Book Description

To some it was that voice.

To others it was the songs she chose.

And to others it was the fairy tale way a small-town West Virginia girl made it big, and then tragically died so young in a plane crash.

Patsy Cline has been the subject of hit films (Sweet Dreams), Broadway plays (Always, Patsy Cline), and numerous biographies (Honky Tonk Angel). She still sells millions of records annually, even though she has been dead for more than 40 years. She was a star who left well before her time, in the same vein as Jimmy Dean, Hank Williams, Marilyn Monroe, and Elvis.

This book is a companion to an MCA CD tribute to Patsy Cline featuring performances of Cline's best-loved songs from current music superstars such as Reba McIntyre, Natalie Cole, Lee Ann Womack, Dianna Krall, Trisha Yearwood and others. In addition to quotes about Cline's influence on their careers from the artists participating in the record, it will contain reminiscenses from some of Cline's contemporaries such as Brenda Lee, Loretta Lynn, and Harold Bradley.

Remembering Patsy is the first collection of photographs of Patsy Cline ever released in a book.
