Patsy Cline's hometown Winchester, VA is saturated with history

[@nomopayn]

Thanks for sharing this Tom Meros.. It was great. Only one thing I noticed was wrong is that Loretta Lynn didn't go to Kansas City for the benefit concert she was home in Nashville .. Dottie West was with Patsy in KC instead of Loretta.. I usually don't fawn-gush over any entertainers or celebrities, but I love Patsy Cline's voice and I am intrigued by her life story, and by all the accounts I have ever heard or read about her life..she was a rare gem.. A once in a lifetime singer and personality.. May you Rest In Peace Miss Patsy and Thanks for giving us a little bit of Heaven with that blessed lovely voice and with your love .. Gone way to soon, but she still lives thru her songs.. .

I love me some Patsy Cline and I love Winchester Va.... I visited there in Oct 2020. Gorgeous area ... I spent my teenage years right down the road in another beautiful little town ...Luray Virginia... very special area.

[@monicabradley932]

Ms. Patsy Cline will forever be the Greatest female vocal artist of all times. This is such a great video, so much history. Thanks for making her home town come alive, hopefully I'll get to visit one day. God Bless you and may Patsy rest in peace and her family be blessed by knowing how loved she still is to this day. 🙏#Patsyisqueenofcountry🎤🎶👏💗🙏

[@kmackety3346]

Absolutely the greatest singer of all times. My favorite since I was 14, I'm 73 now.

[@jantruitt9241]

This program is very very interesting, not just because of Patsy Cline, but because of all of the behind the scenes civil war history in the area! Thank you for the information.

[@vikkinicholson2300]

Patsy always looked older than her age. I was surprised to find out how young she was when she died. I had her pegged as about 10 years older. Her voice was rich and full for a young kid. RIP Patsy.

[@vickit.1797]

Not really! That style back then is a little old timey. The picture of her at 2:02 of her showing her pretty legs sure doesn't look old. I've seen lots of pictures online with better quality and she looked young her hairstyle yeah kind of old timing but her face look very young. Jessica Lange a real pretty actress played as her in the movie sweet dreams and Beverly D'Angelo a beautiful beautiful actress played her in the movie coal Miner's daughter. Anyway she had an awesome voice and it's sad she had the car wreck that left the scar on her forehead but even sadder that the plane crash killed her. I wish she could have done a lot more songs. 😢

[@gloriarider9688]

Thank you SO much Mr. Meros for the MOST awesome autobiography & tribute to the incomparable icon *"Patsy Cline!!"*

I love Patsy. I had all of her records.I cried when she died.😭💐🙏🇺🇸💝I was 13 yrs.old.Thank you for showing this.from Virginia

I moved there from Detroit back in 09 mind blowing seeing all the History

[@stephenfermoyle4578]

LOVE THIS you know i was just born a few years before she died and i love all kinds of music. growing up i never knew who Patsy Cline was. it was not until 1985 and the movie came out. Jessica Lange and Ed Harris and Anne W RIP helped me to discover Miss Cline. THE VOICE will never be duplicated NO ONE has had such an impact on gender equality...from what i have read she was the champion for women in music and crossed over into the pop charts. KD Lang idolized her....they both can sing like no one else. Thank you for giving us a look into her life.Miss Cline is still to this day a role model for all to follow your dreams!!! RIP Patsy Cline and the other people on the plane. i wish she had taken the ride from Dottie West and got to enjoy her DREAM HOUSE. '' I fall to pieces'' is so moving. Owen Bradley and the back up singers amazing. i used to drive everyone crazy by running around making everyone listen to Patsy...but it worked they all became big fans sorry i rambled on!! Thank you

[@vernareed5534]

Similar to the story of buddy holly & the others with him. Waylon jennings gave up his seat to another. Hate it so bad for all those who weree killed,both planes!! And dottie rambo(wrote between 2500-3000 songs) died in her bus wreck!

[@virginial.franco8450]

💯 ABSALUTELY!! ... Never forgotten.

[@mov1ngforward]

I was walking down Main Street in Pleasanton, CA, on a hot August night in 1989 with my aunt and uncle from San Francisco. The door to a bar was open and, "Crazy," was wafting out into the street. No one said a word and we all just crossed the street and went in. My uncle got sick and died the next February. I count that as one of my favorite memories. The entire weekend was wonderful but hearing Patsy's voice was something we all loved. ❣

[@baddgurrshine4481]

This was well done.. Rest on Mrs. Patsy 💜

At WINC, she recorded audition tapes, engineered by John Carl Morgan, who managed radio stations for the Lewis family. Mr. Morgan was the manager at WFVA Am & FM in Fredericksburg, Virginia in the Middle 60's. A delightful man and good "boss".

I lived in Annandale VA and used to drive out to Winchester all the time because it was such a beautiful town and wished I had grown up in such a place. Stopping at the Tastee Freeze for a hot fudge sundae was my favorite thing to do there and also looked for hot country boys too

[@aceball7076]

Great informative video on Patsy Cline. The song 'Crazy' was written/composed by Willie Nelson. He also has sung the song himself. I'm just mentioning this watching only 10 minutes of this. It was said Patsy Cline did the song one in 1 take in the recording studio. Anyone know if the Triangle Diner where she worked has ever re-opened?

[@kristatrenary]

Not as of 2020... doesn’t look good for 2021 either Sad It’s a great place to eat

[@melindawilliamson996]

Nope, still not open. We have lived here since 2004 and it hasn't been open since we have lived here.

[@pedmst]

Very well done. I appreciate what you said about the South and can't bury and pretend slavery and the reasons for Civil War never happened. What an historic city. Don't know when I have heard such a thorough documentary. Thank you very much much!

[@donaldewert2332]

@@bluesman7111 I just now noticed your comment. Penny came to Milwaukee a lot at to sing at clubs. I would usually go see her. We kept in touch threw the years. Penny called me a few months before she passed away. He have all of her recordings except her single, "Gotta stand Tall", I'll never Stop". She was great. I liked her singing with Porter better than Dolly's.

Awesome love it, shell always be my favorite !

[@fr.jimwatersfranciscanprie7187]

Wait.. Patsy was rejected by Winchester all her life. She grew up on the other side of the tracks. Alatw friend used to date her..then was close with she after they stopped dating. They all would go around to American Legion halls on weekends to sing.

[@zz424]

maybe she was only rejected by the snobs but who needs them? Look how good she did. I assume EVERYONE on the "other side of the tracts" were thrilled w her. Kinda like who cares if liberals don't like you the republicans will

[@Americanwoman74]

Winchester native here. Not true. My great aunt used to party with her at the rainbow inn. I'm a handley high graduate and so is my mom btw

[@kristatrenary]

Absolutely correct Until the Celebrating Patsy committee restored the house at 608 Kent in 2011 Winchester had nothing good to say about Patsy Lots of bad... wrong side of the tracks gossip Thank God that’s changing

[@countrydingess113]

You would think Patsy would have been smarter & knowing better than to get in a plane with a newly pilot. Who didn’t have very much flying time under there belt.... & should have known better than to fly in bad weather.... there’s a reason a lot of airports wait until weather clears up or the storms pass before allowing planes to fly .... It seems someone should have been there for Patsy, like a manager her husband, to tell her no & protect Patsy from making dangerous decisions,
