Patsy Cline isn’t just a name fleetingly mentioned in the history of country music— she’s an entire chapter, all by herself!

Four years after her tragic death in a place crash at the age of 30, Patsy Cline was still one of the best-loved female vocalists in country music, and in 1967 Decca Records, the label that released the bulk of her hits, responded with this album, a collection of 12 of her most popular songs.

Hers is the country-blues voice that shall never be stilled, for there are many albums to keep Patsy’s remarkable compassion-in-song with us forever. But this one has been purposefully designed to be treasured above all the others: this, more than any of those albums which have gone before it, brings you a classic collection of the songs which were unquestionably her greatest.

Walking After' Midnight is remembered as the first record to call worldwide attention to Patsy, although many of us had known her, adored her, for years before the world at large became aware of the towering talent she possessed. Walking After Midnight did not make her a full-fledged star until the Spring of 1957, but there are those folks who were lucky enough to have first heard her in 1948 and to have followed her career through appearances on such shows as the “Old Dominion Barn Dance,” “Louisiana Hayride,” the “Big D Jamboree,” “Ozark Jubilee,” the “Jimmy Dean Show” of the mid-1950s and, finally, as the peak of her performing lifetime was reached, on the “Grand Ole Opry.”

Crazy, I Fall To Pieces and She's Got You - all of which are featured in this album, of course were three of the highest points of Patsy's stardom. But, for those who can honestly count themselves among her most loyal admirers, those three were no finer examples of her ability to arouse her audiences than the lesser known So Wrong, Faded Love and You’re Stronger Than Me.

She has left us also the magic touch of her blues treatment of Sweet Dreams (Of You) and Back In Baby’s Arms, and of a song that many find to be the most appealing of any she ever sang, Leavin’ On Your Mind.

Owen Bradley, Red Foley, Arthur Godfrey and, in fact, every person who gave Patsy’s budding career a boost felt compelled to do so, because each recognized from the very first moment she sang for him that hers was an exceptional voice that had to be given the opportunity for a wider audience. And yet it was not the voice alone, more important, they knew, it was the heart of this girl which made the songs she sang have such an overpowering effect on all who listened.

The Patsy Cline enshrined in the hearts of our generation will go on and on gathering tens of thousands of new admirers in the years to come. Many who are too young to have watched her rise to fame will discover Patsy for the first time in this collection of her hits, here they will hear twelve of the greatest reasons why her name has earned far more than just passing mention in the annals of country blues... why hers is an entire chapter in country music history, all by itself.
