In 1961, Patsy Cline released the song "Crazy.” It was written by Willie Nelson, who was then a struggling songwriter. At one point, Nelson's financial situation was so dire that a friend tried to help him find a job selling encyclopedias. "Crazy" was one of Nelson's compositions, but initially, no one wanted to perform it due to its complex chord structure.
However, Patsy Cline decided to take on the song. Just as she was about to record it, she was involved in a car accident that left her with broken ribs. This injury made it difficult for her to sing, so she had to pause and recover. When she returned to the studio, she delivered the song with a unique sound that contributed to its success. "Crazy" became a massive hit, significantly benefiting both Willie Nelson and Patsy Cline. The song is now considered a classic standard.
Tragically, Patsy Cline's life was cut short when she died in a plane crash in 1963 at the age of 30.
