Can we just pause for a brief moment to admire this man's smile?
😂
YES, YES, YES, I'M CAPTIVATED AND OBSESSED WITH HIM NOW, JUST ACCIDENTALLY DISCOVERED THIS!!!!
A loving friendly smile!
Don't forget his amazing 80's/90's Joe Lynn Turner hair style.
@@minbari73 honestly didn't notice his hair for a single second. That smile had me entirely mesmerized
The fiddle player in the band is my uncle, the great Grover “Shorty” Lavender.
That's awesome!
Oh wow! I'll bet he has/had some amazing stories!
Outstanding! Something to be proud of.
That is VERY cool!!!!
Respect
I know this was 4 years ago, but I'm here listening in 2024 and loving it! ❤️
I love the way that Fil so lovingly enjoys and appreciates the performers, across such a range of eras and genres. 🇦🇺
Watching his face is an education in and of itself!
Great music is great music. Great artists are great artists.
"A cry in her voice" is the most perfect description of Patsy I ever heard.
Yes it is.
That 'cry' of hers gets me every time regardless of how many times I hear her voice.
Yes!
It would be interesting to compare with Alma Cogan, "the girl with a laugh in her voice".
Well it is considered "Crying in your beer" type music. Hank Williams Sr. is a male example of having a "cry" in his voice when he wanted to.
Patsy Cline’s heartbreakingly beautiful voice has ironically brought more joy into my life than any other. May she eternally Rest In Peace.. BTW isn’t it time we acknowledge Fil for the genius he is.
Michael he is indeed a genius. lets acknowledge, thank you!
Teach is a genius. I concur...
Brotherrrrrr
Yup. He has a way of weaving a story around every artist and is able to explain techniques which are mesmerizing. And he has the nicest comments section on You Tube, which is a rare thing. But that is because he attracts people that appreciate that humanity. I watched another channel about a guy who is an amazing singer that also analyzes singers. I have watched only 3 of his videos and have only watched one all the way through. He has a way of belittling the musician as if to show that he is amazing. I am sure that they will bury him with his fan club, like they did with Buddy Rich.
Fil never makes the demonstrations about him, though he is more than competent to do that. Because the other performer is the subject of his videos. I think that more and more performers will see his abilities and follow the lead of Frank Marino and Janice Ian. That is if they are allowed to by their music contracts. The music industry is even worse than the sports industry. Where else can a slave master profit off of a slave even after their death? And then find a rock (Not a ROCK) and squeeze just another drop of blood.
See you at the next one...ROCK.
Lawrence. Best read on Fil I’ve yet heard. Totally agree with your excellent analysis of him. Fil is unfailingly respectful and generous to every artist.
Many thanks for sharing.
@@MichaelT199 yes. I watch Fil because it makes my heart sing that one young man is so excited and appreciative of decades of music and artists before his time. His enthusiasm is infectious. 💙☑️🎸
Willy Nelson wrote this song, but always said it was Patsy's song. Covered many times, never equaled.
Yes. And many times I have heard the story that Willie sold Patsy that song for enough money to purchase a bag of groceries! This song and "Walkin' After Midnight" are my favorite songs of hers (and I guess the most famous)!
Or as Willie wrote it "Stupid". Wise decision to change the main word.
@@jansmith6229 Wow. Stupid just wouldn't have done it, no! LOL
Go check out 16 year old Angelina Jordan. She more than equals it.
Leanne Rimes tried, but fell short!!
Love how she stands there with her hands behind her back, barely moving, and lets that phenomenal voice do all the work. Wow!!
I love singers like Patsy who can enunciate so clearly without losing any musicality.... you never lose a single word.
Karen Carpenter is another one.
Try singing extremely slow. This trains you to pronounce the words clearer and hit the tones better.
And Ella Fitzgerald.
SOS I can not sing... but listening I can do Phil l wtf......thanks..oh my
So true!
Just superb singing... No sparkly, cut-up-to-here costumes, overtly sexual moves or lyrics, no autotune, no lip-sync.
Genius.
The young guy's smile is so genuine.
I enjoy watching him enjoying the performer's music.
Fil's deep admiration and respect is so apparent when he reviews artists. He's first class and appreciated by us all.
The look on your face was priceless. Seeing someone young enjoy this incredible voice should be seen by everyone. The likes of Patsy will never be seen again
Angelina Jordan
Not only a young man but one from the UK! Her voice still touches the entire globe!
When seeing performers from back then, you notice they never had to strain to get their voice out.
no trolling or oohoohoohing or autotune...amazing
That is reason I prefer older music over the new stuff.
Plus they didn't purposely distort their voices to sound like a dozen other popular singers of the day. They just opened their mouths and sang in their own true wonderful voices.
@@jmar8507 You just hi the nail on the head. The were professionals and their own sound was "unique". When you heard a song come on the radio, you knew exactly who it was. Thank you @Judee Judee
Little Richard
strained🤷♀️.
So did Elvis.
It was part of their sound.
Patsy Cline’s voice was and still is untouchable! There’s never been another Patsy Cline. She just had a voice that captured you.
Also Anita Carter was and still is one of the best female singers.
I cannot agree more on your statement about Patsy Cline. She had a sound all her own and was years ahead of herself. Her voice or talent has never been equaled
NEVER EVER. IDGAF. Never.
@@paulf6855 yeah, no.
She has such a haunting voice. I love her Walking after Midnight. It is so beautiful and sad.
Patsy's vocals never fail to give me the chills. The emotion she emotes, cuts to the bone.
make an angel cry.
Yes, never fails to bring me to tears.
Patsy had one of those voices, you immediately know it’s her. She had such control, and beautiful tone. Thanks for posting this one ..
Notice the complete confidence Patsy exudes. As great as she was Patsy was underrated. She would have made a dynamite operatic Mezzo Soprano. It's such a pleasure that someone like yourself can truly see the artistic magic in Patsy Cline. She was one of a kind and will never be equaled and she sounds just as good live as she did on records.
Like so many entertainers, she left us too soon.
That "flip" is called having a tear in your voice in country music. A highly prized quality.
The set of Texas long horns and rifle over the fireplace could not be more quintessentially American. Patsy Cline is a national treasure. No voice like hers. Thank you Fil.
@Brad zybola You're not an idiot...it's a fair comparison to my mind!
@Brad zybola You're no idiot. It's fair to say.
@Brad zybola, can totally agree. Very different styles but unlike anyone before or after (though I will say Hank 3 can channel his grandfather eerily well).
I think this was for segment of the Grand Ole Opry's tv program in the 50s and 60s, it was a half hour I believe and showcased some of the best
maybell carter would be more aikin to hank sr.
The stillness of her body compared to body movement today is noted. The energy goes into the song. Rosemary Clooney was the same.
you are spot on with the cry.
Remarkably, she starts with her hands behind her back. Can't think of another singer that does this.
Peggy Lee, too!
Yes. Compare what you see on something like "The Voice" where the singers in the early stages are always moving with a bobbing movement that reminds me of boxers. You might know what I talking about, the constant dipping and bobbing to make their head a harder target for their opponent.
And for me its like, what has that to do with singing or music? Yet they all seem to do that.
@@tullochgorum6323 Art Garfunkel did that. Check out Simon and Garfunkel live at Central Park performing Bridge Over Troubled Water. I think his hands are behind his back and also in his pockets. Also The Bee Gees performing Too Much Heaven liveI think they have their hands in their jeans pockets...so chill, but not behind their back as you noticed.
Yes, Crazy. One woman, alone, standing at a mic, singing in front of a fireplace. Dang straight Crazy amazing. Thank the gods for these videos. May they live for eternity. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love this cchannel. You can see the admiration and respect this man has for the elders of his craft. Refreshing.
NO ONE could sell a song like Patsy. She made an emotional connection with EVERY song she sang.
Fil, that was awesome. Anyone can google Patsy’s life but the technical analysis of her voice that you just gave is golden. Thank you.
You can always tell when Fil is as star-struck as the rest of us. He just sits there silently and smiles.
I love every song that Patsy Cline sang. She was a true artist
Moreover, I'd say she was a SINCERELY expressive " VOICE".the artist comes often with pushing from the band and the stage producers ?
As with singers such as John Prine, directly from the heart, through the brain, and out the VOICE ? The audience can FEEL that.
No such thing as Pasty singing a bad song. She can make a 'not so great song', sound so great! Only Pasty, though!
As a novice, I’ve never heard such a great and effective explanation of this element of a singer’s voice control!
I was born and raised in Winchester Va. My Father was a good friend of Charlie Dick, Ginny's second husband. ( We all knew Patsy by her real name; Virginia Hensley) When I was about 5 or 6 Patsy and Charlie lived on Highland Ave in Winchester four houses down from The Highland Memorial Presbyterian Church that my family belonged to. Sometimes after church on Sundays, Dad would go to Charlies to visit for a while and I would set out on the porch swing with Patsy and drink lemonade and talk. On occasions she would sing to me to keep me company while Dad and Charlie " told each other lies" as Patsy liked to call it.One of these Sunday afternoons is most memorable as it ended with both Charlie and Patsy crying and screaming with joy, hugging my Dad and just generally goin nuts. I had no idea what was going on until the ride home.
My Father was a member of the local Amateur Radio Club He took part in a 10 Meter net on Sunday afternoons with dozens of other Ham radio enthusiasts, one of which was Arthur Godfrey of Arthur Godfrey's Amatuer Hour televised talent contest. When Charlie found out that Dad knew Godfrey he began driving my Dad crazy asking him to ask Godfrey to let Patsy try out for the show. Finally in the summer of 1957 Dad approached Godfrey about "a exceptionally talented young lady in our town named Virginia Hensley/ stage name Patsy Cline" Godfrey agreed to have her on the show and the rest is history. That's what all the excitement was about.
The next time I saw Patsy was around New Years day 1963. She and Charlie had come home from Nashville to visit some old friends and My Dad and I ran into them on Highland. Sadly two months later Patsy was gone.
WOW!! LOVE THIS!
that is an amazing story, thank you for sharing
My grandfather loved Patsy. He was an extra large man who worked a hard life and raised his 5 siblings and then a wife and children. He was a farmer but also carried extra jobs to support his family
That man had a set of lungs, though he never flaunted it. He was too busy working. When ever Patsy was performing on tv ,he would accompany her from his favorite chair, like he never did with any one else.. Perfectly. Deep base tones. Harmonizing. She was his goddess and he honored her
What a lovely memory….thank you.
Fil, from a guy knocking on the door of 70 years old, this song must be heard with a shot of whiskey, a cigarette and a tear in your eye. Just sayin'. ❤
She was like Karen Carpenter, just pure sweet singing. No one singing or gyrating behind her. Every time I hear "Sweet Dreams of You" it brings tears to my eyes. Thank you Phil, wonderful explanation. Crying in her voice was spot on.
oh karen carpenter - have you analyzed karen carpenter's singing?? it was so lovely
Have you heard Kate Wolf's voice...singer songwriter in 1979-80s
Classy Cynic yes id be interested in his comparing Patsy with Linda. She sang a cover of “Crazy.” And also with Karen. I’m not sure if she did any cover of Patsys hits but I’d be interested in hearing your assessment of the two in their similarities and differences. I have thoughts of my own on that. As well as on Linda versus Patsy. Obviously Patty was in a different era and really in a different genre of music but just in terms of their vocal technical skill and beauty of their tone.
Me too! Patsy’s “Sweet Dreams” stirs up such emotion. Tears every time.
Please don’t compare Karen Carpenter to this great artist
Ah Patsy...great song written by Willie Nelson...and Bless Patsy's heart. Greetings from Virginia, Miss Patsy's home state
Trisha Urvan Me too. When I moved here in 1986, first place I went was Winchester. Nice little PCline museum, her grave, her childhood homes. A small town girl with amazing voice.
@@rosezingleman5007 Been to all those places too. My friend actually went to her mama's house and met Patsy's mom. She would invite fans into the house, fix them food. He told me inside the house there was a mural going up the stairs that was so beautiful
Yeah she was from Winchester Virginia
Fantastic description of Patsy's voice. She was so effortless in her vocal delivery. Many have tried to replicate what came naturally to her. None can compare.
When my daughter cried as a baby, I could tell when she was in real pain (physical or emotional) when her cry went up in pitch and she added a bunch of vibrato. I always came running, so it was very effective. Patsy Cline’s voice grabs you like that. That warm caramel feel of her low notes, the break in her voice, just effortless and gorgeous with the Jordanaires and the swing of the band. Thank you for showing this.
Stunning voice, and unlike 90% of modern singers, no auto-tune needed...
Willie Nelson doesn't get enough credit for writing this perfect song.
Not sure Willie cares all that much about being credited. He knows he wrote it and Patsy's record made him a ton of money.
Willy Nelson also has a unique voice I love Willy’s voice and songs
Willie, Dolly Parton and Kris Kristofferson all are amazing songwriters who've never really gotten the credit they deserve.
Did he WOW
Wow, for a young man, you sure have great musical taste.
Great to see your appreciation ... thank you 🙏🏽 🎶
Ps. The Jordanaires backed up Elvis as well. They are awesome.
Patsy had her bad car crash not long before she performed this. She had a headband on to hide the scars that showed up because of the damage done to her face. Her voice is just as natural, good, and affective (I mean that as a verb) as Elivs' voice was. When she sings "Crazy", it still gives me chills.
One and only Patsy Cline. I Fall to Pieces and Sweet Dreams
'She's got you' is another favorite classic!
@Brad zybola Yep! American by birth and Southern by the grace of God :-)) How 'bout yourself, Brad?
@Brad zybola Sorry, unless you're in Austin, Texas, we can only have. " Sweet Dreams " about it. 😉
My Favourite "You belong to Me" . Yorkshire Hull .
The Deep Sea Fishermen thought they was Cowboys of the Sea back in the 60,s haydays .So Country was a favourite among the Fishermen .
My Dad a Skipper swapped Scottish Wiskey with Icelandic Gun boat Captains for Patsy Albums and Records from the American Airbase on Iceland .
Latest American Toys also for me .
I still have my Dad's collection .
@Brad zybola I love Fil's reactions specifically to ( why ) he likes them or ( why ) he sometimes feels like they're overated. He does his homework and it shows. Also being a musician himself gives him a great advantage
The vocal control has never been repeated... A legend, a lady, and sorely missed.
I never thought someone could make me understand and appreciate Patsy Cline's performance more than I did before.
Amazing isn't it
I am not British but I could see that you loved her your face glowed when she sang.
I was watching that as well and it was very endearing!
Fil always smiles like that. Hell, I could sing and he would smile.
This is proof of the phrase "like...but not the same." There have been many female vocalists who have tried to sing like Patsy, but they never are quite the same. That beautiful voice simply cannot be replicated or equaled. RIP Ma'am.
Patsy Sledd came close, but not quite.
I used to just cringe when people compared kd lang to patsy (lang included). Never, ever, ever. Lang has her own talent and tone, she is not at Patsy's level or technical singing ability.
I just learned more about singing in this one analysis, than I've heard in my entire life. Also, I don't know how popular she is/was in England, but here in the States, she's one of the few artists that's appreciated by every generation and music fan. Not even Sinatra or Elvis could do that.
This was made right after she got out of the hospital. She had head injuries that needed to be covered, thus the 80's looking head band. I'm not sure why they didn't just cover it with her bangs. Must have been really bad. Such a great singer. Gone way too soon. 😢❤
Once again, Fil nails it. He knows what he is talking about.
He is very very good. I love watching his videos.
When Patsy was singing all the other female country western stars were wearing sequins and over the top clothes. Patsy was very sophisticated with her looks and her voice. She was truly "different" and that voice....
You realise that Patsy's look was manufactured by her record company right? She actually wanted to wear fringe and a cowgirl hat to her first performance of Walking After Midnight and was asked to change and wear something more glamorous. Maybe you shouldn't be judging female country stars based on how they look and consider that there were so many talents at this time and they all struggled, having to deal with mindsets like yours. Focus on the music not on what they're wearing.
Also, Loretta Lynn was a rising star at this point too and she's one of country musics legends and has built a career fighting against the restrictions that country music had set her.
Her mother made her performance clothes and money was tight. She might have been flashier if the budget had been there.
I wasn't born yet, but to this day, nobody can sing like Patsy Cline. She was absolutely the best female vocalist of all time. Listen to sweet dreams. Hers is the voice of an angel.
I was born the year she released this.
She was the best for sure!
I’m glad somebody appreciates her. I was a heavy rock bass player, later a sound sound engineer - about as far from this genre as you can get. But once I heard her, she became one of my top five vocalist faves. How she ends each note is just magical. Every ending is a deliberate choice. Amount of vibrato, pitch, dynamics…
The cry in her voice has always touched my soul. Thank you for honoring her.
Patsy Cline is one of my absolute favorites. I remember my mom singing her while she cleaned around the house when I was little..nice memories. Honestly, my favorite part of this video was watching your face as you watched her perform...seeing that same enjoyment I have when I hear her, was beautiful.
Turtle Chelle: yes! I always watch Fil's face when he's listening. He's so connected to the performance.
Turtle Chelle Just found this video. My mother was also a Patsy Fan and listened to her music around the house when I was a kid. It's so sad watching this performance, having just recovered from her car accident, and knowing we would only have her for less than another 2 years. She died when I was 1, on my birthday.
Having heard this performance and the recording of the tune for radio play over the entire course of my life, all I can say is what an expressive voice and beautiful voice that the woman had!
@Brad zybola absolutely right, brother!
There never has been, nor will they ever be Another Patsy Cline.
Sheer Magic
Pure talent no bells and whistle solid vocal and to this day, no one can touch!!
Proving once again your love and respect for artists from other genres and other generations. Thanks for this Fil.
Can’t get much better than patsy cline in country music.
You don't need the last three words in that sentence.
She died WAY too young
Phil the look on your face resembles a child on Christmas morning.
I love watching him love watching stuff 😊
Tom, I thought it was just ME who saw that. OK I feel much better knowing someone else recognizes this. :)
Great music makes you smile and Fil knows this! ("When I see you smile, whoa-oh, whoa-oh!", as Bad English sang.)
That ‘LOOK’ is Exactly what I really ENJOY the most about Fil❣️⭐️❣️
@@Jeni-ow1kl Well, that and he knows music!
How can anyone not like Patsy Cline. One of the best. She left us much too early and as usual Fil is right on.
I recently heard the studio version of this song by Patsy Cline (not the live version) and decided it was on the short list of best-sung country songs I’d ever heard. After Fil’s brilliant, clear analysis and explanation here, I now understand WHY. Thanks, Fil.
Willie wrote it and Patsy was born to sing it! “Almost like a yodel” was great explanation, Fil. Loved it.
Connie Francis also had the ability to flip from chest to head singing and it does sound like a baby crying. I have heard it all my life and never had it explained the way you did. Kudos to you for breaking it down so clearly. It is a subtle quality that, as you said, connects with something primal in the listener and it evokes a sympathetic response even to the extent of wanting to cry. That is a valuable quality and I wonder if Patsy Cline and Connie Francis just discovered it in their voices or consciously tried to develop it. In any case it's a valuable tool to have.
i think a singer gets at least a start on achieving that quality simply by trying to "be" in the person and place the song is about, feeling it enough to convey it. in patsy's case, that quality was enhanced by great ear, technique, so she "sells" the song as sympathetic performers will, but is also a virtuosa, a sparkling voice magician, a treat for the ears and soul.
Rozey: Thank you for stating this. I was amazed by the the natural "magic?" as you put it that Patsy has doing this song. I don't know much about her but the simple way she adds the "complex" seems so easy and delightful. I don't know how else to say it. I also want to say (AR15 nut) I have been blown away by Connie Francis's voice as well. I am a "child of the 60's" - teeny bopper hippie back then - so neither of these women were of my time in particular. That said, Connie has brought me to tears, as an older adult, just hearing her sing "Where the Boys Are" 🙄 from the teen movie of same name. Her voice gives me chills, it's so exceptional. Anyway, thank you for bringing Connie's name into this, I don't hear people talk about her ever, and feel I "discovered" her - way after her "popular" days - all by myself. 😔🤭😄.
I liked some of her stuff but didnt care much for that crowd
Joni Mitchell does that too.
@@trinidadapodaca7027 Your loss...many fine people in "that crowd"...
When you listen to Patsey Cline you are listening to perfection.
Who disliked this?!! She had such a beautiful voice. 💓💓💓💓💓
Out of millions of singers over the years, Patsy Cline is truly one of the "giants" who laid the blueprints on how to do it right. As we approach the year 2020, there has never been another like her. In my humble opinion, there never will be. Miss Cline is the pioneering Queen of Country Pop and a legend in every sense of the word.
Fil, due to your vast knowledge, your approach, your personality and your undying passion for music, you have become the singular channel that I visit when I want to hear a discussion/analysis about music. You are in a class by yourself. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Right on brother, I just adore these 2 portrayals of Patsy in the Movies, aka Beverly D'Angelo in 'Coal Miner's Daughter', and Jessica Lange in 'Sweet Dreams'; apparently she was a wise-cracking, take-no-prisoners, fashion-stylish singer, and one hell of a personality.
Her voice actually makes me cry. It is that beautiful.
Patsy Cline was my mom's favorite singer ...she loved her so much she named me after her...
Fascinating explanation about the vocal cry. Linda Ronstadt has that too.
Hector's Mommy yes I think Linda had an amazing voice also And sung so many different genres well.
Love linda ronstadt!
Yeah, her voice is amazing, too. Anne Murray and Karen Carpenter do so as well.
@@BeardedBarley1 yes! Karen would have done so much more had she not died so sad
@@BeardedBarley1 i had a linda album with all old songs from 40s and 50s it was beautiful i forgot the name of it
I love Patsy. She is one of my favorites.
That cry must be why I love her, Chris Issak, Lee Glasson, Roy Orbison.
Yes I feel like her voice is the female equivalent of Roy's.
Dont forget about Eva Cassidy too!
Don't forget Johnny Ray.....talk about a cry in the voice!
I remember listening to her singing on the radio when I was a young boy and falling in love with it.
Cline was masterful at using her voice as an instrument to draw you in.. Fil makes a great point regarding the sound quality / mix of these early live TV recordings.. I'm 57 and began going to concerts in the mid-70s...I also remember seeing many bands perform live on television shows.. I actually preferred what we got back then, with all its imperfections, which I believe was a more true recording & live sound than what we hear today. There were no click-tracks, pitch finders, or the 101 electronic crutches to lean on back then when playing live.. Those early TV and concert performances showed just how incredibly well rehearsed & talented those artists & bands were to nail it the way they did..
Incredible and powerful voice. She had a short, rough life...the headband covers scars from a recent auto accident.
This video of Patsy singing "Crazy" still brings goosebumps and tears.
Yes it does.
I'm 74 and Patsy Cline has always amazed me with her vocals. I still get shivers up my spine when I hear her sing.
No apologies necessary for the "long explanation'"! Fascinating and spot-on! Thank you!
In fact, thank you for the long explanation.
She was one of those singer who could sing a dictionary and it would be amazing. 'sung with a little cry in her voice'. Country artists have been trying to recreate that sound since Patsy's day. No one ever came close since. One of Willie's best tunes.
Carl Swenson q
I have heard many ladies try to sing this particular song,none could ever come close to Patsy's voice!Very unique!
There is just nothing better than Patsy Cline, she was amazing. No auto tune, so many singers now can’t really sing, when you see them live, they are terrible.
This wasn't long after she was in a car accident, her little head band helped cover a scar on her face .
I'm glad you said that because I vaguely remembered it being there because her husband hit her. Glad I was wrong.
Car accident. Simple beer run
From that time she wore bangs. Big on looks Patsy was, nothing fake there.
See Canon Unfortunately she wore wigs after the accident.
This song, and "I Fall To Pieces" are my (97 year old) mother's favorites. Fantastic review, Fil! Cheers! :)
I love “I Fall to Pieces”!
And I don't blame her. Patsy was just amazing ❤️
My favorite!
@@oldermusiclover Good one also, ginny white! :)
@@oldermusiclover :)
She is an icon and was a hell of a performer. Willie wrote this song when he was still wearing a tie and sport coat. I think it is his finest composition.
She was absolutely amazing! Thanks for putting this up brother!
✌️😎🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
p.s. It doesn’t sound like most singers today…Thank goodness.
Talk about Janis, Adele, Winehouse, or others all you want. She was “it” and had “it” first. Gone too soon RIP.
Janis and Winehouse totally different genres, and yes, they had it. Brilliant singers and performers, both gone way too soon akin to Patsy. Adele? I do think she's got a great voice, but she doesn't do much for me.
Patsy is in another league entirely.
When Amy died, I looked up a video of hers. It was ethereal
They all had incredibly unique voices. Point is you will never confuse a single one of them for each other or anyone else. They deliver to different audiences and speak to those fans souls. Every one of them are the "it" to a different people. With that being said it's my personal opinion that Janis Joplin is it to my soul.
Janis had no real talent. She sounded constipated 😂
Janis Joplin has one of the most unique voices, as in her vocal cords were like two separate voices. I don't consider mastering a yodel or pitch unique. Insult all you like. Different tastes in music but Patsy Cline ain't shit to me. I don't care for her music at all. I think her voice is beautiful, but she sits down before Janis
Patsy lived 50 miles from me. I am old enough to remember the grief that her death caused, here locally.
Her singing always gives me cold chills. Best female voice ever!
Her voice, her tone, otherworldly!!
Who sings like that today? No one. Adele (who is a great singer) wishes she could sing like that. Another instance of serendipity in which the perfect singer meets the perfect song. No one will ever sing it like Patsy Cline. The break in her voice does illicit a response and now I know why. Thank you Professor.
Winter Lane
Why should they?
Patsy Cline sang like Patsy Cline. Adele sings like Adele and that’s the way it’s supposed to.
Winter Lane Agree Adele has a great voice. But I wonder for how long. I believe Adele is a smoker. As I stated in another comment, I think smoking destroys your voice.
@@ellenolenska9141 Whitney Houston and Judy Garland damaged their voices from smoking.
@@kasperkjrsgaard1447 Whitney Houston and Judy Garland damaged their voices from smoking.
Joseph Pearson
Judy and whitney were drug addicts. That’s what ruined their voices - and life.
Patsy Cline was only around for five or six years and she is a legend.
Patsy started singing professionally in 1955 at age 23. Her career lasted slightly less than 8 years.
This was after her terrible car accident. The headband covers up a scar.
This era of singers was the last od the great ones. They didn't need special effects to make them sound good. they had a natural voice.
You truly have studied Patsy, very astute. Patsy was a unique performer, we miss very much.
Lord i just realized...my cat has mastered the vocal fry when she wants in.
Your cat meows in HARMONICS? Brilliant cat.
Feline fry.
No one could touch her voice..she had the most distinctive pure vocals..thanks so much for reacting.
The recorded version of Patsy Cline's 'Crazy' and Hank Williams' 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry' are the consensus 2 greatest country songs of all time.
I agree!
I played and toured for years... I wish I had a nickel for every drunk that came up to me, or another band member, and asked if we'd let someone they knew sing... "I have a cousin that sounds JUST LIKE Patsy Cline"... "I know a gal that sings JUST LIKE Patsy Cline"...
After about 200 times of falling for that, we'd all just go "NOBODY sounds like Patsy", and walk away... Boy, THAT started it's fair share of fights, but at least we never had to struggle through featuring a "special guest" again.
Oh, yeah... Did I mention NOBODY sounds like Patsy?
I wish o had a dollar for everytime someone asked me to sing Patsy Cline. I'm a soprano! Only fell for that one time. Never again !!!
Spot on this comment
Yes her name in Mandy Barnett and she sounds exactly like Patsy!!
Nobody sounds "like" Patsy Cline, but there are others that have imitated and mastered her resonance and note flips. Check out Fil's analysis of kd Lang. You won't be disappointed.
@@nataliedeshow768 Couldn't agree with you more strongly. Mandy Barnett is, in my opinion, the only one who could even come close to matching Patsy Cline's voice.
