Patsy Cline (born Virginia Patterson Hensley; September 8, 1932 – March 5, 1963) was an American country music singer and part of the Nashville sound during the late 1950s and early 1960s.[4] She successfully crossed over to pop music and was one of the most influential, successful, and acclaimed vocalists of the 20th century.[5][6] She died at age 30 in the crash of a private airplane.
Cline was known for her rich tone, emotionally expressive and bold contralto voice,[7] and her role as a country music pioneer. She, along with Kitty Wells, helped to pave the way for women as headline performers in the genre.[8] She overcame poverty, a devastating automobile accident, and significant professional obstacles,[9] and she has been cited as an inspiration by Reba McEntire, LeAnn Rimes, and other singers in diverse styles.[10] Books, movies, documentaries, and stage plays document her life and career.
Her hits began in 1957 with Donn Hecht's and Alan Block's Walkin' After Midnight, Hank Cochran's and Harlan Howard's I Fall to Pieces, Hank Cochran's She's Got You, and Willie Nelson's Crazy, and ended in 1963 with Don Gibson's Sweet Dreams. She broke a record spending 251 weeks on country music charts in the United States.[4] Millions of her records have sold since her death. She won awards and accolades, causing many to view her as an icon at the level of Jim Reeves, Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley. She became the first female solo artist inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1973, ten years after her death. In 1999, she was voted number 11 on VH1's special The 100 Greatest Women in Rock and Roll.[11] In 2002, she was voted Number One on Country Music Television's The 40 Greatest Women of Country Music, and she was ranked 46th in the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time issue of Rolling Stone magazine. Her 1973 Country Music Hall of Fame plaque reads: Her heritage of timeless recordings is testimony to her artistic capacity.
Patsy Cline museum opens in Nashville
(25 Apr 2017) PATSY CLINE GETS OVERDUE HONOR IN NASHVILLE
One of country music's iconic vocalists Patsy Cline got a long overdue honor with the opening of a new museum.
The singer helped to define modern country music, with a style that crossed genres into pop, rock and country. Famous for songs like Crazy, Walkin' After Midnight and I Fall to Pieces, she died in a plane crash that cut her blossoming career short.
The new museum opened this month in April just above the Johnny Cash Museum in Nashville and features many items that have been in storage for decades, including many of her homemade dresses.
You have some like this where they store bought them and embellished them themselves with the rhinestones and various things, explained her daughter Julie Fudge. And then you have the ones that they made, that Patsy designed and then she and her mother would work together to make these.
Bill Miller, the museum's founder who also founded the Johnny Cash Museum, said her short career and the fact that her fame continued to grow after her death made it difficult to find all the pieces for a museum.
When you do a museum, your biggest fear is content, Miller said. And with an artist that passed away in 1963 that was a big fear, because at the time of her passing, Patsy wasn't a huge star. There weren't the legions of fans that were saving posters and memorabilia.
And I must say, had we not gotten this set up and you put this museum together, I am not sure where we would have these things today, Fudge said.
Her daughter said that her mother still has an impact on contemporary country music.
I guess you would attribute that to with the classic music, Fudge said of her reputation. It has a lot to do with Owen Bradley with the sound with the undated music.

Death Site of Hank Williams: My Emotional Pilgrimage to Oak Hill, WV.
This video, shot on May 9, 2018, shows the Skyline Drive-In, where Hank's driver, Charles Carr, first discovered that Hank was unresponsive. The video then travels up Legends Highway, named for Hank, en route to emergency medical treatment in nearby Oak Hill. We then turn onto Hank Williams, Sr. Memorial Highway, which takes us to the former site of Burdette's Pure Oil Filling Station, where police were summoned. We read an historical plaque honoring Hank, placed directly across the street from the filling station. The video then progresses to the hospital where Hank was rushed, then called Oak Hill Hospital, now called Plateau Medical Center. Across the street from the hospital, we see the former location of Tyree Funeral Home, where Hank's body was sent after the hospital pronounced him dead. Finally, we visit another historical monument next to the hospital detailing Hank's life and his final journey into Oak Hill, West Virginia. This trip was an emotional pilgrimage for me and a highly rewarding experience. I hope you'll join me on this adventure.
Further details about Hank's death are revealed in a fascinating article published by Tyree Funeral Home itself, which quotes original sources and eyewitnesses to the events surrounding Hank's death, including the funeral home's own participation in receiving and preparing the body for the arrival of Hank's mother from Montgomery, Alabama.

Harold Franklin Hawkins (December 22, 1921 – March 5, 1963), better known as Hawkshaw Hawkins, was an
American country music singer popular from the 1950s into the early 60s known for his rich, smooth vocals
and music drawn from blues, boogie and honky tonk. At 6 ft 5 inches tall, he had an imposing stage
presence, and he dressed more conservatively than some other male country singers. Hawkins died in the 1963
plane crash that also killed country stars Patsy Cline and Cowboy Copas. He was a member of the Grand Ole
Opry and was married to country star Jean Shepard.
Biography
Harold Hawkins was born on December 22, 1921 in Huntington, West Virginia. He gained his nickname as a boy
after helping a neighbor track down two missing fishing rods: the neighbor called him Hawkshaw after the
title character in the comic strip, Hawkshaw the Detective. He traded five trapped rabbits for his first
guitar, and performed on WCMI-AM in Ashland, Kentucky. At 16, he won a talent competition and a job on
WSAZ-AM in Huntington, where he formed Hawkshaw and Sherlock with Clarence Jack. They moved to WCHS-AM in
Charleston, West Virginia in the late 1930s. In 1940, at 19, he married Reva Mason Barbour, a 16-year-old
from Huntington.
During 1941, Hawkins traveled the United States with a musical revue. He entered the US Army in 1943 during
World War II, and served as an engineer stationed near Paris, Texas where he and friends performed at local
clubs. As a staff sergeant, he was stationed in France and fought in the Battle of the Bulge, winning four
battle stars during 15 months of combat. He was also stationed in Manila and performed there on the radio.
Postwar success
After he was discharged, Hawkins became a regular on WWVA Jamboree from 1945 to 1954 in Wheeling, West
Virginia. In 1948, he signed a recording contract with King Records in Cincinnati, Ohio. His first two
recordings with King, Pan American and Dog House Boogie, were top ten country hits. A minor hit, and
the song that become his signature tune, was The Sunny Side of the Mountain. Slow Poke, recorded in
1951, was another notable King recording. He stayed with the label until 1953.
In 1951, Hawkins and his wife adopted 4-year old [Susan Marlene]. They divorced in 1958, and Susan remained
with her adoptive mother.
Beginning in 1954, Hawkins was a regular performer on ABC Radio and TV's Ozark Jubilee in Springfield,
Missouri, where he met his second wife, Jean Shepard . After a few years with Columbia and RCA Records, he
joined the Grand Ole Opry and returned to King; and in 1962 he recorded his biggest hit, Lonesome 7-7203.
It first appeared on the Billboard country chart as a March 2, 1963 release, three days before Hawkins
died. The song was absent from the charts for the two weeks following his death, but re-appeared on March
23 and spent 25 weeks on the chart, four of them at No. 1, an accomplishment that eluded him in life.
Aircraft accident
On March 3, 1963, Hawkins, Patsy Cline and Cowboy Copas performed at a benefit concert at the Soldiers and
Sailors Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kansas for the family of disc jockey Cactus Jack Call, who had died
in January after an automobile accident. Among the performers was Billy Walker, who received an urgent
phone call and needed to return to Nashville immediately. Hawkins gave Walker his commercial airline ticket
and instead flew back in a private plane in Walker's place.
On March 5, Hawkins, Cline and Copas left for Nashville in a Piper Comanche piloted by Cline's manager (and
Copas' son-in-law), Randy Hughes. After stopping to refuel in Dyersburg, Tennessee, the craft took off at
6:07 p.m. CT. The plane flew into severe weather and crashed at 6:20 p.m. in a forest near Camden,
Tennessee, 90 miles from Nashville. There were no survivors. Fans around the world mourned the loss;
Hawkshaw was survived by his young son Donni, and his wife Jean Shepard was pregnant at the time with their
second son,Harold Franklin Hawkins II. Hawk Jr was born just one month after his father's death.
Hawkins was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens in Goodlettsville, Tennessee in Music Row with Copas
and other country music stars.
Legacy
The location of the airplane crash in the still-remote forest outside Camden is noted by a stone marker,
dedicated on July 6, 1996.
Hawkins is remembered in Love Never Dies on Martin Simpson's 2003 album, Righteousness and Humidity. In
the song, Simpson meets an old truck driver who used to play guitar: I gave old Hawkshaw a Gibson one
time, it was a J-200, man, such a sweet neck! And they say it stood up like a country grave marker, right
there in the middle of that plane wreck.
