Patsy Cline defined modern country music by using her singular talent and heart‐wrenching emotional depth to break down barriers of gender, class and genre. In her music and her life, Patsy set a standard of authenticity that artists still strive toward. After years of hard work to overcome industry gender biases and her own personal hardships and professional missteps, she achieved success, only to have it punctured by uncanny premonitions and her untimely death at age 30.
Crazy !!
ReplyDeleteWalking After Midnight - one of my top favorites
ReplyDeleteI moved to the Shenandoah Vally in 72. About seventy miles south of Winchester. One would have thought she was still alive. Every jukebox had Patsy and her songs played frequently.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite female singer.
ReplyDeleteHer and Loretta Lynn was my dad's, so I grew up with them. I still play Patsy's music in the truck. Especially Sweet Dreams..... Man, I love that song.
