Now years later you can hear Willie's unique phrasing, even in her recording. I think that part of the wonder of this song. If she sang it straight I'm not sure it would have had the same impact and longevity.
Willie also wrote "Ain't It Funny?" and "Night Life" in the same week that he wrote this one. That's a career for most songwriters, just another week for Willie
The headband is covering a significant scar from a car crash that put her in the hospital for a month. She died at age 30 in a 1963 plane crash. "Walking After Midnight", "I Fall to Pieces" and Loretta Lynn, "You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man"
@@eriklarson9137 I think you misunderstood that comment. Punctuation would have made it more understandable. But what is your point about age? If you are still young, your time will come, God willing.
Patsy Cline knew singing. No choreographed dancers. No moving lights. No fire. No smoke. She just sang. And there have been few since who could solicit the moods that she did. We need to get back to beautiful, raw talent.
Yeah, in my lifetime Patsy Cline was #1, with Linda Rondstat and Karen Carpenter, then... who? Carpenter has been forgotten, but anyone listening to her for first time would have to agree with me. One of a kind. You could understand her words but you could FEEL sorrow under her voice's power to make you forget what you're doing. Even the harder music fans recognized her for the sheer beauty of her voice. She died very young. One of the most prominent women to die from anorexia, Karen became the death that uncovered the health crisis MANY younger girls and women had been dealing with silently. Her death threw light on a hidden dilemma and helped expose dangers of losing too much weight...
@ Karen Carpenter sang more "girlie" type songs about love, of course and her brother accompanying her on piano wasn't the sexiest combo. Her voice, though was so clear yet had the kind of emotional depth that required separating her voice from her songs to really appreciate it. She didn't have a Janis Joplin, or Ronstadt powerful range, but was more tender and soft. I didn't care much about the duo but I still consider her to be one of the forgotten women of pop music.
You got it exactly: she was a mesmerizing siren. Willie Nelson originally titled this song "Stupid". She made him change the title before she would record it for him. She was one of the first female singers to totally run her own show.
Walking After Midnight, I Fall to Pieces, She's Got You, Sweet Dreams, Leavin' On Your Mind - Patsy Cline was the GOAT! Shortly before releasing Crazy, she'd been in a terrible car accident, and the unusual headband here was partly intended to hide the scar. She's another one gone too soon - died in an airplane crash in 1963 at the age of 30.
I had just gotten out of the Navy in 1963 when Patsy Cline died in the plane crash. Everywhere I went I remember hearing her songs playing on the jukeboxes. I'll be 83 in April and I've loved her music from the first time I heard one of her songs in 1963.
I've been a metal/hard rock guy since the early '70's, but I'm pretty sure that I've never passed up a chance to hear Patsy Cline. I'm happy Lilly Jane gets to hear her too.
You might enjoy k. d. lang. She has a marvelous voice and sings great songs - including a cover of this one. She named her band the Reclines in honor of Patsy.
Patsy Cline is one of the greats when it comes to women singers of any genre of music. Thank you for checking her out. "Sweet Dreams" is her best song. It truly shows her incredible vocal range.
Correction; THE greatest. I figured this out when I heard one of the best singers of my lifetime (Linda Ronstadt) attempt to cover one of her songs.....even Linda couldn't pull it off.
My mother passed away from liver failure in September and was a huge fan of Anne Murray, her favorite song was Snow Bird. I would love to see you do a reaction to this song. She was the one that got me at a young age to fall in love with the song
I’ve got a head full of feeling higher and an ear full of Patsy Cline. There’s no one who can touch her. I hang on every line. “I miss you so badly” by Jimmy Buffet. Jimmy, Patsy, I miss you both so badly.
My personal favorite is "Sweet Dreams", but every song she did showed one of the very best voices EVER ! And then there is the cover tribute of this song by Home Free.
Good afternoon ma'am I hope you're well. You should check out LeAnn Rimes. The song BLUE. It was originally written for Patsy Cline. Many years later it was recorded by Leanne and I think you will hear the similarities in their voice. LeAnn Rimes also did a tribute song to Patsy Cline that is the next level. I love your channel. ❤ By the way when LeAnn Rimes recorded blue she was only 13 or 14 years old. ❤
They promoted "Blue" as though it had been written for Patsy Cline, but that wasn't really the case. Bill Mack wrote and recorded the song himself first in 1958. He also stated that he never wrote any song with a particular singer in mind. His record had regional success, but never got nationwide airplay. Later Roy Drusky suggested he pitch it to Patsy Cline, so he did that by way of her husband/manager Charlie Dick. Patsy was supposed to hear the song the next time she went to the studio to record so she could decide to record it or not, but was killed in the famous plane crash before ever hearing it in 1963. It was recorded by a few people in between, including Kenny Roberts in 1966, who added a yodel to it, and Polly Stephens Exley some time in the late 1980s, who added a verse which she wrote the lyrics for. Finally LeAnn Rimes had a hit with it including the added lyrics by Exley in 1996.
@CFWhitman WOW! I always heard it was written for Patsy and that she just never got a chance to do it and he held on to it forever until Leanne came. Thank you for telling me the real story. Hope you have a great weekend.
She is a siren and that’s for sure Her voice is mythical mesmerizing and magical I remember the 1st time I heard Patsy I was on a long drive for my work and with a coworker I didn’t bring any tapes to play in the rental vehicle tape deck but my coworker did He had a Pasty Cline tape but I was not pleased about it I didn’t like country and I was sure Patsy was country tho I had never listened to her Well after listening to the tape first time I was dazed and quite happy that I had been fortunate enough to have lived long enough to have heard this amazing woman I cried I was so overwhelmed by her She was her own genre and I stupidly had ignored her because she was a country star She called to my soul and I heard her loud and clear
I heard someone say one time that she has a TEAR in her voice and it’s absolutely true I loved her voice and it was such a tragedy when the world lost her in the plane crash that took her life!
You should see "LeAnn Rimes - Blue (Official Music Video)" When she released this song, in 1996, they said she would be the next Patsy Cline. Watch her video and just think about the fact that she was 14 years old, when she made it. And she hasn't slowed down since.
I think it was actually written FOR Patsy Cline but she passed before the writer could show her the song and he waited until the right voice would come along which he felt was Rimes.
Sometime in the summer of 1962 my parents to an old church in Nashville, Tennessee. We sat close to the stage in old church pews in a building with dirt floors. After a couple of bands did their act A lady came out on stage As she began to sing she looked down straight into my eyes. I thought I had met an Angel. Patsy Cline certainly sang like one.
I'm a big fan of Patsy having grown up in that era. More recently there is a young singer , Angelina Jordan, who obviously admires Patsy, and has covered this song extremely well. She does it justice. You might enjoy it. She is a very serious singer who communicates emotion painfully well.
At age 13, Cline was hospitalized with a throat infection and rheumatic fever. Speaking of the incident in 1957 she said, "I developed a terrible throat infection and my heart even stopped beating. The doctor put me in an oxygen tent. You might say it was my return to the living after several days that launched me as a singer. The fever affected my throat and when I recovered I had this booming voice like Kate Smith's."
I was stationed at Grand Forks Air Force Base '61-'65 and my roommate was from Tacoma, WA. He had a killer stereo and a bunch of country music 78rpms. I almost wore out her albums and became a fan of Patsy Cline. Ironic that I now live 25 miles from Tacoma but never found my best man Ron.
I see you like music that makes you feel. My bro played me a song, rare and hard to find, that will do just that. I beg you to react to a little known 70's singer David Geddes. The song id "Blind Man in the Bleachers". Very powerfully emotional. Please react to it. :)
I was fortunate enough to see Patsy in concert in Spokane Washington as a child. Her voice to this day is truly unmatched! When she sings it goes right to the soul!
Images of slow dancing on a nearly empty dance floor in a smoky bar 15 minutes from closing time and time is just suspended. The dance should never end.
Great reaction.You said you dont know what it is about her voice. Patsy had a very controlled contralto lower register with enunciation and emphasis on certian vowels/words in her songs. Karen Carpenter also shared this unique voice in her own style. Both voices are instantly recognized in only a couple notes. Both died early. Both have the best female voice of all time (I favor Karen).
When my daughter was a teenager I'd hear Patsy Cline singing "Crazy" through her closed bedroom door. It was usually after her & her boyfriend had an argument.
Wouldn't it be great to take Lilly Jane to a concert on a date... One of those outdoor concerts where you find a place to sit in the grass, surrounded by people
Welcome to the incomparable Patsy Cline! I grew up on this music. Hadn't heard this song in an eon and the one day played it. Must have been the mood I was in that day, but I was instant waterworks! She was truly one of a kind. The clarity, timbre, and power of that voice is instantly recognizable. You might be interested in reacting to the Home Free cover of this song. They did it in a retro style, and Austin Brown, singing lead on this one, sang it in the same key. Very hard for a male singer! They did it justice... it's almost as good as the original.
Not many artists could sing live exactly the same as they recorded the song. It was said that Ms. Cline had a severe cold when she recorded this. "Crazy" was one of Willie's best.
Great reaction! Patsy was the queen of country music when she died tragically in a plane crash at age 30 in 1963. The next Queen of country in the 60s and 70s was Loretta Lynn. Her classic is Coal Miners Daughter but another great was You Ain’t Woman Enough to Take My Man. From the 70s on many greats but stand out of course is Dolly Parton. Jolene is a great tune of hers and many younger people don’t realize she wrote and first performed I will Always Live You made mega famous by Whitney Houston many years later. But above all of those is my choice for greatest female vocalist of my lifetime Linda Ronstadt. She sang Rock she sang Country helped invent Country Rock, she sang The Great American Song Book with full orchestra she sang Opera and in Spanish has the best selling non English language album in the history of the charts. And in her Spare time helped some of her backing musicians form there own band called The Eagles. You couldn’t pick a bad song in any Genre and I’d have to list 100 if I got started but please please react to some Linda Ronstadt!
I listen to Patsy all the time and have for years. I can listen to Crazy , over and over . Love watching your videos and others who are discovering our older music. Thanx!
Willie Nelson wrote it, Patsy made it her own.....classic and beautiful
At first he was going to call it "Stupid", somehow don't think it would have had the same effect.
Now years later you can hear Willie's unique phrasing, even in her recording. I think that part of the wonder of this song. If she sang it straight I'm not sure it would have had the same impact and longevity.
Willie also wrote "Ain't It Funny?" and "Night Life" in the same week that he wrote this one. That's a career for most songwriters, just another week for Willie
@@vickit.1797 good, remember that
Sold it to her for a flat fee of $50, but the doors it opened for him were priceless……..👍👍👍👍
The headband is covering a significant scar from a car crash that put her in the hospital for a month. She died at age 30 in a 1963 plane crash. "Walking After Midnight", "I Fall to Pieces" and Loretta Lynn, "You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man"
Great choices 👌
She also had a broken rib and she still sang this song.
I did not know that. About the headband. ❤️✌️
I love learning stuff here. I feel it was time well spent. ❤️✌️😆
@@wlfwlker3704 what does that mean?
I always loved "Sweet Dreams" by Patsy.
Patsy Cline...incomparable. To say she was one of a kind is an understatement. Beautiful.
Her voice is pure, clean, faultless and beautiful.
Also Timeless.
I wouldn't say so. She has a "catch" in there, which makes her voice stand out from others.
I think GOD made Patsy and then made Roy Orbison as a male backup, then destroyed the mold.
And that folks is how it's done no autotune no vulgarity no screaming guitars just good Ole pure talent
Screaming guitar. Lol. That doesn't take talent. Amazing that you connect shredding guitar with autotune. Way to state your age without stating it.
Pure Talent.
@@eriklarson9137 I think you misunderstood that comment. Punctuation would have made it more understandable. But what is your point about age? If you are still young, your time will come, God willing.
Best voice Country ever had!
She's Simply the Best!!!
Btw that piano player is the legendary
Floyd Cramer
Best female country voice ever.❤
not just COUNTRY. Patsy is better than country she could sing anything. NOT just country

@ Karen Carpenter sang more "girlie" type songs about love, of course and her brother accompanying her on piano wasn't the sexiest combo.

She has a sharp, crisp and soulful voice that just pulls you into the emotions of the song.

Great singers should never get on airplanes!
Lucky lady hearing that angel for the first time. Had me in a trance ever since. Nothing compares.
Nobody. She sets the bar, as Elvis does for male vocalist. I truly don't think that either have been surpassed yet.
It's not just the voice. Her timing is impeccable
I never listen to "Country", but I do remember loving this song. .. goosebumps galore( I'm 70, and an Aussie).
No auto -tune, no overdubs. Pure musicianship.
I had just gotten out of the Navy in 1963 when Patsy Cline died in the plane crash. Everywhere I went I remember hearing her songs playing on the jukeboxes. I'll be 83 in April and I've loved her music from the first time I heard one of her songs in 1963.

You might enjoy k. d. lang. She has a marvelous voice and sings great songs - including a cover of this one. She named her band the Reclines in honor of Patsy.
Patsy Cline was a contralto mezzo-soprano. A true contralto is considered the rarest female voice type. That's why Patsy sounded so unique.
Miss Patsy was peerless. Still is.
Indeed, Patsy like the tuxedo cowboy, Mr. Arnold had class and elevated country music. She’ll never be replaced.
Patsy Cline is one of the greats when it comes to women singers of any genre of music. Thank you for checking her out. "Sweet Dreams" is her best song. It truly shows her incredible vocal range.
An amazing song written by another country legend, Don Gibson.
one of the greatest!!

@ Yeah, promoters always seem to take the truth and embellish it a little to make it more romantic.
61 years old but remember hearing her when I was younger what a beautiful voice!!!!!!! Truly iconic voice.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
She is a siren and that’s for sure
Her voice is mythical mesmerizing and magical
I remember the 1st time I heard Patsy
I was on a long drive for my work and with a coworker
I didn’t bring any tapes to play in the rental vehicle tape deck but my coworker did
He had a Pasty Cline tape but I was not pleased about it
I didn’t like country and I was sure Patsy was country tho I had never listened to her
Well after listening to the tape first time I was dazed and quite happy that I had been fortunate enough to have lived long enough to have heard this amazing woman
I cried I was so overwhelmed by her
She was her own genre and I stupidly had ignored her because she was a country star
She called to my soul and I heard her loud and clear
Perhaps the finest slow-dancing, romancing song ever done.
The yodel in her voice pulls you in, so beautiful
Never been another Patsy. Probably never will.
Willie Nelson wrote that song that's what's crazy
Just a stunning performance.
One of a kind.
I heard someone say one time that she has a TEAR in her voice and it’s absolutely true I loved her voice and it was such a tragedy when the world lost her in the plane crash that took her life!
Patsy made one feel every song she sang

She was utterly amazing. I've listened to her songs for decades

Patsy is the true Queen of Country Music
The first time I heard LeAnn Rimes sing Blue, I thought it was Patsy. LeAnn Rimes did a tribute to Patsy. LeAnn Rimes Patsy Cline tribute ACAs 2013
Patsy Cline is a Legend and that's all you can say, thanks Lilly have a great day.
There will never be someone again like Patsy Cline. This song rocks. I have always enjoyed it.

More than 60 years since her death and still sounds as fresh today as it did way back then.
Patsy had a short life -- in a terrible car accident and then a plane crash! She has an immortal voice.
Great reaction.You said you dont know what it is about her voice. Patsy had a very controlled contralto lower register with enunciation and emphasis on certian vowels/words in her songs. Karen Carpenter also shared this unique voice in her own style. Both voices are instantly recognized in only a couple notes. Both died early.

A true legend !
patsy had the voice of an angel...
A legend that set the bar high for others to try to achieve, like Linda Ronstead is a legend and set the bar for singers to try to achieve.
This is pure talent no auto tune just her true voice.
When my daughter was a teenager I'd hear Patsy Cline singing "Crazy" through her closed bedroom door. It was usually after her & her boyfriend had an argument.
Sweet Dreams is your next choice. Patsy sings it so beautifully! ❤
A truly timeless song. This is considered country but I think it has far more universal appeal.
Its great your discovery the older music from different types
Miss Lilly, Patsy was one of the greatest singers of all time. You need to check out I Fall to Piece's and especially Sweet Dreams!!!!
Simply the Best. Soo Missed. ❤
Great song written by Willie & made even greater by the amazing Patsy Cline
Patsy and Karen Carpenter are the two best, in my opinion.
I agree, Patsy and Karen. Gone too soon.
Awwwww I love her! All those old country tunes have been on my playlist forever!✌🏻😎
Well, yeah, wasn't that a "wow performance"?
Your reaction was just perfect and beautiful. Loved it!
Good luck beating that voice! She was as good as it gets😊
Thx Lily Jane! Her voice is so smooth and her phrasing is just so amazing. Cool! Loretta Lynn is a legend as well.
Great video ! Keep up the good work !
I'm going to a LeeAnn Rimes concert on Saturday. She does an amazing job of covering some of Patsy's songs.
No speakers out there does her voice justice
No outrages costumes, no over the top dancing just stand and deliver PURE talent.
Wouldn't it be great to take Lilly Jane to a concert on a date... One of those outdoor concerts where you find a place to sit in the grass, surrounded by people
As a 70 y. Old. I loved your reaction.
Welcome to the incomparable Patsy Cline! I grew up on this music. Hadn't heard this song in an eon and the one day played it. Must have been the mood I was in that day, but I was instant waterworks! She was truly one of a kind. The clarity, timbre, and power of that voice is instantly recognizable. You might be interested in reacting to the Home Free cover of this song. They did it in a retro style, and Austin Brown, singing lead on this one, sang it in the same key. Very hard for a male singer! They did it justice... it's almost as good as the original.
Not many artists could sing live exactly the same as they recorded the song. It was said that Ms. Cline had a severe cold when she recorded this. "Crazy" was one of Willie's best.
One of my favs
Dolly Parton (pretty much any song, but Coat of Many Colors is a gem), Loretta Lynn, tammy wynette, and so many more)
She actually did not like the song and did not want to record it. But her manager talked her in to it. One of her GREATEST.
My favorite song
beautiful song, what a voice. nice reaction, thank you.......
Every time i hear the intro to this song, it reminds me of the trailer park boys intro (they used it). Funniest show ever!
Lovely reaction ,can see you totally get it.Connie Francis Who's sorry now and Patti Page the Tennesee waltz both worth checking out.
For your next female country artist you can never go wrong with Tanya Tucker. "Lizzie and the Rainman" was always one of my favs of hers.
Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Donna Fargo, Tammi Wynette, Jeanie C Riley, Linda Ronstadt, Bobby Gentry, just to name a few.
Great reaction! Patsy was the queen of country music when she died tragically in a plane crash at age 30 in 1963. The next Queen of country in the 60s and 70s was Loretta Lynn. Her classic is Coal Miners Daughter but another great was You Ain’t Woman Enough to Take My Man. From the 70s on many greats but stand out of course is Dolly Parton. Jolene is a great tune of hers and many younger people don’t realize she wrote and first performed I will Always Live You made mega famous by Whitney Houston many years later. But above all of those is my choice for greatest female vocalist of my lifetime Linda Ronstadt. She sang Rock she sang Country helped invent Country Rock, she sang The Great American Song Book with full orchestra she sang Opera and in Spanish has the best selling non English language album in the history of the charts. And in her Spare time helped some of her backing musicians form there own band called The Eagles. You couldn’t pick a bad song in any Genre and I’d have to list 100 if I got started but please please react to some Linda Ronstadt!
