Patsy Cline was an American country music singer born on September 8, 1932, in Winchester, Virginia. She is known for her rich, emotive voice and her ability to blend country with pop music. Cline gained fame in the early 1960s with hits like "Crazy" and "I Fall to Pieces," becoming one of the first female country artists to achieve widespread popularity. Tragically, her career was cut short when she died in a plane crash on March 5, 1963, at the age of 30. Despite her brief career, Cline's influence on country music is profound, and she remains an iconic figure in the genre.
