Gerard ‘Mo Chara’ Kelly painted these three images of Patsy Cline in the back garden of a Springhill neighbour. Cline died in 1963 at age 30; the three panels show different stages of her short career: the first shows her in cowboy gear, before turning to pop music, the second is based on a 1957 publicity shot for her new label, Decca, and the third shows her in 1961 (the three originals can be found below). Her cover of Don Gibson’s Sweet Dreams was released as a single in the wake of her death.
Here is video of Patsy singing Willie Nelson’s Crazy and, below that, Marsha Thornton doing the song from which today’s title comes:
