Willie Nelson wrote Crazy before he became famous. He had a hard time getting anyone to be interested in it because its chord structure was more complicated than most country music of that time. Patsy Cline agreed to record it after someone demoed the song for her producer. It became a hit on the country and pop charts, and eventually became the all-time #1 song played on jukeboxes in the U.S.

I was eating lunch at the original Threadgill's, an eatery in Austin where Janice Joplin used to perform, and Willie Nelson came in for lunch. In Austin before the tech boom, you couldn't swing a cat without hitting a famous musician. I was at the bar at the Continental, and three feet away, is Robert Plant. What a town for music. Willie writes great songs and this one is CRAZY good, and Patsy made it live forever.

There were two movies that featured Patsy Cline as a character, "Coal Miner's Daughter", a biopic of country music star Loretta Lynn. Patsy was played by Beverly D'Angelo. Patsy was a friend and mentor early in Loretta's career. The other was "Sweet Dreams", the story of Patsy's career and relationships with both of her husbands (her first husband was Gerald Cline, her second Charlie Dick). Patsy was played by Jessica Lange who was nominated for a 1986 Oscar for her role. Both movies depicted Patsy as a tough, no-nonsense, but also fun-loving person who had a dream and set out to achieve her goals. I recommend both movies, but Beverly D'Angelo's performance best captured the essence of Patsy's character (according to Loretta Lynn).

"Tennessee Waltz" (1950) sung by Patti Page is another legendary country song that you need to hear. It is one of the official songs of the state of Tennessee. Patti Page's recording of it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1996. A multimillion seller back when records were being sold, it peaked at the No.1 spot on the Billboard Best Selling Pop Singles chart. (and it tells quite a story)

Pasty Cline was a true contralto. Other modern singers in her league are Karen Carpenter, Bobbi Gentry, Cher, Annie Lennox, K. D. Lang, Amy Winehouse and Angelina Jordan, just to name a few. They all have amazing smooth vocal tones and powerful runs. I think of female contraltos as the equivalent to the male "crooner" voice.

I was watching the patsy cline ‘crazy’ video. If you like Patsy you will love LeAnn Rimes video “Blue”. It was written for Patsy but she died in a plane crash before she could record it. The guy who wrote it saw LeAnn Rimes singing the American national anthem 30 years later and gave it to her to record because she was known as the new patsy cline. She was 13 or 14 when she recorded it and she won a Grammy for best song and best new recording artist. It’s amazing. Also she sings a Ukrainian Christmas song that I never heard before called “Carol of the bells” was composed 110 years ago. A timeless song. Also Canada has some fantastic musical artists. I know you have done Joni Mitchell. Google Bryan Adams and Shania Twain, Michael Bublé, Sarah McLachlan, k.d. lang- her rendition of Leonard Cohen’s HALLELUJAH is amazing. My husband and I were hippies in the 70’s now we are old hippies I still wear my Tie-Dye t-shirts. Make Love not war was and still is our moto. 🇨🇦 from Canada with love and peace.🇨🇦

Sometimes 3 things come together. The song, the performer, and the performance. In this case the song was the work of Willie Nelson. The performer was the legendary Patsy Cline. And the musical arrangement is perfect for the song and the performer. I like the one line of the song "And I'm crazy for loving you". I wonder if the woman in the song knew going into the relationship that she was crazy for loving this person and had some idea right from the start that it was a crazy thing to do. You know how love can make a person do something that their head tells them is a bad idea. But then I guess falling in love is always a crazy thing to do. My mom used to say "it takes two to tango". How true.

Hello, this was a lovely reaction to Crazy. Another singer gone too soon by tragedy. Patsy was an influence to many future Country singers. This and your previous reaction to Joni’s River has inspired me to make a reaction request. I also see you have reacted to Carpenters but I don’t see the song I’m going to request. It’s a cover, so I’d advise for appreciation of the cover maybe take a watch or listen to the original. I’m going to introduce you to a new singer. She’s a 20 year old American. She sings the songs of my youth, songs from the 60-80’s. She sings current songs also, her originals or full covers. I’m going to include to shorts as appetizers, if you will. No spoilers just something to watch to understand. That she’s NOT known for either short. I’ll link the two shorts and the actual reaction request and go buy the request and refer to this message. Talking about relationships is appropriate for the actual reaction video I’m linking. It was the Wedding Song of the 1970’s. So I’ll give you another opportunity to talk about life. Here;so the list, two to enjoy and the last one to react to. Let’s start with her short cover of Crazy: kzbin.info-EzpBGRl2Bw?si=GOzBRTFIaDeqYIF4 Next her short cover of River: kzbin.infoa2w7XT02xsc?si=K8YVJGne_VBvsVVN Now we get to the bread and butter. This song is a cover of We’ve Only Just Begun, by Carpenters. This one was released this past March 2nd on Karen’s birthday, in her honor. It is a creation of James Wilkas and features Tori Holub (Ha Lubb) on lead and backing vocals. Like I said earlier, to really appreciate what they did here it would be advised to take a listen to the original. As that’s 54 years old, not much of a spoiler. Just a preparation for what you are about to see and hear. THIS is what Tori is known for: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGqYnZmAptRsjLssi=XTGFuHmTSjBeHAAg At the end of this video is a full credit list and you may want to note what was done here. I can say there was no pitch correction or autotune as verified by your fellow countryman Fil from Wings of Pegasus. In March he did two episodes on Tori. I hope you both enjoy this!
