A legend who passed away in 1963 at 30 years old. Song was written by Willie Nelson, who commonly wrote songs for others before & after his singing career took off.
Patsy Cline has one of the best country voices around. She had so many great hits such as "She's Got You", "Sweet Dreams", "When I Get Through With You", "So Wrong", "Leavin' On Your Mind", "Walkin' After Midnight", "I Fall To Pieces" "San Antonio Rose", "Blue Moon Of Kentucky", "Half As Much", "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 an awesome version of "Crazy".
Patsy was one the original queens of country music. She broke records and rules for what women were supposed to be and do in that time period. She was the first female Country artist to headline in Vegas and the first solo artist every inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. She in a plane crash at just 30 years old.
Willie Nelson’s album “and then I wrote” is my favorite vinyl I’ve ever bought. Incredible album of the time. “Hello walls” “funny how times slips away” “one step beyond” “undo the right”. Long before his outlaw debut with his greatest album “red headed stranger”
The Jordanaires had already laid down the background vocals. Patsy recorded the vocal track in one take! No auto tune. She was amazing. Also, some amazing musicians on this recording.
This was on Hugh Hefner's TV show " Playboy at Night " which was a sort of half variety show ,half party at the Chicago Playboy mansion ( before he moved to California )
Have you heard Sister Rosetta Tharpe, she was a brilliant electric guitarist, looked like a respectable Church lady but could play like a devil She performed in 1964 in Manchester and there is video of it "Sister Rosetta Tharpe - Didn't It Rain-Live In Manchester, England 1964" on the channel @bizimis I think you might enjoy it
She was Loretta Lynn’s best friend and she died a horrible death. It’s said she hated this song at first but she changed the tempo from the way Willie wrote it and then she would sing it.
Just a thought: I remember going to see the play "Beautiful Thing" in the West End and the one of the characters in 1993 when the play is set is obsessed with Mamma Cass and her songs are used throught the play and I seriously went out and bought some Cass Eliot and still have it on my playlist.
I know you're pretty well versed in music so here's a few that I'm not sure you'd have heard of: Triumph: Lay It On The Line April Wine: Roller Shooting Star: Hollywood And something I don't recall you reacting to on Office Blokes: Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa I'd Rather Go Blind And another fairly recent one with Joe: Jimmy Barnes Stone Cold.
A beautiful lady with such a classy voice, unfortunately in her personal life she had two difficult marriages, abuse and womanising to deal with. Her untimely death at age 30 from a plane crash, leaving two young children, was heartbreaking.
It's great when people who write much better than they sing (in this case Willie Nelson) give their tunes to others. Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen do that, but not as often as they should.
This cannot be overstated enough: Her voice is 100% real. Autotune's development- and other such voice-enhancement electronics - was still several decades away.
I think it was more simple and straightforward back. Then they didn’t have the ability to mess around with the audio and change things up. It was just a simple and straightforward
Man I'm around your age and I worry about how "unclassy" my generation will look when we're old as well. I'm starting to clean up my act now. Haha. I mean we gotta do our own thing and make our own mark but we need to have our dignity as well. The older I get, the less of a bum I want to resemble and act. Back in the day our surname was everything, then all of a sudden we just stopped caring..and that's kind of offensive to our ancestors that got us here, if that makes sense.

It was once said that this was the most played song in bars all around the world. Don’t know how they would know that but, it sounds true

Beautiful song sung amazingly by Patsy, written by Willie Nelson.
Patsy Cline has a golden voice. She can sing anything and it would sound heavenly.
Beautiful and those backing vocals are so awesome. Patsy had that voice that males you sit up and pay attention. Nobody does heartache like Patsy!

She sang this on one take. Amazing.
...no autotune back then. The Righteous Brothers were ridiculously talented as well.

you should try Etta James At Last.
That’s a good one!

Willie Nelson wrote this song. His version is pretty good too.
You should come to America. We have air conditioning. :-)
It sounded like the weather here in Florida, but we have air conditioning.
