When it comes to country music, it would really be difficult not to consider that genre without thinking about Patsy Cline. She was a music legend, and her voice is one that still speaks out to us today.
Unfortunately, Patsy Cline was killed in a plane crash in 1963 as they were traveling in some very difficult conditions. The music world was absolutely shocked by the loss, and it is one that we still feel when we hear her music.
One singer who appreciates what Patsy Cline added to the music industry is LeAnn Rimes. Some have even said that her breakout hit, ‘Blue’ had originally been intended for Patsy Cline before the tragedy took place. Rimes was only 13 years old at the time when she recorded the song that started her career.
LeAnn Rimes had the privilege of being at the 2013 American Country Awards and she honored the legendary Patsy Cline with two of her classics. The producers of the video even gave a vintage touch to the performance, using a black and white filter that absolutely looked perfect.
As she sang the songs ‘Crazy’ and ‘Leavin’ On Your Mind’, she did the music justice but she also added a lot of emotion and her own style to the music.
