Editorial Review:
One of the pioneers of the country pop "Nashville Sound" of the late '50s and early '60s, Patsy Cline's remarkable voice still resonates amongst vocalists today, in pop as well as country. Her earthy yet studied approach as a singer gave such records as '57's "Walkin' after Midnight" and 1961's "Crazy" (penned by Willie Nelson) a unique quality unmatched since her death in a 1963 plane crash. This 24-track retrospective was originally released shortly thereafter and includes all of her classics such as the above tracks as well as "She's Got You," and "Sweet Dreams." It also features some nice extras, such as her takes on standards such as "San Antonio Rose" and "The Wayward Wind." --Billy Altman

Rating: - Her voice can convert ANYONE to Country Music !
Patsy Cline is not your typical twang and twirl country gal. She had the most versatile voice in recorded music history. She could croon a country ballad, turn around and belt out a rockabilly tune, and then swoop a jazz song. In this collection, you get Patsy at her truest self. Where she found her impeccable voice and put it with just the right material. I know so many people that don't like Country Music (which is a shame, because they're missing out!) but have discovered Patsy Cline's music and ... Read More
Rating: - The ultimate Patsy Cline collection
If you want one CD with all the hits and more, this is the one. It's too bad that Patsy Cline set the standard so high, because no one can seem to even get close! Makes a great dinner date background music record, also.!
Rating: - Setting the standard for those that followed
Patsy set the standard for female country singers, with many of those that followed trying (or so it seemed) to be the next Patsy Cline - even today, forty years after her death in a plane crash. All but one of Patsy's classic songs can be found on this collection. Crazy was a top ten pop hit in America and (in 1990) a top twenty hit in Britain. Heartaches was Patsy's first American top forty pop hit. Don Gibson wrote Sweet dreams and had a big country hit with it, but once Patsy recorded it, it became ... Read More
Rating: - Essential Cline
This is the one to get for your collection. Sheer enjoyment! A great talent captured here to be enjoyed over and over again. If only we could have comparable contemporary talent. The nuisances and song interpretations are subtle, yet outstanding!
Rating: - This is the one!
If you can only buy one Patsy Cline CD, this is it. All of her biggest hits are here, as well as a few of the minor (but no less important) ones. I've had the cassette and record album versions of this compilation for years and was thrilled to find it on CD. Patsy Cline was the best; this collection shows you why!
