Patsy Cline, born as Virginia Patterson Hensley, is still considered one of the most influential women in country music. She became a crossover hit and hugely successful, despite her tragic death cutting her career short while in its prime. Cline gained a reputation as both a dedicated friend and a fierce woman in charge of her sound. Her persistence, charm, and talent broke her out of the mold of a 1950s woman and paved the way for other female artists. Though her last album was released over 50 years ago, her songs continues to make headlines and “Best Of” lists, proving Patsy Cline’s timelessness.
