Patsy Cline is the greatest female vocalist in any genre of music! She is a true icon! Her voice is powerful and haunting! Filled with emotion! She made every song she sang her own. I will love her always
The backing singers Juniors bobmore Bradley Floyd Cramer we're all Elvis Presley musicians as well Patsy Cline was back by complete Elvis Presley band and backing singers which added the unique brilliant sound to a brilliant voice
There will never be another country music singer like Patsy Cline Yes she was from my town so proud to have had such talented personality from Winchester Virginia
Crazy the song that my mother used to sing, i learn the song through her. Happly i sang her favorite song before before she passed. Patsy is one of my favorite song artist before when i was a small girl. Now i passed her song to my daughter. Love you Patsy Cline.
The number one song of all time. No one is going to dethrone her. No matter where one goes in the WORLD, if there is a juke box and upon the same, if it is a sane country, this song will be on it. Isn't it just "Crazy"?
Just like my mom was Patsy, life treated both ladies private lives, crazy. Yet, publicly they were very beautiful to see, Mom was the worlds greatest singer known only to a few and me, unlike Patsy, Both women were larger than life, and died way too early. For those of us in this world who know God gave Patsy Cline the greatest musical ability. To touch and comfort our hearts with her Crazy song, completely. I’d just like to say in mannerisms too, she also resembled my mom who few people knew, could sing better than angels do. So, grateful for the short time I shared with Elaine Henry, and the one who cared for me as a baby. From all the struggles in their lives they had to see I am so glad they are both now free.
The fabulous Jordanaires sound wonderful and add so much to this legendary song . They were so much a part of Patsy's sound during the last 4 to 5 years of her life .
The Jordanaires sang on all of her records from late 1959 until her death. Their first appearance was on "Moving Along". Before they joined her she was backed by the equally great Anita Kerr Singers.

i don't need to mince words here , this is simply one of the ten greatest recordings of all time , this analysis did not give enough recognition to the inspired piano playing of FLOYD CRAMER , yes PATSY did the vocal in one take , but the track had already been laid down , the first three notes are from the piano and immediately set the tone for PATSY to wrap her immense vocal talents around , i have always maintained that orchestration is often times the difference between a great recording and a fabled one , this of course is the latter of the two .
This sounds so good on an old wuritzer Juke Box from the early 60's, she had this natural talent that awed us all almost 60 years ago..and still does! Timeless
Bravo! I love that Patsy sang the song only once in the studio. Just like the fact that Doris Day went into the studio and recorded Secret Love in one take. That is true talent!!!!
*"Patsy Cline"* sang straight from her heart & soul--Her nuances & EXTREME feelings- sweet-- Golden voice was just TOTALLY impeccable!!!- a voice that will live on FOREVER!!- "Love you--Patsy Cline & ALWAYS will!!"
Visited Patsy's grave last year. Left a shiny quarter and played "i Fall to Pieces" on my stereo. It was surreal, knowing that below me was Patsy Cline. The great singer, the legend and my favorite.
Everything was perfect that session. Musicians that knew and played a great song. So much space. The jordanaires and owen bradley. The stars aligned ! History was made.
Not sure why but it just occurred to me that I mostly listen to Pasty Cline around Chritsmas/// Wish She had had lived long enough to record an actual Christmas LP how great would that have been?
I grew up with my grandparents and my grandmom played Patsy Cline all the time. I absolutely love her and grew up watching the movie about her, “Sweet Dreams”. Now my teenage daughter loves her.
It’s 38 sad people now. Who doesn’t like Patsy Cline?! She’s an icon. It’s their loss, she’s stirred my soul since I was young. Love her voice and wish she hadn’t died so young. 31... wow. Just imagine how many more wonderful songs we’d have from her if she’d of lived. 💔💔💔
@@amichellep82 I don’t know who Patsy Cline is. As I don’t listen to music from the 60’s. I was born in 70’s. But, suddenly this happened to me. I was overtaken by something. Let me know what you think. I was heartbroken. The woman is a country Cowgirl. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LCZGG10Y-XU.html
This is an amazing story about an amazing song. Did you know that Patsy ,at first, did not like the song CRAZY, and tried to get out of recording it.Willie Nelson wrote it but Patsy put it in the history books,HOSS!!!
Liked country music (unusual for a european) but had never heard of Patsy CLINE when I got a CD from her at Vancouver at a music Store of oldies just to see how it sounded, after all I wouldn' t be loosing much for most of the stuff was on sale and...THERE SHE WAS. No artífice, marvelous vocal technique but most of all truth, stopping time, your heart hunging from her voice...ufff. That was a few years ago and I became a faithful follower. She is unique.
They fail to mention that Patsy was unable to sing the high note during the initial recording because of her injuries from the car wreck and that is why she came back a week later and nailed it on the first try. You can hear her voice on the music track at the end of the song in the pause between loving you.
I dont understand the statement. I hear that before her voice comes across you can hear "you" begin in the background a split second early but I dont know why.. Can you explain what you are talking about?
@@jaysilverheals4445First off - it's only noticeable in the original stereo mix. You'll notice on the mono single mix, you can't hear the pre-echo. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tQ__klJ7fC0.html Read below to find out why. For a real good primer - go watch `Grace of My Heart' with Eric Stoltz and Illeanna Douglas - and pay special attention to the scene where Matt Damon takes a scratch piano track and a scratch vocal track that's going to be erased later - and makes a HUGE production out of it. In the early days of multi-channel recording of the 50s and early 60s there was only three tracks. Earlier than that though you can look up ``Recording Stages'' and ``Overdubbing'' in any decent History of Recording book you care to name. In Recording Stages for great big budget recordings - they would come in and lay down the bass, rhythm guitar and piano, maybe with a scratch drum track they were going to replace later. That would all be mixed down to mono and flown over to a 2nd 3-track tape leaving two open. The other two would be used for say two tracks of background singers or one track of singers and maybe a soloist or sideman would come in that couldn't make the original date. That was mixed to mono and flown back over to the first deck along with a 2nd generation copy of the basic track leaving one open for the leadman or -woman to lay down their final production vocal. If producers in the early 60s would have tried to do what Matt Dillon did with the technology then available - we'd be there for a month in the days when record companies made you lay down four songs in a three hour session counting setup and breakdown. Your whole album better be done in under a week or there'd be a heavy price to pay. Look up the Beach Boys sessions for `Good Vibrations' on which the scene is based. $50,000 to produce one side of one single when everybody else was doing a whole EP inside of three hours and spending less than $2,000. Matt Dillon would have had to have at least that much if not more to realize his sonic visions just like Brian Wilson had to have - and the resulting tape hiss from all the flying back and forth would have been unbearable. Listen to an un-denoised original copy of Les Paul and Mary Ford doing their hit How High the Moon and you'll get an idea. In those days, shellac what 78s were made out of was hissy enough - so the fact that they did 12 overdubs back to front to back to front adding a layer of hiss each time didn't matter. When they went to nearly noiseless vinyl surfaces for 45 - all of a sudden it was nearly unbearable. Good thing it had already made itself a hit on 78. Same thing with the echo here. It made itself a hit off a mono 45 on AM radio and mono jukeboxes LONG before people were able to get it on a stereo LP. It was commonplace in those days to isolate the new recordings in a booth so that their playing or singing would not bleed over into the other tracks except through headphone leakage. With the basic tracks it was only baffles that redirected the sound towards the mic assigned to it TRYING with only varying degrees of success to reduce or eliminate the bleed onto the other tracks. It didn't matter THAT much because it was all going to be mixed to mono later anyway (which is why some early stereo sounds strange to a modern ear). But to get greater separation, better baffles and larger distances were necessary - but then the band would have trouble staying in sync with each other because they could neither hear nor see their bandmates clearly. But when it came time for the leadman/woman to do their final production vocal - they were in a soundproof room by themselves with just headphones. Now in Patsy's case, she did actually try and sing along on several of the outtakes recorded that night, but it was decided to only use the best INSTRUMENTAL take (they didn't splice in and out of different takes in country the way they did with pop and rock and roll). The other incident that contributes to the pre-echo is the fact that Patsy's ``soundproof room'' on this song was not a room by any stretch of the imagination. What actually happened was the isolation area was actually formed by a series of 8 foot tall wooden baffles with pillow-type material on the bottom and windows in the tops. Patsy's microphone was mounted on a giraffe and lowered way down into the isolation area to sit right in front of her face. Since there was no roof to the isolation space, faint echoes of her voice were captured by the other microphones nearby recording the band mere feet away outside the isolation area (remember - later on when they were recording for Stereo on purpose instead of just to get a better balance in the Mono single mix that would be heard on the radio - it was tough to stay in sync). So even though they only flew the two band tracks over to the other tape so Patsy would have the third track to record her new vocal onto - if she ended up with a quiet place in the track where she herself had been loud in the original recording - the echoes of the original track would bleed through. Several people doing digital sync-up have re-aligned that final `You' from her isolated production vocal to sync up with her echoes from the original session - but it always turns out bad because even tho THAT is lined up now - other things are not - so it makes for a worse sin than just leaving it alone.
LOVE Patsy. The song(her last recording session)that gets me the most is "Faded Love". No one talks about it. She cried the whole time while recording it. Gives me CHILLS, as do all her songs. One of the greatest(I think) singers ever.
There are three songs of Patsy's that reach into me emotionally. 1. Sweet Dreams (Of You), 2. Faded Love, 3. Lonely Street. There is something about those three songs, her vocals, and the music. The harmonica in Lonely Street, the violins in Sweet Dreams, and at one special spot in Faded Love--so emotional. it was like she was living the song. I had never heard of Patsy Cline until the movie Sweet Dreams was released, I fell in love with that voice, and wanted to know more about this special lady. I even sent a letter to Owen Bradley asking him where I could find out more about her. He was so kind as to reply back to me, putting me in touch with her fan club. I still have that letter today. It was typed on a typewriter, no fancy word processor. I wish I could have met Patsy and Owen, they made a fantastic team.
First, let me say that I've been a huge fan of Patsy Cline and of her God-given talent -- the likes of which hasn't been seen or heard since. But I'm always amazed at how little praise or recognition has been given to the extremely gifted and prolific songwriter Willie Nelson, whose catalog of songs includes many, many major hits. However, in most cases, it wasn't Willie's voice who made them hits -- it was the fortuitous and magical interpretation expressed by such greats as Patsy Cline that made them beloved music standards. God Bless and thanks for posting these tributes.
Those who know music are aware those who don't it's their loss. Although Willie Nelson is a Country Legend and I'm pretty sure most know he wrote Crazy now as for Hello Walls or Mr. Record Man and the other 350 He wrote or Co wrote it's doubtful
Definitely 100% agree!! Willie Nelson is a true American Icon and legend that doesn't get talked about nearly as much as he should!! An Awesome talent in every sense of the word. Both his song writing and his vocal sounds will be a part of music history FOREVER!!!
I'm playing this 0f Patsy Cline because my aunt's were the ones that turn me on to her my aunt that died 3 or 4 years ago took me to a little restaurant bar light place when I was 5 years old and play crazy and told me it was Patsy Cline now my other aunt witch was the youngest of three sisters . Used to sing that at bars like the eagle and the moose that we would go to in karaoke. They're both dead now and my mother she was the oldest the last to go her and my aunt both died this July. miss them both terribly sometimes you don't realize how great and wonderful ants can be and they were most of the time towards me especially when I was younger. I always my youngest Aunt to marry my father because they we're divorced my mother and father. All the memories that I have I've been a wonderful most of them until they got sick and I sure do miss them and I want you people to know that nobody sounds to me as good as Patsy Cline not even to this day when I first heard her at 5 years old.. I saw her Patsy place of death on a video and the parts of her body was scattered everywhere it was horrible the way she died . I hope that she's in heaven never have to suffer again we're all Sinners people and we have to believe in the Lord and He will save all of us from this evil Ness that's all around us nowadays. May the Lord be with you all and keep you safe
Fun story, I've always loved Patsy Cline, her voice is incredible and like no other. I sang her songs to my babies when they were little and my youngest, who is 1.5 now, if he's fussing, we just put Patsy on and he settles right down. ❤
I thought Patsy Cline did not like the song "Crazy" at first. I did not know for the longest Willie Nelson had written the song. He sat in the car at her dream house. Wow, glad she recorded it, one of the most beautiful songs in country music sung by her great voice! I can listen to it over and over. I did not know the other famous singers and musicians who were involved with the making of the recording, no wonder it turned out like it did. How she was not pleased with the song, how it is much loved today. From A Nashville Girl (MUSIC CITY USA PROUD!)
They forgot to mention the great Walter Haynes on Steel Guitar. That’s him doing the tremolo volume swell’s through-out this recording. I was in a band for 9 years with Walt. I played with Gordon too. R.I.P. (Walt later produced many records under Owen Bradley…
I still mourn her and won a singing constant and prizes with Crazy. And my mother who recently passed and was stingy with her compliments told me if she'd closed her eyes she thought Patsy was on the stage. Greatest compliment I received and in 61 I was 8 and idolized her forever... What a woman to look up too and saddened so many for her untimely passing to this day. It must've been an absolute thrill to know her dear.
Patsy looks like Snow White. So tragic that she was in a car crash were she went through the windscreen then the following year the plane crash. Her voice is pure and magical.
Indeed magic. Which is why I love two so different singers, Johnny Cash and Eva Cassidy. The great singers are magicians. For example two Aussie girls, Joan Sutherland and Judy Durham. There are of course hundreds more. Some not famous.
Even in 2022 "crazy" is the most played song on the juke box nationally. Sorry Liberals. The righteous brothers " I lost that lovin' feeling is second."
