During her tragically brief lifetime, Patsy Cline won hard-fought acceptance as a country star when female headliners in the field were as rare as snow in July. Her later recordings crossed over from the country charts, racking up sales and radio airplay in the wider pop market. So it was an entire nation that mourned the tragedy when a plane crash on March 5, 1963, claimed her life and those of singers Cowboy Copas, Hawkshaw Hawkins, and her manager, Randy Hughes. Patsy was only 30 years old. Country fans will never forget her or the musical influence she left behind. Patsy Cline was inducted, ten years after her death, into the Country Music Hall of Fame and was the first female soloist ever inducted.
This February, the Loveless Cafe will celebrate the Music of Patsy Cline with a special playlist in the Cafe and exciting contests surrounding the artist. Stay tuned for more information and your chance to win!
