the greatest female country singer ever!
I agree but between ber and Karen Carpenter.
She actually did just that on that song. Walked in and did that song in one take.
The best can do that. The studio (and radio single) recording of "Superstar" by Carpenters was not only Karen's first take, it was the first time she had sung the song, reading the lyrics off a piece of paper...it is no surprise at all that Patsy would have been the same way.
Talent like that doesn’t need to be organized or arranged-it just is-all the time.
It’s also mind blowing that she recorded most of her songs when she was in her 20s because she died at 30.
Really?
Shazeeda Lindemann Yes, her 31st bday would be been later in the year.
Etta James & Patsy Cline...two of the greatest female voices,
My thoughts exactly.
I'd put Connie Francis in that conversation any day.
And Janis Joplin
i can NOT argue with that
They have similar voices, and I always put them together when thinking about voices. If Patsy and Etta had a baby, it would be Adele.
It's a perfect song by Willie Nelson. Perfect. The words and phrasing are perfect. And it is something a lot of us have endured. Didn't we all love somebody who didn't love us back?
Her voice was like crystal. The song was written by a young Willie Nelson.
I never knew that, but now that I know it, I can definitely hear his style in it!
There is a movie about her life. I remember watching it when I was like 12 (back in the late 60's). Excellent movie! That's when I fell in love with her voice.
Didn't Willie write this in mind with Patsey singing it?
@@lowrider4266 It was written for country singer Billie Walker, who turned it down. Later Willie played it to Patsy Cline's husband on a juke box while they were both drunk and the husband then persuaded Patsy to record it.

Steve Tournay Love it Steve! Reminds me of an outstanding phrase from John Legend’s song “All of Me”, which goes, “All your perfect imperfections...”
It was effortless for her.
I love Johnny's voice!
I'm so glad to see you turn on the younger generations onto the real deal.
Rock on dude!
@Kevin L why are you so certain they are not?
This was my moms favorite song. On saturday mornings we would all clean and listen to her music throwback.
I always loved Patsy Cline such a tragic loss. I am 69 and glad to see that younger generations can still appreciate such a wonderful voice. God bless you.

Walking is my favorite. Only the good die young.

When people say white people have no soul, I think of people like her, Janis, Wllie, and the others. People have soul.
Kris Kristofferson.
And don't forget that this song was written by Willie Nelson.
And people that say stuff like that are numb nutted arseholes. Soul comes in all colours ✌️

Listen to Patsy Cline sing “Sweet Dreams” just trust me on this!
One of the best things ever recorded!!
Released after her death...
Emmy Lou Harris does a great rendition of Sweet Dreams, too.
Willie Nelson is the writer of this song. That headband around her forehead was to hide a scar that she received in an automobile accident. She died in a plane crash a couple years after this was recorded unfortunately 😔
Very true.....
sad!
Willy said the original name of this song was stupid, changed it to crazy.
She was great!
She had recently been in a car accident and still had wounds on her forehead, so that's why she wore that headband.
One of the best voices, ever.
Her voice came so amazingly naturally- she never had to force this sound. There isn't a single song of hers that is bad. Your reaction was amazing.
She was something else, lived her life as she wanted. A life cut too short. I loved watching you enjoy.
There are times when the only voice I want to hear is Patsy’s.
Right down at the gut level
Patsy Cline’s voice gives me the music chills, too. Every single time I hear one of her songs.
Written by Willie Nelson, sung to perfection by Patsy Cline
She was one of many best female singers back in the day R.I.P MS. PATSY
The look on your face of pure enjoyment with every smooth note was joy, joy.
She’s a once in a lifetime kind of talent.
No one could cry out a song like the late great Patsey Cline.
Patsy shares her vocal range with the likes of Etta James and Beyonce'. Contralto voices are rare and have almost unlimited range.
Also Ella Fitzgerald and Karen Carpenter. They all have that gorgeous, rich tone.
Patsy performed when any singer had to be a great singer... And she stood head and shoulders above all of them. Patsy was the epitome of what a singer should strive for.
You are so right...you'll never mistake her voice for anyone else's.
Patsy and Loretta, both.
Patsy has that easy flowing effortless recognizable voice. Beautiful!
Her voice makes me cry... still. I’ve been a fan forevee
Right??? I've been listening to her since I was a kid and still get the goosebumps and want to tear up.

No ‘auto tune, back then folks. It was the real deal.

Today's songero can't hold a candle to music then.
Good point
@Bobsyouruncle Wilson he never said anything about today's music. You got yourself all worked up over nothing.
Truth
This was written by Willie Nelson
Sure was. He also does a beautiful version.
I'm 74 and Patsy Cline was a little before my time. I get goosebumps when I hear her, too.
Back when this was done, there was no Auto-Tune. People had to really be able to sing !!
Patsy is one of my all time favorites! My grandparents would slow dance to this song when they thought the grandkids weren’t looking. ❤️

Dusty Springfield: Son of a Preacher man
Yes please, I’ve been asking, for a while now!
Bobby Gentry - Ode to Billie Joe. Super great dark southern gothic vibe.
YES!!!! Though I prefer Dusty's version, I would suggest following with Aretha's, just to hear how a great song can be rearranged and still sound awesome. (Aretha's father was a preacher, and all the sisters usually sang backup on each others' records, so there's that too...)
That’s a classic song by Dusty. Good one!
Dusty is sublime. The Look of Love.
Someone once said the greatest part of her voice was when she sang you can her the cry her voice has. That is why she truly could sing these kinds of lyrics.
If you like this you should play Etta James "At Last", this one gives me the chills, you'll love it.
That one and "Call Momma"
Definitely Saul!
Oh yes. Love that song.
Great song with a great singer. The band nailed it to.
My wedding song.
Check out Etta James singing “At Last”. It is such a great song like this one....
Definitely this!
Oh ,yes... PLEASE. Eartha Kitt, "At Last" will melt your heart. It is "our" song in my household.
Please do this one Jamel!
I just recommend Sunday Kind of Love 😀
@@RobotChampionSC Phoebe Snow At Last. From Rock n Soul Review. Should also check out the original from Glenn Miller, I'll leave the links. I think the Glenn Miller one is on YT, I know the Phoebe Snow cover is. : th-cam.com/video/JgBrmOZCyVg/w-d-xo.html and this one is Glenn Miller starts about 1:10 into the vid: th-cam.com/video/3ueA3BguK9Y/w-d-xo.html
“She’s Got You” is top-tier Patsy.
Yes indeed! Probably my favorite song by Patsy although they are all my favorites when you come right down to it. Take a listen to this fitting tribute to Patsy by Rhiannon Giddens: th-cam.com/video/29aqzu9DBiU/w-d-xo.html. She really did Patsy proud!
Yeah, he needs to do that 1 too!
Yes another good one
That's my favorite from her...🌹🎶🙂
Patsy Cline was one of the greatest female singers of all time. Like Aretha and Mahelia are the most imitated in Soul, Patsy is the most imitated in country even to this day. Her voice is smooth electric.
One of the most pure and flawless voices there ever was.
This is my girl!!! She could SING!!!
No auto tune back then. Like Sam Cooke, The Drifters, Platters, Elvis. Pure pleasure!!
When they say the song is a "standard" musically.......this is not "a" standard, it is "THEE STANDARD".........and so was Patsy........all that followed tried to be worthy.......an endless mountain to climb.....only Patsy was at the top......
I love your comment
THEEEEEE STANDARD!!!
I played this song for my grandma when she was dying. I'd say I got that part right.
You sing and play? Bless your heart. I'm sure grandma loved it! Did she know Patsey?
Sorry for your loss. I'm sure you made your grandmother happy at the end. God bless you
Please do "She`s Got You" Patsy has one of the most beautiful voices ever recorded!
She was a great who died far too soon. For another great singer along about the same time period try Jim Reeves "He'll Have to Go". An all time classic.
My mother had every single Jim Reeves album.
love Jim reeves voice.
Do you know there were a couple songs where RCA (Reeves' label) and MCA (Patsy's label Decca became MCA property) jointly produced two duets of Jim and Patsy from master tapes...?
@@djhrecordhound4391 yes, I do. Chet Atkins had a hand in that duet, even though Jim and Patsy never actually recorded together.
Jim Reeves has been dead for 60 years, and he is still as popular in my country as he ever was back in the day.
Every thing she sang was just as good as this. Pure talent.
She’s wearing the head scarf because she’d just been in a car accident
Check out Walking After Midnight
Willie Nelson wrote this beautiful song
I didn't know that...had seen this clip many times and just thought she was rockin' that headband. Thanks for the info!
Willie did not write Walking After Midnight, Think it was Alan Block and Don Hect, if memory serves.
And you can't tell in that black & white video, but she had a real shiner of a black eye from the car accident too. :(
@@suzannemiller3980 he was saying Willie wrote Crazy
Patsy could SANG!
I’ve always thought she had one of the purest voices I have ever heard.
I grew up about 50 miles from where Patsy was from. There are no words to describe her awesome voice. One of the greatest of all time.
Patsy was and still is, the best, female singer ever. So tragic that she left us too soon.
No, but she is a great singer!
Yes it is sad!
Great but not the best ever
Only the good die young😢❤
She's awesome! Great comment
Jamal, you have to listen to "Sweet Dreams" by Patsy, her range is amazing.
If you liked "Crazy", listen to Patsy Cline sing "Walkin after Midnight"
I grew up on Patsy Cline, but didn't appreciate her until I was grown. All these years later I still cry when I hear Patsy sing. Her voice is so beautiful and most of her songs really hit me with all the feelings. Thanks for the video.
If you want a real tear jerker try George Jones-He stopped Loving Her Today.
My personal favorite by George .
Or "The Grand Tour".
Truth. My mother used to play George Jones he stopped loving her today when my step dad passed. I can’t even listen to it to this day
I believe Willie Nelson wrote this song. Patsy is the only country I like. Well Hank jr!! Too
I like what you said about her voice. It’s true. Back then there was no digitally augmented voices that make people who really can’t sing stars. She passed away so tragically too.
Sadly, her career was cut short early when she died in a plane crash. She was one treasure that was surely missed.
she is still missed
Patsy...another great talent taken way too soon. Her voice had a tear in it. She was very close friends with a young Loretta Lynn - a mentor and more.
I'm surprised more people don't mention She's Got You when they talk about her songs
I've got your picture, she's got you! Oh yeah. Thing is she did no bad songs. Every one a masterpiece
My favorite by her.
My favorite as a kid--even then that song made me bawl ilke as baby.
My favorite!
My favorite patsy song!!!!
“He’ll Have to Go” by Jim Reeves will give you the same chills. Guaranteed.
melvin moten Jim Reeves also died in a plane crash two years later he was the pilot and in bad weather was intoxicated
An album came out in the early 80s of Jim Reeves WITH Patsy Cline. By then tape engineers were really good, so I'm not sure if they actually recorded together or if it was matched together(?)...
Gentleman Jim. Man, what a singer.
Try Dusty Springfield a British woman most famous in the 1960s "Son of A Preacher Man".
Mike McManus or LuLu's To Sir With Love....that one always gave me chills as well.
It was only a few years ago that I realized Dusty Springfield isn't black. She has such a soulful voice.
I love dusty I am a dude and I'd often cover son of a preacher man and I didn't change the pronouns. It went over well. I happen to be straight but I'm comfortable
My favorite of hers was "What are you doing the rest of your life." The sax is also cool in that.
Good shout...sublime voice.
To me, this is one of the greatest recordings of all time. Great song by Willie Nelson, incredible performance by Patsy, great gtr by Hank Garland, great piano by Floyd Cramer, and great production by Harold Bradley.
