This song was in fact written for Patsy who unfortunately died before she could record it. Thirty years later, the writer heard Leann sing and sent her the song to record. She was only 13, I believe, and she nailed it! It was her first hit!
You are correct !!! She WAS only 13 (was born in 1982, this song was released in 1996) and strangely/sadly enough, she was heavily bullied in school for "wanting to be a singer" ... her peers didn't think she'd be any good.
That's jealousy talking if they didn't think she'd be a singer. I saw her on that singing show for kids when she was very young, and she won it! She has so much talent, and did from an early age. @@StevesFunhouse
This story was told in the promotional material for this song, but it's only something like what actually happened. Bill Mack wrote and recorded the song himself in 1956, but when it was released in 1958 it was only a regional hit for him (note this was still four or five years before Patsy's death). A friend of his, also in the music business, was convinced that the song had hit potential and eventually suggested he pitch it to Patsy Cline. He had a female singer record a demo of it and sent the song to Patsy's husband/manager along with other material, but before Patsy could hear the song and decide whether to record it, she was killed. After that, he or his producer offered the song to other people at times, and it was recorded by Kenny Roberts (who added the yodel) in 1966, Roy Drusky sometime in the late 60s or early 70s, Polly Stephens Exley in the late 80s (who added a verse that was included in later versions), and Kathryn Pitt in 1993. However, none of these versions became a bona fide hit. He did offer it to LeAnn after hearing her sing of course.
@@staciemoisa4884Oh (1st sentence), most definitely, and what I was referring to !!! However, I don't recall if I knew she had participated in a singing show before that, cause I'm just pulling from my memory and that may not've been common knowledge or even explained back when I learned the history about her struggles.
@@StarGeezerTim I didn't write head voice because a lot of people don't know what that is because they are dumped down from all these singer shows on TV who constantly use the word falsetto for male and femal. It's also singing with thin vocal cords. On TV shows like The voice they always say falsetto for men and women and that's what non-singers know. Falsetto for men, head voice for women. A mix voice is combining chest and head voice. Distortion, singing with upper vocal cords. It's also when a female singer flips from her chest voice to her head voice or sometimes using even a mixed voice
@@StarGeezerTim I know it's called a head voice but all these idiots that watch The voice, American idol and all these other singing shows are all brainwashed with falsetto. A guy it's a falsetto on a woman it's a head voice or false vocal cord or singing with thin vocal cord. I know my vocals I was just dumbing it down for dumb America who watches singing competition
She released an album that contained covers of popular songs that she did between 10 and 11 including "I Will Always Love You" & "Unchained Melody" that I know you two will love. Originally, her version of "How Do I Live" was supposed to be on the "Con Air" soundtrack, but for some strange reasons, the "suits" didn't think that a 14 year old can sing it with the proper emotion, so they had Trisha Yearwood (she killed it too btw) record and that version played most on country stations, but LeAnn got the last laugh, as her version stayed on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart for more than a year, which was a record at that time. In 2010, there's a video on here singing with the Gay Men's Chorus of LA around Christmas doing a beautiful cover of Bette Midler's "The Rose" that will bring a tear to your eye.
You hit the nail on the head with everything you said . Leann's vocal is part of an elite class of unique singers. Your comments deserve praise, glad you watched this video. Not sure if you ever covered these singers. Roy Orbison "Blue angel" Jay and the Americans " Cara Mia" Gene Pitney " Every breath i take" Freddie and the dreamers "I understand" all from the 60's . Burton Cummings "Stand tall" Rubettes "Sugar baby love" Paper lace "The Night Chicago died" from the 70's. Gary O "Call of the wild" Bette Midler " The Rose" Aha "Take on me" Robert Plant " The way i feel" from the 80's. All great vocals but lesser known. For some reason their vocal was not exploited more.
I first saw Leann Rimes in concert at Stabler Arena in Bethlehem PA the week she signed her first record contract. She was opening for Merle Haggard. When she sang her first few words, I turned to my wife and said, " she's going to be a big star."
Contrary to popular belief, Bill Mack didn't have anyone in mind, when he wrote this song. After it was completed, he did offer it to Patsy Cline. But, he didn't write it specifically for her. He was well past his days of writing and pitching songs to artist. But, LeAnn Rimes' father had heard a version of the song, and thought it would be good for his young daughter. Rimes first recorded it when she was 11 years old, for an independent label that her father had access to. Then, two years later, she re:recorded it for her first studio album.
That's right, Bill Mack said of all the songs he wrote he never wrote one specifically for an artist. Also the claim that Patsy died before she had a chance to record it is a little far-fetched since she died in 1963 but the song was written 5 years before in 1958.
Yes, you are correct, she had recorded it earlier when she was 11 and released it on her own independent label. Then when she was signed by Curb Records, they used the original track and re-mixed and remastered it for national release (She may have re-sung the vocal, I'm not sure). The song was written by a popular local Dallas-Fort Worth DJ named Bill Mack (He used to broadcast his own show on WBAP radio called "The Bill Mack Open Road Show" starting at midnight every night) He had apparently pitched "Blue" to Patsy Cline but she died. Bill had recorded the dong himself in 1958 and it was covered a couple more times by other artists (Kenny Roberts in 1966, Polly Stephens Exley in the late 1980s and Kathryn Pitt in 1993) it was finally given to Leann. By the way, in that music video the man sitting next to her in the studio wearing the ball cap is her father, Wilbur Rimes. He was the producer on the record. Incidentally, he produced another Dallas based singer shortly afterwards named Steve Holy who use to sing with Leann on many local shows in the DFW area before she became famous. Namely, The Johnny High Country Review in Arlington, Texas where they were both regular performers. Wilbur Rimes produced Steve Holy's first number one hit, "Good Morning Beautiful". (There were several new talented singers around the Dallas-Ft Worth area during that time.)
She did re-record this for Curb, and as a thirteen-year-old she got the lyric "those sweet words you whispered" correct. However, the version released ended up being her recording at eleven (where she sang "weak" instead of "sweet"), which was apparently due to some sort of mix-up rather than a decision to release the older recording (though that's hard to say for certain). After that, she ended up singing the mistaken word at concerts (and of course her lip syncing in the video) to match the released recording, even though she of course knew what the lyric was supposed to be.
She has a phenomenal voice. It is really highlighted in her version of Unchained Melody. She was 15 when she recorded that version. Definitely worth a listen.
Leann Rimes started singing when she was 18 Months old and has continued ever since !!!!!!! She won the Ed McMann Star Search program when she was 8 years old and hasn't stopped since .
Leann Rimes, Tanya Tucker, and Etta James all hit their singing prime so young and went on to great careers, though in different types of music. If you haven't checked out Tanya or Etta when they first started, you should.
There was a 40 year gap between the two. Patsy left her legacy in the hands of Loretta Lynn, one of her friends/fans and member of the rock hall of fame. Leann was one of those kids that show up on day time tv that can sing. At first she was a novelty.
Hi Guys, great video. Leann Rimes blew me away with those vocals when I first heard it. I didn't believe her age, as it seemed far too mature. Leann still amazes me, and please, more from her. Another young singer with adult properties in her voice is Helen Shapiro, singing Walking back to Happiness from 1961. She had a great quality as a young singer, and I believe she is still singing today. Keep up the great reactions
Another very young (teenage) singer with a very strong mature voice was Brenda Lee, she was very, very popular in the 60s, and continues to sing today. she had 47 US chart hits during the 1960s and is ranked fourth in that decade, surpassed only by Elvis Presley, the Beatles and Ray Charles. She is known for her 1960 hit "I'm Sorry". Do check her out!
You won't be disappointed if you listen to her tribute to Patsy Cline- she did an amazing song compilation ... she was very young here. Even if you dont react publicly to it. Listen to her version of "Crazy" Patsys is the original of course ❤❤
She has an entire tribute album to Patsy Cline songs, I believe, or mostly Patsy songs. It's basically an album of covers of country iconic songs. It's an amazing album.
Well, straight from Leann's lips there was a confusion in the directors instruction's . The directors instructions were to record a new version and release the new version , but his instructions were confused and the older version was released .
I took my then 10 year old daughter to see Wynonna, Leanne was a surprise guest , she was 1 week shy of her 14th birthday. That was 26 years ago.😊 She sang Blue, yodeled and another song that I don't recall.
There was another child singer who came out in 2000, and although he faded away soon after, his debut song took the world by storm, and he was all over tv and radio. The singer was Billy Gilman, and the song was "One voice was heard". You may want to add it to your to do list. 😁 (If you do react, do the original, "not" the Home Free version)
Leann is superb and yes Patsy would be very proud esp this achievement at 13 yrs old. First saw Leann doing "Your Cheatin Heart + Blue on Opry Live (1997)", a bit older then but still great. Also a Shout out to Casi Joy who also did a wonderful job on this song. I heard Casi sing this on "The Voice". She has a web site and does all of Patsy's songs. Always had a spot in my heart for Patsy and her timeless songs.
Those vocal shifts are basically yodeling. Shows incredible vocal control and is not easy to do. Obviously Patsy was an expert at it. The Irish seem to have a knack for it, Sinead O'Connor and Dolores O'Riordan (lead singer of The Cranberries) being good examples.
One of my favorite songs. I believe this was was originally written for patsy cline. She has a good yodeling song cattle call done with an older gentleman. Can't get his name lol
Yes this song was written for Patesy Cline yes shes better than Taylor Swift yes she sang in the movie Coyote Ugly her best song for me was origional version of One Way Ticket!
there is one song that can give a example closeness about your description of the unique sounding of Blue and that would be certain parts in Brooks and Dunns song Neon Moon when it reaches the "Neon Moon" part of the song
I find it interesting that blonde girls--especially in Country Music--always seem to start out in their early teens. Leann, is one example, but then you have Tanya Tucker (first album 'Delta Dawn' at 13), and the late Amie Comeaux who's hit single and album 'Who's She To You' were successful (she was 15) and were supposed to kick off her career but tragically right before Christmas after the single was released, she and her grandmother were both killed in a car accident.
I was backing out of my driveway when I first heard this song. I went right to the store and bought the single on CD. I sing Unchained Melody on my channel. The only thing I have on it so far. I love LeAnne! 😍 I am a new subscriber. 😁
Got another even younger singer for you to check out, Jackie Evancho. Pick most any song from her first of three PBS concerts but especially Nessun Dorma, Lovers or The Lord's Prayer, all from when she was 11. She's the youngest solo artist to go platinum.
She was 13 when she recorded the song, but I think in the video she had turned 14. Regardless of age, that kind of voice control is very rare, just like Patsy. And it's just not her voice that makes the song great, it's also that classic true country with that steel guitar and slow temple. BTW: Today's country sux.
Great reaction to the phenomenal LeAnn Rimes! There are so many songs that she has recorded that I’m hoping you will check into. I’m sharing a link to her performances on The Masked Singer which she won. She absolutely blew all the judges away with her vocals but they didn’t know who was singing until the reveal. PLEASE react to this link…..you will definitely enjoy it and thank you! czcams.com/video/TPoLSN9hFEQ/video.html
She does a good job with "Cattle Call" too. This was written for Patsy Cline but Patsy died in a plane crash, at the age of 30, before she could record it. That was 51 years ago. I think Leann was 13 when she recorded this.
this song was written for Patsy but she died in the aviation accident before she got the chance to record it. It was then all those years later the writer broke it out for Leann to record and boom, there it is. If you haven't seen her tribute to Patsy live, it is one of the most touching performances I've ever seen when she breaks down at the end.
Bill Mack, who wrote the song, said several times, and in his autobiography, Bill Mack's Memories from the Trenches of Broadcasting, that he never wrote this song for Patsy and she was never in line to record it. Even if it were true, he wrote the song 5 years before Patsy died, plenty of time for her to have recorded it.
In the country wheelhouse… please review Montgomery Gentry’s “Lonely and Gone”. It is a former country duo. Troy Gentry and Eddie Montgomery ( John Michael Montgomery’s brother). Troy Gentry passed in a helicopter crash some years ago. They are definitely a must review.
Funny you should say that. This song was actually written for Patsy Cline, but she died before getting it. It stayed on the selves for a while and when LeeAnn came on the scene they ended up getting it for her to record.

Youngest female singer ever to win a Grammy at age 14 Leanne has one of the most beautiful falsetto in the business
Technically that's not "falsetto", that's her natural upper range in head voice.
Yes. No falsetto whatsoever.@@StarGeezerTim

I’m sure someone has probably mentioned it already but the Medley she did for a tribute to Patsy Cline is beautiful.😊❤
Yes, it was great, Dec 2013 ACA Awards special.
Country music honored Patsy years ago and LeeAnn performed a medley of her hits. Got standing O and broke into tears on stage. It's on CZcams.
Leann did a tribute to Patsy Cline I think it was on a CMA awards show...I've always loved Leann Rimes... 💛
She won a recent season of “The Masked Singer”…superb talent.

I ain't country, but gotta give props to Leanne.
I took my then 10 year old daughter to see Wynonna, Leanne was a surprise guest , she was 1 week shy of her 14th birthday. That was 26 years ago.😊 She sang Blue, yodeled and another song that I don't recall.

Check out her tribute to Patsy Cline. She is in a class all her own , always has been!
a perfect song

You guys should check out LeeAnn singing "Amazing Grace"... best version of the song ever... find the video of her alone in a church.
A really good mature Leann Rimes song would be her Duet with, Chris Isaak & LeAnn Rimes - Devil in Disguise..Those two kill it...

YEAH GUYS, SHE WAS A HUGE HUGE SUCCESSSSSS STORY! 💯😊 ELTON JOHN & LEANN ( WRITTEN IN THE STARS ) 😊 SHE'S YODELING!
does it get any better than that!
probably mentioned already, but she's still recording. has a recent album out.
Play more Leann Rimes Please !!!
"Cattle Call" is another that showcases her "inflection" (yodel).
Leanne was on the Masked Singer about 3- 4 years ago. Def ✔️ out those performances.
Ya, she was only 13 when she sang this. Amazing
I 2nd/3rd/4th the recommendation that you guys listen to Rimes' song How Do I Live Without You. Gorgeous.
One of my favorite songs. I believe this was was originally written for patsy cline. She has a good yodeling song cattle call done with an older gentleman. Can't get his name lol
Eddie Arnold was the "older gentleman"
Yes this song was written for Patesy Cline yes shes better than Taylor Swift yes she sang in the movie Coyote Ugly her best song for me was origional version of One Way Ticket!
She was only 13 when she recorded this.
Killed it
Ain't a damn thing I'm gonna say that does this justice. 😂😂
“Can’t Fight The Moonlight” by Rimes from the movie “Coyote Ugly” is another great one. More poppy.
Your souls will sing in unison!
A few days ago Diana Ankudinova released an amazing , very beautiful new song - The Day You...
New vocal level!
Leann does a tribute to Patsy Cline that is awesome
there is one song that can give a example closeness about your description of the unique sounding of Blue and that would be certain parts in Brooks and Dunns song Neon Moon when it reaches the "Neon Moon" part of the song

Beautiful delivery. Great reaction.
Leann Rimes Fame came from her being at such a young age and having such a Powerful Mature quality behind that singing Voice....Leann was Taylor Swift
You really need to hear her singing How Do I Live. Nough said.,,,
LeAnn recorded a full album of Patsy Cline covers. It's great!
To hear the original 1958 recording on CZcams by writer Bill Mack, "Bill Mack - Blue (Starday 360) [original 1958 version]"
You should hear her Amazing Grace Capella. Magnificent voice.
The inflection that you noted is known as a yodel.
Please please react to Leann perform the tribute to Patsy Cline. You will love it.
She won The Masked Singer.
Got another even younger singer for you to check out, Jackie Evancho. Pick most any song from her first of three PBS concerts but especially Nessun Dorma, Lovers or The Lord's Prayer, all from when she was 11. She's the youngest solo artist to go platinum.
when I first heard this, I was wondering how I had missed this Patsy Cline song.
Hi Bars and Barbells have you heard the song Cattle call as a duet Leanne Rimes singing with Eddie Arnold
the song was written for patsy cline, then she died in the plane crash
LeeAnn Rimes could have been as big as Taylor Swift if she had wanted to. Talent for days..
She was 13 when she recorded the song, but I think in the video she had turned 14. Regardless of age, that kind of voice control is very rare, just like Patsy. And it's just not her voice that makes the song great, it's also that classic true country with that steel guitar and slow temple. BTW: Today's country sux.
Great reaction to the phenomenal LeAnn Rimes! There are so many songs that she has recorded that I’m hoping you will check into. I’m sharing a link to her performances on The Masked Singer which she won. She absolutely blew all the judges away with her vocals but they didn’t know who was singing until the reveal. PLEASE react to this link…..you will definitely enjoy it and thank you! czcams.com/video/TPoLSN9hFEQ/video.html
Thanks for your donation! Really appreciate it! Leann Rimes is great so we'll look to get to it when we trim down our request list a little 😅
@@barsandbarbells2022 I understand and thank you!
yes she was 13 when she did this clip
That was supposed to be patsy clines next song.
She passed away before she could record it.
She can Yodel people naturally.. ♠W.G.
Leann later developed her own style because there's only one Patsy
Just like Brenda Lee, recording love songs in their early teens!
She does a good job with "Cattle Call" too. This was written for Patsy Cline but Patsy died in a plane crash, at the age of 30, before she could record it. That was 51 years ago. I think Leann was 13 when she recorded this.
this song was written for Patsy but she died in the aviation accident before she got the chance to record it. It was then all those years later the writer broke it out for Leann to record and boom, there it is. If you haven't seen her tribute to Patsy live, it is one of the most touching performances I've ever seen when she breaks down at the end.
Bill Mack, who wrote the song, said several times, and in his autobiography, Bill Mack's Memories from the Trenches of Broadcasting, that he never wrote this song for Patsy and she was never in line to record it. Even if it were true, he wrote the song 5 years before Patsy died, plenty of time for her to have recorded it.
In the country wheelhouse… please review Montgomery Gentry’s “Lonely and Gone”. It is a former country duo. Troy Gentry and Eddie Montgomery ( John Michael Montgomery’s brother). Troy Gentry passed in a helicopter crash some years ago. They are definitely a must review.
Funny you should say that. This song was actually written for Patsy Cline, but she died before getting it. It stayed on the selves for a while and when LeeAnn came on the scene they ended up getting it for her to record.
When I heard this song for the first time, I honestly thought that it was a Patsy Cline song that I had somehow missed.
