Patsy Cline

On Sept. 8, 1932, Virginia Patterson Hensley — known to country music fans as Patsy Cline — was born in Gore, Va.

March 5, 1963 was a tragic day in country music history. Three legends were lost in a plane accident.

She puts her own spin on an all-time classic.

May they rest in peace ...

Rest in peace, Patsy ...

It was one of the all-time tragedies.

On March 3, 1963, Cline performed her final show in Kansas City, Kan.

One of the great names in the history of country music also had one of the biggest hits. So whatever happened to Hawkshaw Hawkins?

Grab the tissues ...

Not all first releases have been hot sellers -- even albums by artists who would soon come to define and influence country music.
