Sixty years ago today, November 27, 1961, Patsy Cline's second album, "Showcase," was released.
Hat tip, This Day in Country Music
1961
Decca Records released Patsy's Cline's second studio album Showcase which was produced by Owen Bradley. The album produced two singles that became hits on both the Billboard country and pop charts. The first, "I Fall to Pieces," became Cline's first #1 hit on the country chart and also reached the Top 15 on the pop Top 100 in 1961. The follow-up single, "Crazy," was nearly as big of a hit as "I Fall to Pieces," peaking in the top five on the Billboard country chart.
