About Pasty Cline
Patsy Cline was a pioneering American country music singer whose powerful voice and crossover appeal helped bridge country and pop in the 1950s and early 1960s.
Born in 1932, she began singing professionally as a teenager and gained national attention with her 1957 hit, 'Walkin’ After Midnight'. Cline’s rich tone and emotive delivery defined a string of chart-topping songs, including 'Crazy' and 'I Fall to Pieces', written by longtime collaborators Willie Nelson and Hank Cochran/Harlan Howar, respectively.
She was among the first country artists to break into the pop charts successfully, becoming a key figure in breaking genre boundaries.
Despite her tragically short life, with her death in a plane crash in 1963 at the age of 30, her influence has endured for generations, and in 1973, she became the first female solo artist inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
