My dad had a band, he was playing in Houston, a woman walked up and ask him if he knew any Patsy Cline, he said yes, and played one of her songs, he didn't realize until after the woman started singing that it was Patsy Cline.
Oh, yes. Absolutely. She also did this as a duet with Jim Reeves -- what a fantastic pairing of true Country Music vocalists. Phenomenal. Good call, Ponyboy!
Agreed!!! It's so unfortunate that we never got the chance to see her create more hits...she had such a natural power to her voice (with no technological enhancements that is incredible...). Another good one for this brother to check out is "She's got you"... They are all such sweet, simple and melodic songs...perfect for singing along to!! 🙂
So true - this was Patsy's first real hit, and her voice mellowed and matured as she got older. I hate that we lost her so soon - she had so much more to give.
Anne Murray of Canada is closer to Karen since both are altro and sing as written and both are 1 take singers cause big dollor back up band cost big money
I second Buddy Holly... Also died in a plane crash along with Ritchie Valens (e.g. La Bamba) and The Big Bopper (e.g. Chantilly Lace). May God rest their souls.
Patsy is one of the greats we lost too soon 😭 Another great artist from around that time is Marty Robbins. One of his most famous songs was El Paso. It is a story telling song, so I know you will enjoy it!
Mpompadour I’ve a funny story for ya. Back when I FIRST started my career in transportation (LTL) in customer service. We took all kinds of calls, inquiries, tracking, pickups.... but EVERY time a customer would call in asking to schedule a pickup in El Paso- the guy that sat behind me would hear and sing ‘OUT IN THE WEST TEXAS HILLS OF EL PASO...I FELL TO IN LOVE WITH A MEXICAN GIRL...’. Every time. To the point, EVERY TIME someone SAYS ‘El Paso,’ I hear the song in my head.
The REAL QUEEN of Country Music. No disrespect to Dolly or Loretta... but no one in Country Music can come close to this incredible lady. RIP Ms. Patsy
Very relatable, but I aint got no picture or no records, and they do not feel the same no more either, while she bumping ugly with half the town. But a great song.
Old Man Rolling Home, excellent recommendation! My favorite Billie Holliday song will always be “Strange Fruit!” It’s heartbreaking yet timeless and conveys such emotion!
I have sung this to all my grandkids as a lullaby. My 6 year old heard this on the radio a few weeks ago and said, wow, that woman is sing your song grandma. And my 4 year old sings this to me now. I love her voice. It's so nice to see a young person like you enjoying this.
Oh.. Absolutely Jim Reeves... Doesn't really matter which song, but the song you mentioned is a great one to start with... I used to play music at Jam sessions in the 90's. After one a few of us went to the bar next door just to sit and have a beer or two, and they were playing a lot of Jim Reeves.. We were just in awe of the talent that man had, coming through the sound system of the etablishment.. It was really nice to sit and listen to while visiting.....
My grandfather played steel guitar in the Grand Old Opera house band forever. In the 80s or early 90s there was a country western cable channel I use to sit and watch it with Him And he had the best storys about every country legend that came on they were very unfiltered stuff only people who were there would know about I wish I thought about taping them
Yes, I've heard a few tidbits like that from a friend of mine who sings at karaoke now, but was a recorded country singer back in the day...he knew Patsy Cline a little, speaks well of her as a person and makes note of her ability to cuss! :-)
Patsy was one of the first Country artists to have crossover success. She hit the Top 40 Chart with 4 singles from 1957 through 1962. With re-releases and posthumous releases, she hit the Country Chart with 20 singles from 1957 through 1999. She unfortunately perished in a plane crash in March of 1963.
This was Patsy's first hit record. Patsy recorded this song twice. This is the first version, recorded in 1956, featuring the pedal steel guitar prominently which made it sound more country. In 1961, she recorded a pop flavored version with her back-up group, The Jordanaires, (who also sang back-up for Elvis early in his career) singing doo-wop, percussions, electric bass, and Floyd Cramer on organ featured prominently. Patsy had two brushes with death, before dying in the plane crash. As a child she contracted Rheumatic Fever and in 1961 she was involved in a head on car crash that threw her through the windshield causing a dislocated hip, broken ribs and facial cuts. A tragic life that translated into the songs she sang.
Her music STILL influences artists to THIS day! Pure and honest voice! You should also react to Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, Kitty Wells, Eddy Arnold, Charlie Rich, and Hank Snow! Their voices can't be mistaken for anyone else's!
From one Black man to another, thanks so much for discovering The Great Patsy Cline! My Grandfather absolutely adored this woman and her voice. He had me listen to her as a kid, and i've probably watched "Sweet Dreams" The movie about her life and career so many times i can't count. There was a special on the Top 100 female country singers of all time, and Patsy was voted number one. The remarkable thing is all the singers still alive on that list ALL said she was definitely number one.
Patsy Cline was just about the perfect singer. To get some idea of her range, look up her version of the standard, "Won't You Come Home, Bill Bailey?" Starts off slow and soulful, then turns fast and joyful. Brilliant.
Mikefule If I were a female country singer, I’d never sing one of Patsy’s songs. She nailed every one of them and made them her own. Who else could ever do one of hers justice? You can’t improve on perfection. 🎼
My grandparents were in the audience of her first concert after her horrible car crash in 1961. It was at the Cimarron Ballroom in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Someone discovered a recording of that concert and released it on CD in 1997. My grandfather told me she was on crutches but it was one of the thrills of his life to hear her belt out those songs so effortlessly. He made sure to always play some Patsy Cline for me anytime we were together. One of my all time favorite singers.
Oh man, hope Jamal reacts to "Buckaroo". Also, if you all check out The Derailers, they are under the influence of Buck. Buck Owens' last song was with them, Buck loved The Derailers.
The instrument in the intro, break, and in the background is a steel guitar. It is played by Don Helms. He was a pretty prolific steel player from the 50's until the 80's. He was the steel player For Hank Williams Sr. That is some first rate steel playing there.
A voice from my childhood this is burned into my brain so deep that after i forget everything else it will still be there.I don't know how people danced to it except my mother dancing around the house to it.
Actually Western Swing. Check out the great Bob Wills the king of Western Swing. This style is definitely more "Western" than "Country". It owes it's vibe to the movie cowboys. Don't Fence Me In and Tumblin' Tumbleweeds are good examples.
Real men don't dance, we do not have no rythm. We exercise our elbows at the bar. Then we exfoliate the dead skin on our elbows once a week, and put them in facemasks made of the finest mediteranian snails to keep them from getting wrinkly, and ready for the barcounter next week. Only BAYDAHS dance.
Best. Song. Ever. And they danced to it with the radio going. Patsy was one of that generation that saw the transition from Radio, to TV. She passed just afterwards.
Thank you. Good job. Patsy Cline was very special. Such a distinctive, comfortable, beautiful voice. And from the mid-50's on as TV began to expose all of these stars, the stars began to do hundreds of concerts on a regional basis because people wanted to see them. It was a great way to promote themselves and their music. They'd fly small, 4-6 seater planes and go a couple of hundred miles to the next venue. It was in those small planes we lost far too many greats.
You've come this far in Miss Patsy's songbook, you should listen to Sweet Dreams. A signature song with a super eerie feel. It was the last song she sang before she died. The intro actually sounds like a plane crash in a way. Side note to the song, it was the last song Reba McEntire sang with her band before they were killed, also in a plane crash back in the 90s
grew up in the projects in South Boston, 7 of us in a 2 bedroom apt. my earliest memories of my mother, are her dancing around doing what mom's do, listening to Patsy and Hank. we were so well taken care of, we didn't know we were poor. around 1959.
it has been said by those who worked with Patsy in the studio that she lived every song she sang while we she was singing it, she put herself in the song and that is why there is so much emotion in her voice. listen to her sing "Faded Love", those are real tears at the end
We’ve got almost 100 likes for Crosby, Stills, and Nash; “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes”. On the cue? My mom loved Patsy Cline, so she was a presence in our home throughout my childhood.
My grandpa never really talked about music, but I know he loved Patsy Cline and this was one of his favorite songs. He passed away back in November I’ll definitely miss him.
If you feel like reacting to more classic country, I would love to see you do “Coal Miner’s Daughter” by Loretta Lynn. Great channel. Your reactions are awesome!
Bill Newcomb The album that Loretta did with Jack White a few years ago was really good . Jack produced it himself, and kept it as minimalistic and raw as he could, so you are getting just PURE Loretta Lynn in every song. I would recommend giving it a listen ( I think the album is called “ Van Lear Rose “ maybe... there is definitely a song called that on the album ).
@@amandacantcometothephone I think Adele is a fantastic singer. What I was trying to say is Patsy Cline was so out of this world great even Adele could, or anyone for that matter, learn from her. No disrespect intended.
@@boscokid9524 fair enough, my apologies usually these comments are intended to disrespect successful artist to uplift someone else patsy definitely has something special i dont really think adele would benefit from learning from her as she usually sings in her own style and live with no autotune, i think artist that are so filtered could learn from these artist, i would imagine its easier to go on stage and lip sing or use a filter and a gimmick to get people talking than it is to stand and actually sing authentically the absolute confidence you need to do what these older artist did is insane to me😂
Kevin Gruen Yup! You can't truly understand Rock and Roll if you don't listen to Robert Johnson, Lead Belly and Son House. It all started in the Mississippi Delta.
Jamel, it was a simple two-step to this song. This was her first big hit. There were many more to come. I made a request in the "Crazy" video you posted, Patsy only lived to be 30 years old. The last song she recorded was sung at the benefit concert she did in Kansas City. Her plane back to Nashville crashed in a fierce storm, there were no survivors. That last song was "Sweet Dreams". An eerily poignant for her to to say goodbye. Hers is the best voice ever in Country Music, and one of the best in all of music. Sweet Dreams, Patsy Cline. Your music will live forever -- as Jamel is proving right here! So maybe Jamel can play her "goodbye" song for us. And watch episode 4 of Ken Burns' "Country Music".
I have seen a video of her singing this and it was a very understated performance, she was pretending to work at a fabric store and while she was belting this gorgeous song she was just,,, putting away fabric, folding it up and yet it made for such a powerful performance because of how subtle it was, matched with those powerful vocals
She was quite an original person! I really do still love this music and the memories of what I was feeling at the time these songs were still getting a lot of play time. There are so many good songs and of these, there are three songs that come to mind; Sweet Dreams, Back in Baby’s Arms, and She’s Got You. They were from a more innocent time. I hope you enjoy these as much the ready of us. Thanks for humoring is, again.
Another huge kudos to you buddy. You always get the great ones. I still think you should do the videos both Nancy Sinatra and These Boots Are Made for Walkin and Tennessee Ernie Ford with 16 tons.
My dad is from Tupelo, MS and to him it was either Gospel or Country nothin else...I remember watching Hee Haw falling in love with the classics... little black CA kids we were singing Patsy, Loretta and Dolly
love your honest reaction, as always! i remember my grandparents playing her records when i was young.she wasn't a beauty, she was cute. kinda looked like a 1950's housewife.but man could she sing!
You like ‘pure, raw’ voices like Karen Carpenter and Patsy Cline? You would totally appreciate Eva Cassidy! Try her unique version of “Over the Rainbow” for starters. Others have imitated her, but no one has equaled her.
Ahhh, the classic country sound, plinkety-plink guitar, brash bare cymbal, and haunting steel guitar. I see her man cruisin' the backroads in a big ol' Cadillac, sippin' on a bottle of Jim Beam and smokin' a Lucky Strike. The cry in her voice, a feminine version of Johnny Weismuller's Tarzan yell, beckoning her love to come home.
If you have some down time from making these videos, I recommend watching "Sweet Dreams", 1985 bio-movie about Patsy Cline & her rise to stardom. Jessica Lange's performance as Patsy garnered her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. The movie has the same title as one of her famous songs, but "Crazy" is probably the most widely known of all her hits. Her cover of Hank Williams Sr.'s song "Your cheatin' heart" has always been my favorite version. As everyone has recommended below, please check out I fall to pieces & she's got you... and I would like to add Tennessee Waltz to the ever growing list - LOL! :-)
I know my dad loved Patsy Cline and taught me the Two Step to this song! Arms over, under and around locked together in the back. Oh what fun! That's how we danced to it!
My dad had a band, he was playing in Houston, a woman walked up and ask him if he knew any Patsy Cline, he said yes, and played one of her songs, he didn't realize until after the woman started singing that it was Patsy Cline.
That is bleeping amazing. Hopefully he got a picture or something.
Oh wow!! That had to be a mind blower for him.
@@golfr-kg9ss No, it was 1962, people didn't just carry camera's around with them then.
@@mikeadams2677 My mom said he was in shock when he got home, my dad was a great musician, but only did it to make a few extra bucks.
Your dad was one lucky man
As an old guy, 67, I love watching Mr. Jamel/Jamal's reactions to the great music of my youth. He makes the music even more enjoyable. Love this guy!
This 61-year old agrees ...
Well said!!!
I am 75 and I love his reactions too. I talk to the screen as if he can hear me, L O L
I know that feeling
I'm 63 and addicted to this guy!
"I fall to pieces" is also a huge hit.
agreed!!!
Absolutely You Need to do "I Fall To Pieces" please
One of my favorites❤️
Oh, yes. Absolutely. She also did this as a duet with Jim Reeves -- what a fantastic pairing of true Country Music vocalists. Phenomenal. Good call, Ponyboy!
The way her voice catches on this song will tear you apart.
This is a fun song but you really need to hear Sweet Dreams or I fall to pieces to really appreciate her voice.
Rosanne Rizzo look up Jamey Johnson’s version of I fall to pieces
I Agree. Sweet dreams was one of her best!
Agreed!!! It's so unfortunate that we never got the chance to see her create more hits...she had such a natural power to her voice (with no technological enhancements that is incredible...). Another good one for this brother to check out is "She's got you"...
They are all such sweet, simple and melodic songs...perfect for singing along to!! 🙂

So true - this was Patsy's first real hit, and her voice mellowed and matured as she got older. I hate that we lost her so soon - she had so much more to give.
Karen Carpenter and Patsy’s voices are different but your observation that they both give pure goosebumpage is right on.
Yep. I commented somewhere else on here that Patsy sounds like the sun going down, Karen like the moon coming up...
Karen, Patsy, and Cass Elliot. Sublime.
Anne Murray of Canada is closer to Karen since both are altro and sing as written and both are 1 take singers cause big dollor back up band cost big money
same way with Lee Ann Rimes
One of my favorites to play while camping.
“She’s Got You” is a great one.
Oh man, that's one of those sad songs that will rip out your still-beating heart and show it to you.
So funny Brett.... I also listen to Patsy Cline when camping! You just want to sit in front of the fire with a beverage
Ditto!
@@joeday4293 wow, what a perfect description.
@@joeday4293 Check out "Leaving on your mind" if you like that kind of tune. It will tear your heart out.
She has such a stunning and recognisable voice. I Fall To Pieces or Sweet Dreams would also be well worth reacting to.
She’s an oldie. She’s the queen.
That’s the raw talent just like the King Elvis..
Another natural talent is Buddy Holly, accomplished so much in a short career.
Yes he wrote songs at 16 and was killed at 22. Big list of great hits!
Love me some buddy holly!
Can't beat a bit of buddy!
I second Buddy Holly... Also died in a plane crash along with Ritchie Valens (e.g. La Bamba) and The Big Bopper (e.g. Chantilly Lace). May God rest their souls.
And released several albums after his death. The last album he released was 10 years after his death. Now that is prolific.
Patsy is one of the greats we lost too soon 😭 Another great artist from around that time is Marty Robbins. One of his most famous songs was El Paso. It is a story telling song, so I know you will enjoy it!
My favorite Marty Robbins song is "Don't Worry", one of the first examples of the fuzz distortion on guitar.
Mpompadour I’ve a funny story for ya. Back when I FIRST started my career in transportation (LTL) in customer service. We took all kinds of calls, inquiries, tracking, pickups.... but EVERY time a customer would call in asking to schedule a pickup in El Paso- the guy that sat behind me would hear and sing ‘OUT IN THE WEST TEXAS HILLS OF EL PASO...I FELL TO IN LOVE WITH A MEXICAN GIRL...’. Every time. To the point, EVERY TIME someone SAYS ‘El Paso,’ I hear the song in my head.
Oh man I had forgotten about Marty Robbins El Paso. One of my dad favorites. Great song choice.
Devil Woman
even better would be Big Iron
The REAL QUEEN of Country Music. No disrespect to Dolly or Loretta... but no one in Country Music can come close to this incredible lady. RIP Ms. Patsy
Singing her heart out without an ounce of stress or strain. Just opened her mouth and pure heaven came out. Too soon, Miss Patsy, too soon.
You should definitely do “I Fall to Pieces” as well. Her voice is just out of this world - as you’ve already heard. She was taken from us too soon.
Try "I Fall To Pieces" is just a great tune. My favorite of Cline's.
Miss Patsy.. to you
That song is on my iPhone playlist 👍🏿
I love that song too.
mine is If You've Got Leaving On Your Mind
"She's got you" is another really good one.
Yep.
A beauty for sure...
Very relatable, but I aint got no picture or no records, and they do not feel the same no more either, while she bumping ugly with half the town. But a great song.
How about her version of"Leavin' on your Mind"?
@@metrogoldwyn ABSOLUTELY. I was hoping someone other than me would mention that one. Great tune, incredible vocal take. Absolutely killer.
She was a great singer Sweet Dreams is a beautiful song she sang
This is my favorite song of hers. I'd like to see you do some Billie Holiday. She's my favorite jazz/blues singer. Tragic story, too, man.
Jamel, if you would like a haunting, beautiful, unsettling musical history lesson, react to Billie Holiday, "Strange Fruit."
@@joeday4293 Oh, please. This song needs to be heard by everyone.
Yes! Strange fruit is a great one!
Voting for Strange Fruit also. A lot of great jazz singers never wrote their material, but Billie did write it.
Old Man Rolling Home, excellent recommendation! My favorite Billie Holliday song will always be “Strange Fruit!” It’s heartbreaking yet timeless and conveys such emotion!
My distant cousin Patsy Cline. Her maiden name is Hensley. My grandmother was a Hensley.
I suggest you listen to Sweet Dreams by Patsy Cline.
Virginia Patterson Hensley, what a voice.
One of the best songs- Sweet Dreams"
I visited her grave in Winchester VA once ....had to look up her real name to find it.
I also have a Hensley connection to Patsy Cline.
💯❣️

Jim Reeves "put your sweet lips a little closer" it's an old but loved his voice.
no one was smoother than Jim Reeves. He was my Mom's favorite.
Jim Reeves Streets Of Laredo is my favorite version of that old country song. :)
He'll have to go and get that one from somewhere.
Oh.. Absolutely Jim Reeves... Doesn't really matter which song, but the song you mentioned is a great one to start with... I used to play music at Jam sessions in the 90's.

"If You've Got Leaving On Your Mind" and "She's Got You" need to be heard next.
You have EXCELLENT taste.
Her music STILL influences artists to THIS day! Pure and honest voice!

I grew up listening to Patsy. Thank you for sharing her with a new generation of fans! One of my favorites of hers is Never No More.
My mom loved to go dancing. Patsy Cline was one of her favorites. By the time I was born she was already a grandmother twice over.
I've two-stepped around the dance floor thousands of times, probably two-stepped across Texas.
For this one a slow swinging waltz, takes me back. I must've 2 stepped and waltzed across Texas in the late 80s.
Next must do I Sweet dreams. Her trademark song

She could give Adele singing lessons. Natural legendary talent. C’mon, she even had a stamp with her picture on it.
i think Adele doing just fine, you know you can praise someone without shitting on someone else right? 😂
@@amandacantcometothephone I think Adele is a fantastic singer. What I was trying to say is Patsy Cline was so out of this world great even Adele could, or anyone for that matter, learn from her. No disrespect intended.
@@boscokid9524 fair enough, my apologies usually these comments are intended to disrespect successful artist to uplift someone else patsy definitely has something special i dont really think adele would benefit from learning from her as she usually sings in her own style and live with no autotune, i think artist that are so filtered could learn from these artist, i would imagine its easier to go on stage and lip sing or use a filter and a gimmick to get people talking than it is to stand and actually sing authentically the absolute confidence you need to do what these older artist did is insane to me😂
Hey Jamel you need to hear Sweet Dreams. This is my favorite Patsy Cline song.
One of a kind...her voice was always just so perfect and she made it seem effortless:)
Beautiful voice! Patsy Cline was phenomenal!
I think it's time for you to go way back and discover Hank Williams Sr.. Damn near any song will do.
Move it on over!
Kevin Gruen I'm so lonesome I could cry. Those lyrics is pure American poetry.
@@kesleycottrell1416 how about some leadbelly, jimmie rodgers &/or woody Guthrie. The real originals
Kevin Gruen Yup! You can't truly understand Rock and Roll if you don't listen to Robert Johnson, Lead Belly and Son House. It all started in the Mississippi Delta.
@@kesleycottrell1416 absolutely true!
Classic country song. Listen to her song “Strange”. Great song as well.
Jamel, it was a simple two-step to this song. This was her first big hit. There were many more to come. I made a request in the "Crazy" video you posted, Patsy only lived to be 30 years old. The last song she recorded was sung at the benefit concert she did in Kansas City. Her plane back to Nashville crashed in a fierce storm, there were no survivors. That last song was "Sweet Dreams". An eerily poignant for her to to say goodbye. Hers is the best voice ever in Country Music, and one of the best in all of music. Sweet Dreams, Patsy Cline. Your music will live forever -- as Jamel is proving right here! So maybe Jamel can play her "goodbye" song for us.
And watch episode 4 of Ken Burns' "Country Music".
“I’ve loved and lost again” I could play that one everyday
OMG, one of my favorite songs, and singers--what a voice
She has one of those iconic voices, when you hear it you know its her.
Loving that steel guitar...that's real country! Patsy is a legend....all her music is great!
My Mom used to listen to a radio program called Big D jamboree in Dallas. She loved Patsy! It reminds of her. Thanks Jamal! Be safe and healthy Peace!
Gotta do "Sweet Dreams" next. It'll bring those goose bumps back.
Please react to her song, "I fall to pieces"
I have seen a video of her singing this and it was a very understated performance, she was pretending to work at a fabric store and while she was belting this gorgeous song she was just,,, putting away fabric, folding it up and yet it made for such a powerful performance because of how subtle it was, matched with those powerful vocals
She was quite an original person! I really do still love this music and the memories of what I was feeling at the time these songs were still getting a lot of play time. There are so many good songs and of these, there are three songs that come to mind; Sweet Dreams, Back in Baby’s Arms, and She’s Got You. They were from a more innocent time. I hope you enjoy these as much the ready of us. Thanks for humoring is, again.
Like others I highly recommend Sweet Dreams. Everytime I hear her sing it i get goosebumps.
Another huge kudos to you buddy. You always get the great ones. I still think you should do the videos both Nancy Sinatra and These Boots Are Made for Walkin and Tennessee Ernie Ford with 16 tons.
My dad is from Tupelo, MS and to him it was either Gospel or Country nothin else...I remember watching Hee Haw falling in love with the classics... little black CA kids we were singing Patsy, Loretta and Dolly
Love me some Patsy. Love me some steel guitar.
I thumbs upped this video before even seeing your reaction, because I knew you'd like it.
Jamel.could u please react to sweet dreams .by patsey. Its a beautiful song . I remember when she passed .they played that song .
“Sweet Dreams” movie, life story of her!!! Watch it if you haven’t! So good!
love your honest reaction, as always! i remember my grandparents playing her records when i was young.she wasn't a beauty, she was cute. kinda looked like a 1950's housewife.but man could she sing!
i'm glad your hearing all these great country singers people your age never listen to this anymore and these people were legends
It's a sad song that makes you happy when you hear it.
You like ‘pure, raw’ voices like Karen Carpenter and Patsy Cline? You would totally appreciate Eva Cassidy! Try her unique version of “Over the Rainbow” for starters. Others have imitated her, but no one has equaled her.
She was from my hometown and graduated with my brother. She was as sweet as her voice!
I SECOND THIS
Absolutely! Over the Rainbow and Fields of Gold!!!
Eva does a mean "Wade In The Water" as well. Pretty much the whole Songbird album is a masterpiece.
Omg yes!! Eva Cassidy all the way!
She didn't really dance during her performances. She just was a regal lady who could belt it. Thanks for honoring her.
I'm in my 30s and me, my wife and kids love Miss Patsy. Her voice is so beautiful and pure.
Ahhh, the classic country sound, plinkety-plink guitar, brash bare cymbal, and haunting steel guitar. I see her man cruisin' the backroads in a big ol' Cadillac, sippin' on a bottle of Jim Beam and smokin' a Lucky Strike. The cry in her voice, a feminine version of Johnny Weismuller's Tarzan yell, beckoning her love to come home.
Wouldn’t even know this song existed without this video. Thx for sharing!
Listen to “She’s Got You”
If you have some down time from making these videos, I recommend watching "Sweet Dreams", 1985 bio-movie about Patsy Cline & her rise to stardom. Jessica Lange's performance as Patsy garnered her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. The movie has the same title as one of her famous songs, but "Crazy" is probably the most widely known of all her hits. Her cover of Hank Williams Sr.'s song "Your cheatin' heart" has always been my favorite version. As everyone has recommended below, please check out I fall to pieces & she's got you... and I would like to add Tennessee Waltz to the ever growing list - LOL! :-)
Pasty Cline is a singer whose voice one can fall in love with. She reaches your soul.
I know my dad loved Patsy Cline and taught me the Two Step to this song! Arms over, under and around locked together in the back. Oh what fun! That's how we danced to it!
Try some Dusty Springfield....!!! "Son of a Preacher Man"
Try “you belong to me” or “I fall to pieces”
