Publisher's Summary

Patsy Cline, the beloved country singer, soared from obscurity to worldwide fame before her life tragically ended at age 30. After breaking all the barriers in the Nashville boys' club of the music business in the 1950s, she brought the Nashville sound to the nation with her torch ballads and rockabilly tunes like "Walking After Midnight," "Crazy," and "I Fall to Pieces."   

Earthy, sexy, and vivacious, she has been the subject of a major movie and countless articles, and her albums are still among the top five best sellers for MCA almost 30 years after her death. In the end it is her music, a standard feature on jukeboxes from Seattle to Siberia, that prevails and keeps on keeping on.

Incredible details!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book! So many incredible details about her life & her career that were fantastic to hear. I always knew that the movie didn't do justice to her life & this book has convinced me. Loved it & would certainly recommend to anyone who is a Patsy fan or simply a fan of all the classic country music. Fun to hear their stories of travels, etc.
