Patsy Cline - The Patsy Cline Collection - 4CD-BOX 1991

Patsy Cline (September 8, 1932 - March 5, 1963), born Virginia Patterson Hensley in the State/Commonwealth of Virginia, U.S.A., was an American country music singer who enjoyed pop music crossover success during the era of the Nashville sound in the early 1960s. Since her death in 1963 at age 30 in a private airplane crash at the height of her career, she has been considered one of the most influential, successful, and acclaimed female vocalists of the 20th century. Cline was best known for her rich tone and emotionally expressive bold contralto voice, which, along with her role as a mover and shaker in the country music industry, has been cited as an inspiration by many vocalists of various music genres. Her life and career have been the subject of numerous books, movies, documentaries, articles and stage plays. Her hits included Walkin' After Midnight, I Fall to Pieces, She's Got You, Crazy, and Sweet Dreams. Posthumously, millions of her albums have sold over the past 50 years. She has been given numerous awards, which have given her an iconic status with some fans similar to that of legends Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley. Ten years after her death, she became the first female solo artist inducted to the Country Music Hall of Fame. In 2002, Cline was voted by artists and members of the country music industry as number one on CMT's television special, The 40 Greatest Women of Country Music, and in 1999 she was voted number 11 on VH1's special The 100 Greatest Women in Rock and Roll by members and artists of the rock industry. She was also ranked 46th in Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Singers of all Time. According to her 1973 Country Music Hall of Fame plaque, Her heritage of timeless recordings is testimony to her artistic capacity. (wikipedia) - - - The Country Music Foundation offers 104 songs, more than four hours of music, even though Patsy Cline died at 30 after less than a decade of recording. Given the wavering quality of her later string-laden work, four CDs might be excessive, but this set comprehensively follows Cline from upstart country boomer to pop diva. She could take charge of a song from day one, as the two 1954 radio transcriptions prove. On her vibrant late-1950s work, she moves from honky-tonk and rockabilly to soft ballads in commanding fashion. Walkin After Midnight, her first hit, features Don Helms's gentle steel guitar while her vocals blend raw power with emotional vulnerability. By 1957, vocal groups had entered into the mix, and in 1961, hits such as I Fall to Pieces, She's Got You, and Willie Nelson's Crazy brought her pop stardom. - - - Patsy Cline - The Patsy Cline Collection 1954-1963 (4CD Universal City, Calif.

Been looking for this, but was disappointed to find that the last 8 tracks on disc 4 are messed up. Track 15 skips badly...and all the tracks after that are just snippits of the song "Sweet Dreams"...don't know what the heck happened there.
