Cover Notes: Patsy Cline was the first true Queen of Country, putting down markers in a male-dominated musical world for the likes of Kitty Wells, Brenda Lee and Loretta Lynn. She is now revered by a new generation of performers. Invited to sing on American television’s Arthur Godfrey Talent Scouts show, the show’s producers insisted she sing ‘Walkin’ After Midnight’. The standing ovation it won from the studio audience told its own story, and a number 12 pop hit resulted. She came back strongly, recording another crossover hit in ‘Crazy’, written by Willie Nelson. It became her biggest seller, reaching number 9 in the Billboard pop listing that October. Other 1962-vintage tracks featured here are ‘She’s Got You’, ‘When I Get Thru With You (You’ll Love Me Too)’ and ‘So Wrong’, show an artist at the top of her game. But while 1962 would bring more acclaim, the story ended for Patsy Cline all too soon. However, her recordings ensure Patsy’s name lives on through her songs ‘Heartaches’, ‘You’re Stronger Than Me’, ‘Lonely Street’, ‘Stop, Look and Listen’, ‘Why Can’t He Be You’, ‘You Belong to Me’, ‘Strange’ and the Hank Williams cover ‘Your Cheatin’ Heart’.
