Music Singer

Inscription. Patsy Cline (Virginia
Patterson Hensley), world-famous singer, lived in this house. She was born in
Winchester Memorial Hospital on 8 Sept. 1932. On 21 Jan. 1957 she won Arthur
Godfrey’s Talent Scouts national television show’s competition singing
“Walkin’ After Midnight.” In 1961 “I fall to Pieces” became a hit. Her iconic
“Crazy” was released a year later. Her haunting voice took her to the top of
the charts, and her style and popularity have never waned. She died in an
airplane crash on 5 Mar. 1963 in Camden, Tennessee. In 1973, she was inducted
into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Cline is interred at nearby Shenandoah
Memorial Park.
