FIRST TIME HEARING Patsy Cline - Crazy REACTION | Rere Reacts

[@richardvarnish8506]

Written by the great Willie Nelson.

[@chadblackburn6137]

WOW

[@franksullivan1873]

Willie has written a good many songs.

[@shannontaylor345]

And hes still alive and singing in his near 90s

[@vickit.1797]

we all know that cuz every time somebody sings this song the Willie Nelson trolls come out to say the same old stuff.

[@vickit.1797]

​@@shannontaylor345this is a reaction to Patsy Cline

[@Russ-gy7tx]

Rere, so glad you’re exploring these classics, Patsy Cline’s “Walking After Midnight” 1957 and “I Fall To Pieces” 1961 are two other songs to react to.

[@guestuser2373]

💯

[@george217]

And "Sweet Dreams" and "She's Got You" as well.

[@Russ-gy7tx]

@@george217 Yes, Yes!

[@george217]

The headband she wears in the video was to cover an injury that she received in the car wreck a couple of weeks before the performance. She died in a plane crash at 31 years old.

[@martinbynion1589]

Actually, she was 30.

[@george217]

@@martinbynion1589 She was indeed six months shy of her 31st birthday. I stand corrected...

[@JennyYearsley-g4d]

Magnificent voice!!

[@charlieturner1023]

Beautiful, haunting voice. Tragic loss.

[@kevincaulder96]

Patsy Cline set a standard for singers that country have never been able to meet. She died just as the British Invasion was taking hold of America and the World. Every woman in country music owes a debt of gratitude to her for the gracious, powerful way that she interpreted and delivered a song. SHE'S GOT YOU, I FALL TO PIECES, WALKING AFTER MIDNIGHT, and SO WRONG are great songs on her catalog. Listen to them all. Keep going and enjoy the music.

[@joannerichards1750]

Her broken ribs were sustained before the original studio recording of the song. This performance happened later. The delicate piano fills were by legendary session musician Floyd Cramer, who influenced generations of pianists with his "slip note" style. He later became a solo artist in his own right.

[@CFWhitman]

Yes, although the audio you hear in this version is actually the original studio recording of the song synced to a later live performance. Last I looked, you could dig around a bit on KZbin and find this video with the original audio. Being from a TV show, the original audio isn't as high quality as the studio recording for the single release that we heard here, but it's not terrible. The headband is something she started doing after her car accident to hide a scar on her forehead.

[@mattreynolds612]

63 years ago. Still hits!!! 🎯💯✌️☮️🕊️🩵

[@KevinWilliams-yj9nm]

Her voice is one in a billion. To say is was one in a million would mean there are 300 people in America who can sing like her. There are not.

[@wayne74745]

Linda Ronstadt" Blue Bayou "

[@charlesf2804]

Good old-fashioned countrypolitan. Great! "Walking after Midnight" has some bluesiness in it, not typical with country songs of the era. Perhaps try that one next.

[@phogandivephogandive3885]

Patsy was in a car wreck that gave her the broken ribs, her headband is also covering a large wound on her forehead from the same wreck.

[@scott3744]

This song was written by a man... goes by the name Willie Nelson. He has had an amazing career as a performer and songwriter himself... started in 1956, and he's still playing 👍 😎

[@michaelasay8587]

61 years ago?? Really??? Wild!!😢😮

[@scott3744]

@@michaelasay8587 If my mathulator is working correctly, he started 68 years ago. He's 91, but Wiki lists him as 'still active' 👍😁

[@laurathornton1456]

Willie has several sons, one of which, Lukas, sounds just like his dad. They've recorded a few things together.

[@TonyM1961]

Patsy Cline. One of the greatest female vocalists ever. Another one you would enjoy would be LeAnne Rhimes - Blue. Originally written for Patsy Cline, but she died in a plane crash before being able to record it. It then sat in the writer's filing cabinet for over 30 years because he didn't think anyone but Patsy could do it justice... until LeAnne came along. She recorded it at the tender age of 13 and it went straight to the top. Of course this was in the 90s so she's not a teen now, but the video shot for it was when she was only 14. There's a subtle homage to Patsy in that LeAnne and everyone are dressed in early 1960s attire and all vehicles are from the period so it's somewhat what Patsy might have looked like singing it had she lived

[@direcorbie]

Quite simply, the greatest country song of all time as sung by the greatest country singer of all time. Period.

[@karenpowell6063]

Patsy was her own genre , a unique vocal style that is rarely duplicated

[@sherigrow6480]

Her song, Sweet Dreams, is epic. But truly, all of her stuff is incomparable,

[@trentk268]

Patsy was a talented singer who was married to a songwriter who was also her manager. Willie Nelson wrote most of this song, but Patsy's husband did a lot to help with it. Patsy didn't like Willie or his music, but her hubby persuaded her to record it. He was right! This song cuts right into love and relationships and CRAZY. I think that this is a GREAT song, and Patsy was the perfect artist to sing it, God rest her soul. She was a torch singer in a time when that was almost obsolete.

[@willieb3765]

There's Patsy then there's everyone else. She could sing the phone book and make heartfelt. You mentioned the broken ribs - - she had been in a bad car wreck -- that head band is covering where her scalp was still healing

[@christopherrogers1598]

America has so many riches in talent. We are blessed.

[@timrickert2677]

I grew up in the 70s and 80s loving The Who, Aerosmith, Cheap Trick and Van Halen and this song is one of my all time favorites. And Patsy sings it perfectly!

[@Rayray-kj9cc]

My moms favorite! Been listening since I was born in 1971!! LOL So beautiful!!

[@Harry-Storm]

one of my 3 favourite female singers, along with Billie holiday and karen Carpenter.

[@sweetwilly]

Patsy is kind of her own genre.

[@karenpowell6063]

Patsy singing the gorgeous song Sweet Dreams. She recorded the song shortly before her death 🔥❤️

[@piedmontish]

Geez, she could sing!!!

[@EdBrown-fy1vk]

She was truly one of a kind . I would suggest "If You've Got Leavin On Your Mind" if you want to continue thru her amazing collection of gems.

[@leonardocartes1253]

This is such a great song. Her voice is amazing! Okay, since you mentioned jazz... as you no doubt know, there are several different styles of jazz, but, I would strongly recommend you checking out the Pat Metheny Group, the song First Circle for starters. I think it'll blow your mind. Greetings from California.

[@frankiebowie6174]

The hayseed Judy Garland. That’s what they called her, and that’s what she was. They both had the gift of reaching right down into your soul and pulling it all out for everyone to see.

[@alkholos]

That's funny. Judy Garland AKA Frances Gumm was also a hayseed whose amazing voice elevated her to heights she couldn't possibly conceive of. Patsy was indeed a unique talent.

[@donniethompson8312]

I love this song 😊

[@jeromejackson2018]

Jazz/big band: Glenn Miller, Dorsey Brothers, Buddy Rich, 1940s-50s many more

[@jrpearcey9352]

The beauty of some voices gives you respite from the cares of the day.

[@richtensail]

yes it is crazy!. new 2 patsy, shes got a gd voice, hldn vos notes srongly n lovley vibrato. impressive.

[@l.l4456]

Leavin On Your Mind is another great Patsy Cline classic. Not only was she the greatest Country singer, imo she is one of the greatest ever in any genre

[@ggwalker55]

Favorite female voice. Power and pain. Loft and lilt. Amazing emotive.

[@glennspreeman1634]

B best pipes ever! A real breakthrough artist!!

[@kevincaulder96]

You might also also take note of LeAnn Rimes. She is a young singer who, in the 1990's shot to fame on the v strength of her single BLUE. Her voice at that time was very reminiscent of Patsy Cline. She was raised on her music, the uncanny resemblance in the two voices. I don't have any jazz for you, but I do have Etta James. And I promise you will absolutely live her recordings. Here are a few to get you started. ALL I COULD DO IS CRY, SPOONFUL, SUNDAY KIND OF LOVE, and of course, her signature song AT LAST. Keep going

[@13terapyn]

"Billie Holiday: Fine And Mellow (1957)" Jazz? It does not get any better than this

[@VIDSTORAGE]

She hit it big with this song after many years of performing and died in a plane crash in 1963 at the age of 30.....Jazz albums I recommend Dave Brubeck Time Out / Miles Davis Blue / John Coltrane Blue Train

[@sligon00]

Ms. Cline is known as a Country Western singer, but you are right about the production having elements of jazz in it. That song could be sung by any singer with talent and strong heart-felt feelings , I believe ; and I absolutely love her voice and presentation...

[@chipurBillWhite]

You belong on the air, Rere. I mean, great taste, beautiful voice, intelligent, enthusiastic, pleasant as hell - the package. I always enjoy your reactions.

[@kathylee1261]

Look up Gregory Porter particularly’Hey, Laura’ and Leon Bridges ‘River’

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction, Rere! Patsy had such an amazing voice. Another fantastic talent gone way before her time. You may want to check out Post Modern Jukebox for some jazz. They take modern songs and rearrange the music to a 1940s or 1950s style. They have lots of jazz in their catalog.

[@loveloochay]

🎼🎀🎀🎀🎼 .. you are finding some real gems , ReRe. This is such a famous song , and if you dig a little deeper you will see that is was written by a young Willie Nelson. I hope you discover Willie's music also. Willie is a Country Music legend and has a long list of songs. Willie has some rocking songs but some of his softer ones are "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain" and "Stardust". Enjoy ... keep the great songs coming. 👏👏👏👏👏🇺🇲

[@RegenaCox-yy1rl]

Patsy Cline had a very bad car wreck were someone t- boned her side of the car, and almost killed her. That's the reason she had broken ribs and the band on her head. She died in a plane crash years later. Next try her song Sweet Dreams.

[@davidwhitley1545]

See her, "He called me Baby", "She's got you", "I fall to Pieces", "Lonely Street", "Sweet Dreams", pretty much anything she did . . .

[@veronicamorgan9029]

Such a voice!❤

[@IAMCAVE]

LeAnne Rimes sings a song that was written for Patsy it’s called “Blue”. LeAnne was 16 when she did it.

[@MDElam]

Patsy Cline is one of a handful of great songs by top-tier female vocalists. "I Fall to Pieces" is definitely worth the time. In a somewhat different vein, you may like The Andrews Sisters--"Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy." And moving a bit further out, if you already haven't try Joni Mitchell's "Help Me." Appreciate your thoughtfulness!

[@aliceharper707]

I love this song. I was 7 years old in 1961.

[@angieday5183]

One of the greatest singers of all time

[@maajorkv]

A sad, beautiful song.

[@francinefernandes2007]

Sarah Vaughan, Billie Haliday, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong are some jazz greats

[@trentk268]

In1961 country music was relegated to little bitty radio stations with pudgy guys in overalls, harmonicas, and washboards. Willie Nelson later worked out of a bunch of personal problems to turn it into an art form, as well as Johnny Cash, Glenn Campbell, and many more . Top 40 radio in those days was diverse and we were lucky enough to this get this music, rock, R&B, soul, and a whole bunch more on transistor radios that cost about 5 bucks. Patsy, Willie, and a whole bunch more fit this into the American mosaic of popular music. It's got a little of everyone's joy and regrets.

[@larryfox79]

Willie Nelson’s Masterpiece

[@Rick-or2kq]

When Loretta Lynn was starting out in the business Patsy Cline took her under wing and helped her navigate the business of music.

Patsy was One of a Kind !!!!

when you can , react to Skeeter Davis - The end of the world . ( audio version ) 😎👍

[@clay-tw5gc]

When I was still working back in the 90s (which was 30 years later), I listened to Patsy Cline recordings and this song in particular a lot when I was working. She had an awesome voice. As for jazz, Thelonious Monk was in a jazz genre all his own. I love his style.

[@allengray5748]

Part II 😁 OH YA!! Listening to your outro,, you will LOVE the Carpenters, THIS MASQUERADE 💕💖 George Benson is a Jazz guitar player/ singer and also a Jazzy slow rock tune by Bachman Turner Overdrive called; LOOKING OUT FOR NUMBER ONE! ☮️

[@carloscastro9138]

This song is an American Masterpiece !!! raw talent and the technology then was limited and just look at the results !!!

[@tonygumbrell22]

I turned 16 in 1961 so I can remember this one from the first time around. It evokes an era, a time, and a place in America. Ordinary people scraped by, but there was hope and a lot of good entertainment, music, movies, and sports that was affordable and available. Life could be a struggle, but worth living.

Ouch...1961 doesn't feel all that long ago to me lol. Yes, Patsy was one of a kind!

Stunning.

[@robertgieseler1220]

Patsy Cline is a legend -- which I only learned here on KZbin, and which is even more incredible when considering that she only lived to be 30 years old (which I again just learned from one of the comments to your reaction). You are wonderfully empathetic. It is just a delight to watch and listen to your reactions. Love from Germany

[@kenpatton8761]

The harmonizing group are The Jordanaires. They performed on a lot of songs back in the 50’s and 60’s. Elvis used them a lot. Cheers

[@pamagnolia]

Beautiful. I was eight when this came out 😅

[@raycope2086]

Patsy had a sister called Dee, who always refused interviews.

[@49richard]

Also one true fact about that recording is that in her car accident she was cut from ear to ear and she had many many sutures points so she had to hide it under the band on her front and you can still see the reaction on her eyes lids! My faverite singer! ( I hope I make sens cause I am french speaking from Quebec)

Great song!

Sure brings back the memories.

[@larrybrown8180]

Check out The Doobie Brothers, "Livin' on the Fault Line."

[@P-M-869]

The hair ban is to cover a scare. Probably from the accident where she broke her ribs. Another great Patsy song is "She's got You". I like her version of "The Tennessee Waltz".

[@deepfriedscotsman2860]

Here is another singer you might want to listen to called ( Wanda Jackson ) she was a friend of Elvis

[@localnetsolutions]

One of the greatest country singers ever. If you want to do a Jazz singer you might try listening to Angelina Jordan she is 18 years old and started singing jazz at about 6 or 7.

[@AlfaMadDog11]

ok, i',m subbing and notifying. I could recommend loads of tracks, might do later 😅.. great reaction vids, TY!

Patsy Cline - Walkin’ After Midnight

[@scottski51]

I would also nominate "Sweet Dreams" tho it's Most Beautiful in the movie of the same name as acted by Jessica Lange (but the version is pure Patsy).

[@keithjohnson8866]

This song was written by Willie Nelson who is an icon in American country music. There is a movie from the late 70's called a Coal Miners Daughter. It is about Loretta Lynn but they were friends so you learn a bit about Patsy. I would recommend searching KZbin for The Highway men. It is a super group made up of Willie Nelson, Waylin Jennings, Kris Kristofferson (who die last week), and Johnny cash. They did a show back in the 90's which really demonstrated their hits and abilities.

[@Blasserman]

Great reaction as usual. You're doing everything right. and I might have a thing for the English accent, but I think you should have more people following you! Great job keep it up.
