Virginia Patterson Hensley, born in West Virginia in 1932, won an Authur Godfrey talent program in 1957 with the smash hit "I Go Walkin' After Midnight." And the rest, as they say, is history. She died in a plane crash at the age of 31 in Tennessee. The year I was born, 1961, and also 1962, she was the number one female artist in the nation! Though I didn't grow up listening to Pasty Cline, I still enjoy her work.



CRAZY

Crazy
I'm crazy for feelin so lonely
crazy
I'm crazy for feelin so blue

I knew
You'd love me as long as you wanted
and then someday
You'd leave me for someone new

Worry
Why do I let myself worry
Wondrin
What in the world did I do

Crazy
For thinkin that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for tryin
and crazy for cryin
and crazy for lovin you

How does she sing like that?!!
So resonant, deep and full. This song is lyrically and musically genius.
Where were you when you first heard this song?
