This first and definitive biography of Patsy Cline, the first female country singer to cross the line into pop and blues [and the first to be named to the Country Music Hall of Fame], is based on exclusive and extensive interviews with Patsy Cline’s mother, husband, and also the country stars who knew and loved her.

Now updated to feature a host of never-before-published photographs and an afterword that details controversial claims about her birth, the battle between Cline’s siblings for her possessions, the amazing influence Cline had on a new generations of singers, and, in Cline’s own words from letters to a devoted friend, her excitement as her career soared to new heights and her marriage descended to new depths.

 


 

Ellis Nassour is an entertainment writer. He has devoted the past 25 years to promoting the legacy of Patsy Cline, and has had a hand in two musicals involving her story.
