YouTube Gold: Patsy Cline Sings Crazy

Related Topics: Patsy Cline, Crazy, Willie Nelson

Patsy Cline was a phenomenal talent. She started recording in the mid-1950’s but it took some time for her to find her style - and when she did, immensely bad luck followed.

Walking After Midnight came out in 1957 but Cline didn't manage another big hit until 1961, when she recorded I Fall To Pieces, which was a smash.

After that, she had a very serious auto accident that nearly cost her her life. It was 1961 and seatbelts were not common yet, so she was tossed into the windshield.

After she recovered from that, she recorded the song she is most identified with, Crazy.
