When discussing country music, Patsy Cline’s influence is almost difficult to miss. She was an iconic personality in the genre, with a great voice.

Patsy Cline tragically died in an aircraft crash in 1963 while flying under difficult weather. Her sudden demise stunned the music industry, a loss that reverberates every time we hear her songs.

LeAnn Rimes is one musician that greatly appreciates Patsy Cline’s contributions to the music industry. Rumors suggest that Rimes originally intended her breakthrough track, ‘Blue,’ for Cline before the tragic event. At the age of 13, Rimes recorded the song that began her career.

LeAnn Rimes was honored to appear at the American Country Awards in 2013, where she sang two of Patsy Cline’s timeless favorites in homage to the famous singer. The video creators gave a retro flavor to the performance by using a black-and-white tint that suited the homage.

As she sang ‘Crazy’ and ‘Leavin’ On Your Mind, Rimes not only paid tribute to the original songs but also filled them with her own emotional depth and distinct flair.
