Haunting is the word I've always used to describe her vocals. I grew up listening to Patsy Cine songs - she was my grandparents' favorite singer. My favorite song of hers is Faded Love - it showcases her storytelling ability and the breath she takes at the end of it is just the finishing touch on an exquisite performance.
@@dillonthompson5776 I agree, what does that even mean? I thought she was an icon of her time like Aretha for her time and Whitney for her time. Haunting? I don't see it, emotional for someone else's pain yes!
@@mechamobu777 Joni Mitchell a famous singer once said of today's music, they don't care if you can sing, as long as you look good, autotune will take care of the rest
Every time I hear crazy,I cry as I sing it,my husband always said it was our song and he would sing it as we slow danced I loved being in his arms dancing but I was the one crazy for he is the one that left me for jack and bud he's passed awaynow,leaving me broken hearted and truth be told as much as I hurt I would still love to have his arms around me And dancing to Patsy. I've been without that feeling of feeling loved and cherished for 15years now,I think when you fall in Crazy Love it's hard to come back from that maybe we will dance to crazy once again in heaven! I cry for being such a Fool to think I'd matter more than a shot and a bottle of beer!!
Well no, not all... George Jones lived to be a fair age, Merle Haggard, Kitty Wells, etc... Willie Nelson still lives... But I know what you mean... Patsy, Buddy Holly, Jim Reeves all passed away way to soon in tragedy...
That always bothered me in the movie Sweet Dreams. Her plane did not hit a mountain. She was killed about 40 min from where I live. There are no mountains in West TN.
Back when this song came out and Patsy Cline was making a name for herself so was one of her best friends Loretta Lynn and who knows what she would have done if she hadn't died so young in a plane crash RIP Patsy
Another of my favorite songs by her 🖤 I hope Walking After Midnight is next!! Edit: Forgot you did that one already lol I Fall to Pieces and She’s Got You Are also wonderful.
Having never been a fan of country, I hang on every word of her songs. Have also made many of my friends fans of hers as well. She had that certain something.

You will notice that up until the late 60's, songs over 3 minutes long were non-existent. This is because of the technology. A 78 RPM record at 10" diameter could record 3 minutes of music while a 12" could record 4 minutes. When these were replaced by 45's the 3 minute limit was maintained because all songs had been written to fit the previous technology. So, while the tech could hold more per inch, the size of the record was reduced instead of adding more music. The cheaper material (vinyl instead of shellac) made records more affordable for a younger audience and increased quality - but it wouldn't be until the LP at 33 RPM was introduced. Once the LP was around song lengths began to vary with famous examples being "Alice's Restaurant" (18+ min.) by Arlo Guthrie and "Thick as a Brick" (about 45 min. in full) by Jethro Tull. I love history. One can study everything in history.
From my understanding Columbia records Lp was first then RCA records made the 45 when Columbia showed them the new record they made. Kind of like out of spite 🤔
While your technology points were spot on, that was NOT why the limit was maintained when 45s became readily available. Radio stations at that time refused to play any songs over three minutes long so that they could cram as many songs played into an hour as possible and therefore make as much money as they could off the playing of the songs.
@@larrywt656 That had influence, though the real issue for radio wasn't the length of the songs per se, as much as it was the best way to cut in commercials and required plays of PSAs. Having done a couple years work as a promotions director in college, l am no stranger to arguing with DJs that they are going to fit into the rotation the federally required PSA's (and occasional commercial).
She's got that reverb quality to her voice coupled with the old fashioned style makes it feel like the past has returned for a moment, so haunting feels about right when talking about her singing a song that's saturated in melancholy wistfulness.
The number one jukebox-played song of all time! And there will never been another voice like hers...absolute effortless silk, drenched in melted butter!
She had a hard time recording any song - she took the lyrics so personally that more often than not she ended up in tears before the end of the recording. She is a singer before my time, thankfully a favorite of my mother's so I grew up listening to all of her music. BTW - you are the only " reaction" person I subscribe to.
That was LIVE! Before all the fancy equipment that make things sound better were developed. She sounded THAT GOOD live! No one can deny that Patsy Cline was gifted with an AMAZING voice. Love it!
One of my dad's favorite artists. I Fall to Pieces was his fave by her. After hearing her sing Crazy, Willie Nelson said it was, and would always be, more hers than his.
Sweet Dreams next please the apex song in her catalog. other good songs She's got you, I fall to pieces, Back in Baby's arms, Strange, Your cheatin' heart, So Wrong, & Why Can't He Be You.
When a song internally belongs to one voice and no one else can imitate or improve on it! So pleasing and relaxing to listen to. Amazing beautiful voice.
My dad was the same way. He mourned her death. My mom made sure Patsy's music played during his viewings in 1969. She figured dad would hear his 'gals' music, where he was. I still hear him humming this song, in my heart.
There are artists that transcend their particular genre where the artistic ability is of a craft of a higher order. Listen closely and there are often dynamics within a single vowel, and there for a reason. She also held or cut off a note in perfect time for perfect expression. Patsy Cline was a genius.
Her version of "You Belong to Me" is amazing. It might be a little longer too. I had never heard this version of "Crazy" until now. Voice gave me chills.
I 💜 this song. Patsy sang this amazingly, she had such a beautiful voice. I also enjoy Jessie Reyez's cover of this as well..... I just 💜 this song period, lol. As always, TY 🙏 4 the reaction... It's much appreciated 💯!
Patsy Cline is a legend. So sad we lost her. My parents listened to her all the time. I still love her beautiful voice. Think she was one of my mentors. Thank you for doing this. She opened country music up for women.
I was a Patsy Cline impersonator for 20 years. My biggest compliment was being told my audience thought they were seeing and hearing Patsy live. She was the best!
It can feel crazy to love someone when you know it is going to lead to nothing but heartache and disaster. I have loved women who I just knew were never going to work out.
Patsy had the kind of voice that almost didn't need music besides her beautiful vocals...I've listened to her all my life even though I don't necessarily listen to Country music. Her music is so special to me, a!most like an Angel singing...
Home Free just released their cover of this song. They did a very good job with it. Check out Voiceplay's cover of Oogie Boogie's Song. Also their bass Geoff Castellucci has made some really good solos including Sixteen Tons, Blackbird and Headless Horseman. ..
Patsy Cline was killed in a plane crash at 29. She started giving her things away a year earlier because she told people she would not live much longer. She was my Mother’s era but I listen to her music most days.
Patsy is still the best solo female singer ever. 59 years after her tragic death she still sells millions of records. Influenced more singers than anyone else. Opened the door for so many that followed her showing that girl singers could be Headliners and stars in their own right. The first solo female singer inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
"I Fall to Pieces" is another of her classics.
My fav song by Patsy. "I Fall to Pieces"
Yes, I Fall to Pieces!!!
Yes that's my favorite by her
Awesome all her songs
Walking after midnight is also great . Love Patsy Cline .
Keep in mind she was singing live. No backing track, no auto-tune. Just pure talent!
Amazing. Most singers now couldn’t pass that test.
Instant goosebumps as soon as Patsy sings, every time.
Me, too!
Love Patsy
ME TOO 😁😄
Goosebumps and tears for She's Got You. It's like a "strange" uncontrollable reaction.
Me too. That's how I judge singers. No goose bumps, no listen.
The fact that Ms Cline did it live adds to the organic quality in her voice.
Patsy had the prettiest female voice of Country singers all time .
A classic voice
I was taught when I heard her voice for the first time when you refer to Patsy Cline it's Miss Patsy Cline thanks for getting it right

Ahhh When singers were actual singers. Talent beyond measure
Truth
I have talent

Her voice was a gift from God to all of humanity. If I listen to two or three of her songs, I'm in tears.
Hello mark Boyd all boyd's are loving her voice I grow up listening to her music lot's off love from Northern Ireland xxx

I love Patsy Cline. So tragic that she died so young.
I mean didn’t all the greats?

That always bothered me in the movie Sweet Dreams. Her plane did not hit a mountain. She was killed about 40 min from where I live. There are no mountains in West TN.
Her voice never goes out of style. Top quality American music.
Always loved her voice. She is still a most realistic and heartfelt singer.
Patsy Cline is a legend! She had the kind of voice you never forget, one of a kind. Thank You!!
Back when this song came out and Patsy Cline was making a name for herself so was one of her best friends Loretta Lynn and who knows what she would have done if she hadn't died so young in a plane crash RIP Patsy
Patsy & Loretta are my favorite singers
RIP Patsy - your music lives on & is loved today!!!
This song has stood the test of time. So beautiful.
This is probably her most popular song and one of the reasons she is still considered the best female country singer, even today!
"Sweet Dreams" shows off her vocal abilities best in my opinion. And I like "She's Got You" as well. My 2 favorite Patsy Cline songs ❤
One of her most beautiful songs ever!! 💝💝💝
Sweet Dreams shows off the range she had.
"Sweet Dreams" IS the BEST of all her beautiful songs!
@@gwenmargarettowne4687 👍agreed!
Whoever thumbs down this song this lady you don't know good music and a raw unfiltered voice she is one of the best ever
Dude the combination of Patsy Cline and Willie Nelson is definitely an everlasting winner for sure ❤️
Let's not leave Owen Bradley out of the equation... He had to convince her to record this and put her on the Ballad path ...
I have always loved Patsy Cline!!!! Awesome voice!!!
I'm so impressed that people listen now to what was and find the beauty in it.
One piano one voice no auto tune no effects. Just pure talent
Hey.
You calling her voice haunting is so appropriate. Because it certainly was. She gave people chills. She was one of the best.
Another of my favorite songs by her 🖤
I hope Walking After Midnight is next!!
Edit: Forgot you did that one already lol
I Fall to Pieces and She’s Got You Are also wonderful.
Pretty sure he did that one already
@@CR-kr9cs He did lol
Having never been a fan of country, I hang on every word of her songs. Have also made many of my friends fans of hers as well. She had that certain something.
Possibly the greatest female voice in Country Music ever!!
Absolutely!!!
The best.
Willie Nelson wrote this song, "Hello Walls", and "Funny how time slips away" all on a one week trip to Denver.
Sung by Faron Young , sooo smooth of a voice
If Willie had never written another song- "Crazy" and "Hello Walls" would have made him rich.
He also wrote My Funny Valentine sung by Frank Sinatra.
@@glorianeiman726 - Sorry Gloria but you aren't even close. "My Funny Valentine"
was written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart for the musical "Babes in
Toyland"
Key word = "trip" when speaking of Willie.
She is one of the few, that everything and anything she sang, is pure gold, PURE GOLD.

Isn't she great, I get chills
The one word that comes to the front when describing her singing is, Control.
She puts her voice exactly where she wants it.
When a singer gets everything right, I get gooseflesh all over my person. Patsy Cline gives me gooseflesh every dag-nabbed time!
She's got that reverb quality to her voice coupled with the old fashioned style makes it feel like the past has returned for a moment, so haunting feels about right when talking about her singing a song that's saturated in melancholy wistfulness.
Add onto the fact she died so young (she was only 30) and only 2 years after this song released.
Patsy Cline had such an effortless perfection as she sang.
She's Got You is one of my favorite songs of hers
Mine too!
My #1 by her.
The number one jukebox-played song of all time! And there will never been another voice like hers...absolute effortless silk, drenched in melted butter!

One of my all time favorite songs. Absolutely perfect for a rainy, reflective day. Haunting is absolutely a spot on way to describe her vocals.
I just found this channel and I appreciate that you're exploring music you never heard. This is great 👍
Wait until you! hear her singing Walkin' After Midnight!
Simply one of the greatest singers of all time, gone WAY too soon. And yes, this was one of the songs that put Willie on the map.
Absolutely love Patsy Cline! I'd forgotten about her until now. Thank you! *runs off to add her to a Google play list*
"She's got you" the best Patsy song.
That was LIVE! Before all the fancy equipment that make things sound better were developed. She sounded THAT GOOD live! No one can deny that Patsy Cline was gifted with an AMAZING voice. Love it!
"Sweet Dreams" is most the haunting song I have ever heard
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ My how time fly's... I was all of 9 years old (1961) when Patsy first sang this! I loved it then and love it even more now.
I love the 50's, Pacific, radio feel to this classic.
I LOVE Patsy so much. You need to see her perform. RIP PATSY
One of my dad's favorite artists. I Fall to Pieces was his fave by her. After hearing her sing Crazy, Willie Nelson said it was, and would always be, more hers than his.
This is the music my parents listened to, good old country. She and Hank Williams Sr are the only ones that stuck with me.
Sweet Dreams next please the apex song in her catalog. other good songs She's got you, I fall to pieces, Back in Baby's arms, Strange, Your cheatin' heart, So Wrong, & Why Can't He Be You.
When a song internally belongs to one voice and no one else can imitate or improve on it! So pleasing and relaxing to listen to. Amazing beautiful voice.
My father was a man that never cried. However, he would whenever he talked about hear early death and what could have been.
My dad was the same way. He mourned her death. My mom made sure Patsy's music played during his viewings in 1969. She figured dad would hear his 'gals' music, where he was. I still hear him humming this song, in my heart.
Love your sensitivity to beautiful sound and melody. She's a legend - period. 🙏💕 Human instrument.
If you knew about Patsy's life, her song makes more sense. She was telling her truth.
Yes! My moms favorite singer I grew up listening to all her music! So amazing! Thanks for the memories!
Country music when I was growing up was Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash &. others of their caliber. You had a voice.

Patsy Cline was amazing! The great writing credit goes to the ultimate Willie Nelson
Wasn’t she 👍 great my mother’s favorite singer I grew up listening to her records RIP Mom❤️
Her voice is definitely haunting, I always felt sorrow from her too
Patsy Cline is a legend. So sad we lost her. My parents listened to her all the time. I still love her beautiful voice. Think she was one of my mentors. Thank you for doing this. She opened country music up for women.
This is why I go to every Willy Nelson concert. It’s the only good thing in Texas. Willy. Love you.
Seriously? Do you realize how many greats are from Texas? Strait, Jones, Waylon, just to start?
I LOVE the little smile her delivery put on your face.
Every Patsy song is a good one because her voice is so incredible! Recommend Sweet Dreams for a real taste
Love the cry in her voice, gives dimension to the words.
Her husky voice that could go high in a flash was incredible. This song was written by Willie Nelson, by the way.
No shit, I didn't know that😊
Actually he does mention it, plus it’s a well known fact anyway.

Patsy Cline - Walking After Midnight
Willie Nelson wrote this, I suggest doing his version too!
Sad she was lost so young. Amazing singer I've emulated all my life.
It can feel crazy to love someone when you know it is going to lead to nothing but heartache and disaster. I have loved women who I just knew were never going to work out.
Crazy was written by Willie Nelson.
This man has got to hear Leann Rhimes! Without a doubt, he'd love her voice and skills.
It would probably blow his mind to know Leann Rimes' "Blue" was recorded when she was 13.
There is so much to this woman's story then just her voice...as stunning as that voice was.
Another day exploring the Capital Wasteland for Nuka Cola caps!! Watch out for Mutants! Love the channel
I was just thinking this sounded like something from Fallout.
Hello Mr L Boyd loving your name , pasty Cline grow up listening to her what a voice she had ,lot's off love from Northern Ireland xxx
Pull up the whole album by Willie “And Then I Wrote”. He was clean cut back then. Funny How Time Slips Away is my personal favorite.
"Funny How Time Slips Away" was a Pop hit for Jimmy Elledge in 1961 #22 and for
Joe Hinton in 1964 #14. You can hear them both here on UA-cam.
Patsy had the kind of voice that almost didn't need music besides her beautiful vocals...I've listened to her all my life even though I don't necessarily listen to Country music. Her music is so special to me, a!most like an Angel singing...
Do Willie Nelson’s version. You’re gonna love it to!
This song makes me cry. My Grandma sounded just like Patsy Cline. We always sang this together

Real talent along with good management and hard work. People will still be listening to her 50 more years from now.
Only singer to match Patsy singing "CRAZY" was Angelina Jordan at age 12. Leann Rimes would be a distant second place
K.D. Lang can hang tight with it !
Love you LL Boyd! Love that you love so much of glorious music over the years!
The beautiful Patsy Cline…love her! So much goodness here..
My grandfather's favorite recording artist, for obvious reasons. There has never been another voice like Ms. Patsy.
Patsy Cline is my favorite! I listen to her all the time! Beautiful voice!!
I always heard that she had perfect pitch….. Really beautiful, once in a lifetime voice.🐝🤗❤️
