She did wear the headband to cover up the scar. The Crazy video is video with the studio recording played over it. Here, this is Patsy singing live with simple background music done on a TV program. If Patsy liked someone, she called them Hoss. She also learned that as a woman, concert and event promoters would take advantage and you got paid first or you might not get paid. She also used to say, no cash, no Cline, like Aretha Franklin, they made sure they were paid in full before they walked on stage. If you want a very country song, her first big hit was Walking After Midnight.

I fall to pieces, Walkin' after midnight, Your cheatin' heart, & Tennessee Waltz - a few of my top favorites & really shows off her amazingly silky smooth & soulful voice.

Country music used to be a big tent with many sub-genres: Cajun, Rockabilly, Western swing, Cowboy music (aka Country and Western), the Bakersfield Sound, Bluegrass, Hillbilly, Folk, Appalachian Mountain ballads, Gospel, Honky Tonk, and probably a few others I can't think of off hand). Patsy's music was called The Nashville Sound (Country pop).

It’s the almost yodel crack that makes her voice so distinctive. She also really pronounces each and every word.

The Hollies - "Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

There were 3 Country artists in the late 50’s and early 60’s that had voices and songs that crossed over into Pop. They were Marty Robbins, Patsy Cline, and Jim Reeves. All 3 started singing Country and Western ( as it was called then) but found the groove and songs to get play on pop radio and television variety shows.

Walkin' After Midnight is the song that gained Patsy notice.

This is one of my favorites from her. She was quite capable of doing other genres, but she was a country singer at heart. Some more suggestions for your journey into Patsy's music: Walking After Midnight, So Wrong, Strange and especially I Fall to Pieces.

Check out one of her major country songs. "I Fall To Pieces" the studio version. You'll love it.

Try her first hit, "Walkin' After Midnight." A tad more country. Back in those days, Patsy was the Nashville Sound side of country---with plinking piano and background harmonies. Some even then thought it was taking country in a pop direction.

This is live.. in the early 60's.. has to be because she died in 1963 as far as I know. sound quality wasn't there like it is today.. didn't matter. her voice is stunning!!

She changed her hairstyle after the accident to cover the scar. She was very conscious of it even though it wasn't that bad. I met Loretta Lynn years ago at her ranch, and she talked about Patsy. It was amazing. Her voice never had the country twang like Loretta, but she was on the Grand Old Opry many times and was considered a country singer.

She became part of what was called the Nashville Sound back in the 50s. Where recording studios used more backup singers and string instruments like you hear on Sweet Dreams and She's Got You.

Dude, how does that thing flopping in front of your eye not drive you crazy? It’s driving ME crazy, and I’m on the other side of the screen. That said, thanks for the reaction.

You are listening to 1960's Patsy, in which her producer Owen Bradley was making all of her material more pop oriented in a style of music that became known as "The Nashville Sound." It was a hybrid of country and pop.

Patsy once joked she recorded "I Fall to Pieces" and then had her car accident. When "Crazy" came out, she said she hoped that wasn't a song to predict her future. It's possible that Patsy Cline was classified as a country singer because her records got most of their play on country radio stations.

You want to hear a more country sound? One of Patsy's earlier hits is "Lovesick Blues", and it is one of my favorites. Beautiful vocals.

'For a true perspective of Patsy, you should watch Loretta Lynn's "Coal Miner's Daughter." A large part of her career was around Patsy, the first half.

I love Patsy! This is one of her great “heartache” songs! At the time this was “Country and Western” She wasn’t hillbilly like Dolly or Loretta. She was on another level entirely. Try one of her Western songs THE WAYWARD WIND!

Now you should hear the stereo studio version, which is perfection compared to this poor quality live version. The technology was not as good for television at that time.😮😊!

There are different types of country music, it's a diverse genre

This is part of the same recording session as "Crazy" It's not a concert performance, but it is a live recording. The metal band around her head is a treatment from the recent car accident that nearly cost her her life. Sadly, she died a few years later in a plane crash.

Leavin' on Your Mind and You Belong To Me are two other great Patsy Cline songs.

The acceptance of the loss of a lover , what a great reason for song. The gorgeous little cry break in her voice and the tiny yodel at the end. Brandy Carlisleis a big fan and student of hers. This isn’t the studio recording,I don’t think. I have this album & cd but haven’t put them on in a while. It sounds a little different to me.

That's what they call THE NASHVILLE SOUND

So glad you are reacting to more Patsy!!! Love this song, and as others have suggested, “Walking After Midnight” is a great one to react to ❤. I hope you watch the movie based on her life; called “Sweet Dreams”

Sweet Dreams is an awesome movie. Jessica Lange does a great job capturing the essence of the real Patsy.

For something more country, check out Rose of San Antone!

great reaction man (BTW "country then" and "country now" is so evolved)and this is new times my friend.

Patsy has never felt country to me either. You're not alone.

Im so glad your finding out how great Patsy Cline is. Ive been a #1 fan since 1977 and there is so much sad things about Patsys life,she is hiding her scar from her car accident which almost killed her.She wanted to be country and loved singing country. Try reacting to "Come On In and Sit Right Down, Walking After Midnight, Three Cigaretts in The Ash Tray to get a good listen to her country side and Please Video clips, to appreciate Patsy you really need to see her. Her death was beyond horrible,there is a crash site in Tenn. that is heart breaking and the details even m ore horrible. They found her watch which stopped apon impact. She was a salty and fun woman and could cuss like any country man at the time.

Dean Martin/Sway.😮😊 Dean started out as one half of the comedy duo with Jerry Lewis. They made several movies together but broke up the duo in the early 1960's. Both performers had successful solo careers after their breakup with Dean seeking out more serious roles as an actor with several solo hits as a recording artist. Both were very good actors. The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast was a very successful TV show in the 1970's for Dean Martin with many episodes available for viewing on KZfaq.

You have to understand that back then music had 2 or 3 categories. There was country, big band or Motown (before it was called Motown.)This is my opinion only but I am a child of the ‘50’s, 60’s on up. My father was country all the way, my mother sang the big band type of song and my brothers woke me up to the initial sounds of rock & roll…The Big Bopper, Richie Valenz, Buddy Holly, Everly Brothers, Gene Pitney…all starting a new movement in music. Remember, Elvis Presley was banned on certain stages, could only be filmed from the waist up, etc. Everly Brothers were banned because of their hit song “Wake Up Little Suzie”. Bill Haley & The Comets right on the edge of “Rock & Roll. By mid to late ‘60’s the “California” surf’s up Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, singing about surfing and high school and being true to your school…fast cars etc. and then came the ‘70’s…Psychedelic, Drugs, Free Love, Peace, Flower Power. In order for these icons to break in to any genre, their songs had to be played on the radio, and since they were heavily monitored as well as the old payola, grease my palms (DJ’s that is)their music had to fit into a category. Remember why Motown and Barry Gordy, and Quincy Jones became popular! “Black Music” had no venue until those icons opened it up. Oh geez MMB, stop me before I blow up your utube channel! If you are really interested in all the breakthrough artists then open up some of the doors which were slammed shut by the Moral Majority, the Christian do-gooders, the Racists and do a shallow dive into The Righteous Brothers song “Rock & Roll Heaven” and then take those names that they are incorporated in the lyrics. All of whom died untimely deaths for an assortment of reasons…Otis Redding, Bobby Darin, Jim Croce (pronounced crocha) Janis Joplin, etc…look up those names and you will get a good idea of the very first icons and how their music opened minds and hearts! People please don’t hate on me for any of the politically incorrect phrases…it is quite simply the way things were back then! Sorry, I didn’t mean to write you a book, it’s just that things have to be put in the right context in order to “get it”…❤😊

definitely watch the movie!!!!

SHE WAS SO GREAT!!!! THANKS FOR THE REACTION DREW!!!! YOU SHOULD REALLY WATCH THE MOVIE SWEET DREAMS, IT WOULD EXPLAIN SO MUCH TO YOU. DOTTIE WEST WAS ANOTHER TRAILBLAZER FOR WOMEN IN COUNTRY MUSIC. SHE HAS A WONDERFUL CATALOG AS WELL....SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU DIVE INTO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF MUSIC....THANK YOU!!! FYI :It doesn't get more iconic than the Rat Pack-a.k.a. a group of performers that included Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop, and Peter Lawford.

You should hear the studio version of this

I Fall to Pieces is my favourite. If you want Patsy singing country try Lovesick Blues: you won't find more countrified than that.

God bless you. I love your channel and your reactions. Youre sich a chill cool dude. " Blue Moon of Kentucky " is a big country hit of hers. Its real upbeat and she shows her country chops. ✌️❤️ from Ky

Dean Martin was one of the “Rat Pack”

You should watch Cole miners daughter the movie as well as Sweet Dreams . She was an important person for women in music .

Pure beautiful voice

After she recovered from the car accident, she died in a plane crash, plane ran into a mountain 😢

You should do the country music series on pbs . I know it’s long , but it’s split up because it tells you how all of the musics developed through what people in what places .

Dean Martin , look into The Rat Pack . It’s an amazing rabbit hole !❤️

You should check out Walking After Midnight. It's one of my favorites by Patsy Cline.

❤❤❤

Walking after Midnight has always been my favorite.

I feel sometimes like the songs we call “country” now have very little in common with the country music of the old days. They seem miles apart.

lol yep that's a country song

Do Patsy Clines song.....If I could see the world through the eyes of a child......Her most beautiful song!!

This sounds live to me. It’s different from the recording. Still beautiful though. So good.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rdFkiNVz3tPGn3U.htmlsi=t2roqqgQlq-0w6cd This was done 3 weeks before Patsy's death Feb 1963

So nice.

Please do yourself a favor and watch dueling banjos . Not connected to this in any way . But you’ll love it

Pls look up some Deano.. Dean Martin.. was a great singer.. not Frankie but good..

Patsy to me is quintessential country music.. But she could cross over because this woman's voice was so amazing.. It's like Elvis.. could sing anything from Rock, Gospel, Country.. It's all about the amazing vocals.. but don't ever tell me this West Virginia girl raised eating squirrel most her life ain't Country. I feel like you're hating on country... Crazy was written by Willie.. come on.. that's country.

You have to listen to her Four Star recordings to get the more traditional country stuff. Today's country sure doesn't sound country. Very little fiddle and steel.

Studio version is better.
