Patsy Cline ruled/s.

[LaraMN]

and with that, I will go do my homework...

[libnnc]

1. She was a goddess among women.

"Get It Over" makes me cry everytime I hear it.

[BikeWriter]

2. Agreed. Her range and projection were awesome!

[LaraMN]

8. No kidding! I keep trying to sing along, and I do alright for awhile

and then I get to the point where I can't.quite.do it. and I'm wincing and squeaking, and I just have to stop.:rofl:

[BikeWriter]

9. Don't feel bashful, Sweety. There have been few who could match her!

[SeattleGirl]

3. I love Patsy. She had the most incredible voice!

Several musician/singer friends of mine, who don't like country music AT ALL, will listen to Patsy because they can appreciate the quality of her voice.

[u4ic]

12. I am just like your friends

dislike country music intensely, but looooove Patsy! :loveya:

[blue neen]

4. She probably had the best voice I've ever heard,

male or female. She's sooooooooo easy to listen to. :)

[LaraMN]

11. I think she could have made just about anything sound good.

Well, maybe not rap, but still...

[Ptah]

5. She's burning here, in my house:

hot stuff

[AussieDave]

6. A beautiful lady with a voice that will never die

She died too soon - and can whup the ass of many of today's "singers".

[Whoa_Nelly]

7. Love my Patsy Cline's Greatest Hits CD

Yeah..it's all good!


(First recorded by Patsy Cline November 8, 1956.
Also recorded August 25, 1961.)

I go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the moonlight
Just like we used to do
I'm always walkin' after midnight searchin' for you

I walk for miles along the highway
Well, that's just my way
Of sayin' I love you
I'm always walkin' after midnight, searchin' for you

CHORUS:
I stop to see a weepin' willow
Cryin' on his pillow
Maybe he's cryin' for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds whisper to me
I'm lonesome as I can be

I go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the moonlight*
Just hopin' you may be
Somewhere a-walkin' after midnight, searchin' for me

10. fact

she was in a class by herself

Floyd Cramer was pretty damned hot too.

[Skittles]

13. I remember an old boyfriend saying his dad was in love with Patsy Cline

I said, "Everyone's dad was in love with Patsy Cline." :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. Sigh...my 35 year old husband is in love with Patsy Cline. Actually, her

music reminds me of the sweetest time of my life. MrG and I, newly reacquainted, on rides. I'd sing along (poorly) he would drive, and love was found again. :)

15. The house band at the Grand Ole Opry caught fire every time

Cline was on stage. She was purported to be their all-time favorite singer. She would push the band and they'd push her right back. She could jump off a (musical) cliff and the band would be right with her--then everybody would float to a soft landing. It was that mutual respect and daring that great Musicians have for each other.

But the greatest thing about Patsy Cline was her attitude. She was going to do it Her Way, thank you very much. She opened the door for people like Janis Joplin and Grace Slick.

I :loveya: Me Some Cline!

dbt
Remember New Orleans

[DanCa]

16. I know the name but I am blanking on her songs.

Can you help jog my memory and list some of them? I havent had my shot of caffine yet.

[FredScuttle]

19. Crazy

Walkin' After Midnight
I Fall To Pieces
Back in Baby's Arms
Sweet Dreams

and my favorite Patsy Cline song:

She's Got You

[MissMillie]

17. It's all about tone.... clear, rich. flawless

yep...

[LaraMN]

18. Definitely a rare talent.

I love deeper- pitched women's voices, and hers just has such a clarity and depth...

[mvd]

20. Indeed

It's so sad that she died young.
