  • This song came out twice; once in 1957, and again in 1961. Each version is different, this version sounds like the 1961 version.

  • @themoshmenace my group of friends listen to lil wayne and trance or whatever that construction work noise is called but in my house there's non of that nonsense...my friends told me about a song with an Etta James (somethings got a hold of me) sample on it and they think its the best song ever but they didn't even know who Etta James is....pretty soon the world will start listening to typing sounds on a keyboard and think its music

  • i love patsy cline this was the first song i knew by heart!!!!!!

  • i wish i had her voice

  • When life was more simpler

  • the music back then was good and still is today not once did you hear them swear now a days thats all you hear is F this and F that

  • I love this particular arrrangement.

    

  • i actually feel guilty now my generation is all into all that shitty rap. Ima fan of country and kid rock. i even like goerge strait i still listen to his music but not much. im just feelin to guilty that type of country is leaving our ntion alone.

  • Patsy Cline has, like, much more class than the Judds. And this music is much deeper than "modern country" which is full of screechy guitars and sound like the singers is chewing bubblegum.

  • Wow three people have NO taste. This is great!

  • Great owe wholsome Tunes.

  • My grandma knew her

  • This brings back some good memories for me.... My Gramma use to let me stand on her feet while she would dance around the living room, singing her heart out to this song.... Such an amazing artist.

  • Patsy died 23 years before I was born so I really have to thank my dad for making me listen to all the music he listened to when he was younger because it's my favorite kind of music now. Patsy was amazing I just think of the great music we missed out on in her death.

  • lovee her voice..love this songg..

  • This version is different than the one I have on my Patsy Cline CD. Still good, nonetheless. :)

  • This song will 4ever remind me of my "BELOVED MOTHER LIZA LAGRELLE ", God bless her soul...Always rememebered N never never 4gotten..."LOVE UR CHILDERN N UR GRANDCHILDREN!"

  • Does anyone know if there is a karoake version of this 61 remake. Been going crazy looking. Thanks for your help. Seattle075

  • i know all her songs and i am 13 lol i luv her i was born in the wrong generation!!!

  • 3 peps do not like you

    \

  • Who are the three people who disliked this song!!! >:O

  • This is the 1961 album version with the Jordanaires, Floyd Cramer, Grady Martin, etc. The "Nashville Sound" at its best. But I miss the Honky Tonk steel guitar from the original recording from 1957.

  • JRF1961 - Women like that are still out there. You just won't find them here or on Match.com. Keep the faith, if you like her music, then there is someone out there for you that appreciates it too.

  • wow she can sing

    

  • We need more vocalists like Patsy Cline, she is a legend.

  • ...... nod to the guitar man in Tenessee

    :-)

  • one of my friends sang this song at a state solo competition and made it to the top three, and this song has been stuck in my head and its driving me crazy so i just had to hear it again.

  • JRF1961... I know just what you mean. Music today just doesn't measure up to the Late Greats. Sadly, there will never be one that could emulate or measure up to the caliber person that Patsy Cline was. Her talents were true, there was nothing fake about her."Performers" today could and should take a lesson from her. I'm so glad to know that there is someone else out there who not only shares the love of her music, but her genuine(ness).

  • This is the best song of Patsy Cline...

  • This is what my grandparents put on their driving! but i like it!

  • Girl In A Coma covered his song and made video out of it, CHECK IT OUT!! Nina did an amazing job with the vocals.

  • Love this song!!!!!! :o)

  • they really need to bring back music like this. Patsy is a Legend. music just isn't the same any more. i doubt that most of the female singers now can sing without that damned auto tune.

  • they really need to bring back music like this. Patsy is a Legend. music just isn't the same any more. i doubt that most of the female singers now can sing without that damned auto tune.

  • what a handsome woman

    

  • first time for me was on king of the hill..i love this damn version

  • my mother, sister and i used to sit on the couch and sing this song all night long. i miss those days. we would laugh at our horriable singing when we were done!

  • My fave version of this tune. Thanks for sharing! :-)

  • Cool beat, I love this version, I truly miss her

  • this woman had style. 

  • @championofthesun23 Reeeeeeeeeally????? I agree the lack of talent today....but what the hell did sideburns ever do to get brought into this? I'd like to pick that album up if you can tell me who sings....My Pussy All Up On Your Pork Chops!....and by the way Patsy Cline pure talent and great song!

  • @regionguy149 the answer to your question is BED ROCK - YOUNG MONEY and Nicki Minaj is the one who says it...its a worthless album, its not even worth stealing. even though i would probably let her ride my sideburns as long as i don't get an ear herpes

  • @championofthesun23 and guys calling girls bitches

  • @championofthesun23 And men with dirty minds and mouths that arent gentlemen at all.

  • @championofthesun23 it sounds like you are into the wrong kind of music

  • @sonnysburning5133 No, he's into the right kind of music. With out question.

  • MY FAVORITE SONG! <3 EVERY SINCE I WAS A KID I LOVE HER SOOOOO MUCH!

  • Very simple. Classy. Voice clear as a bird's.

  • This is the 1961 version. The 1957 version was much longer, in mono and recorded quite differently.

  • Oh she was one of a kind..... No one like her could every be made... God forgot the recipe

  • Been looking for this version forever!! Thanks for updating! Anyone know if this particular version is available on cd or digital?

  • Love this version; not "twangy" like the others...

  • @AutoSource2403192237 i like all versions.

  • THE best that has ever been.. and, quite likely, THE best that ever will be. Listening to Patsy is spiritual. What an incredible gift.

  • I MISS the AMAZING VOICE of PATSY.... listening to her on the old radio and the old 45s with my grandparents.

  • how much more pure can you get

    

  • Wow... Patsy nailed it!!! Thank you Patsy, you were the best!!!

  • The reason it sounds country is because Patsy Cline was probably the greatest female C & W singer who ever lived. She has been emulated, but never duplicated.

    Also, obviously people claiming about today's women singers have obviously never heard of Alisha Keyes.

  • I Love This Song and i'm 15 Reminds Me Of My Grandad and growing up :') Old People Music For Thy Win :')

  • these are the songs!

  • Patsy I love you!

  • @horsemad1670 Actually being gay is a gift from God. Why are all of you Evangelical fundamentalists such experts on homosexuality? Unless you are gay how would you know if it is a choice or not. Can you tell me when you chose to be straight? Thought not! BTW there is no Hell!

  • @RImusclebear Being gay is not an abomination unto the Lord. The act of homosexuality is. Read your Bible - all of it, not just passages you agree with

  • @grannyg331 Sorry I disagree with you. Homosexuals contribute to society by paying taxes and working. Because sex education is not taught to their children many christian fundamentalist daughters end up bearing a child before they are 18 and are on welfare by the time they are 21. Many studies have been done on Christian fundamentalists and their illegitamate children. Sad but you people need to start emphasising condom use amoung your young people. This purity pledge business is crap.

  • @grannyg331 so is working on the sabath dipshit.IF YOU HAVE EVER WORKED ON THE SABATH YOU ARE AN ABOMINATION so lets cherry pick the Bible, OK?.

  • @RImusclebear Well hell is very real, but so is heaven. Gay is a choice. We choose things good or bad.

  • @monumentfloyd You go to Hell every time you enter a fundamentalist church and how exactly do you know being gay is a choice? There is NO HELL! It doesn't exist period. People who believe in HELL are ignorant! If you are not gay you are talking out your azz!

  • @RImusclebear well how do you know there is no hell? There is a heaven and a hell. We make choices. Gods gift is love and we choose if we want to be with Him or not. So its not just gays that go to hell. I didnt mean to say that. Its just anyone who reject his son and God go to tell because we are all sinners.

  • @monumentfloyd Actually gods gift to me was my homosexuality. I am very happy being a wealthy gay man. Sorry I don't buy into your Bible because it doesn't make sense. It contradicts itself over 1500 times. Just wondering if you have ever worked on the sabbath? If you have and were not stoned to death by your neighbors you are going striaght to HELL and they are too because they didn't murder you! THAT IS IN YOUR BIBLE! 'NUFF SAID.

  • @RImusclebear1 Have you actually tried reading the NEW TESTAMENT? You're forgetting the Bible is a history book as well as Gods book. Under Jewish law certain things were punishable by death. Jesus Christ came to shed his blood for our sins to cover the law. Under the law was Gods law. This was part of Jewish culture, but God was influencing the way for Jesus Christ to come and save humanity.

  • hey yo

  • Patsy Cline was a GREAT singer...

    She did the definitive version of "Love Letters"...

    One of the best country singers ever? Yes I think so...

    Almost as good as singer/songwriter Karmann Powell... But THAT is 50 years later...

  • This song is about a gay man cruising the docks after midnight, You striaght people had no idea until Patsy sang it. God bless Patsy Kline! The man who wrote the song was gay as most great artists are unless they are female as Patsy was.

  • @RImusclebear

    He was country, which means Republican and NOT gay.

  • @ewd76 Please don't be ignorant! There are several gay Republicans. The song is about a gay man cruising the docks after midnight. The song writer said so several times in interviews because it is autobiographical. Sorry if reality is to hard for you to bear. Grow up!

  • @ewd76 Do I need to name all the Republican politicians who are "not gay? Your statement is the biggest crock I have ever seen on You-tube.

  • @RImusclebear

    That's the biggest? I've seen a lot more crazy stuff than that.

  • @RImusclebear He was not gay. His name was a songwriter named Don Hecht. Patsy hated the song and wrote it off as "too Pop". But she was under contract and forced to record it anyway. Later she made this version. Im not sure if she liked it any better. Most male musicians are not gay. They are straight.

  • @RImusclebear Could you please cite your source.

  • Amazing song. What a hook

  • My old girlfriend used to sing this to me at the karoke bar.

  • u gotta love this

  • clap,clap,clap,clap you can't stop applauding Patsy Cline

  • I love this version.

    I tell you, her voice is the most beautiful of any person's.

  • My grandmother looked like her..maybe the other way around, and my voice sounds similar!

  • @sashad2011

    my great aunt looked like her too, god bless both their souls. i hate how everybody keeps saying shes ugly! okay not everybody, but alot of other people have! shes so BEAUTIFUL i almost wish i was alive in her day, back when natural beauty was desired. PATSY CLINE WE LOVE YOU

  • @CarlySara007 She was very beautiful. But I think the reason people say she wasnt was mainly because of the wigs she had to wear to cover up the scars from her car accident. And some of the clothes of the early 60s were not very flattering. Also, she wasn't a stick. She had a figure. In today's warped world that isn't pretty anymore.

  • This is not the 1956 (released in 1957) recording. This is the 1961 re-record.

  • i love this song

  • Wow, a singer who actually made through the God Given gift of talent. She did not have to use her body or make disgusting video's or vile lyrics to get to the top. I would give anything for a woman today who could do what Patsy was able to do and prove!!!

  • @JRF1961 those days are gone for ever. all the greats are singing for god. and i believe as long as we remmber and love their music. then they are not really gone, they live in our hearts

  • @JRF1961

    Kelly Clarkson

  • @JRF1961 Hey, I was just wandering down memory lane and looking for songs I'd like to sing, like this one, and I read your comment about wishing there was someone who made it in music by talent alone and I have to say, I can think of someone straight out who fits the bill.. Alison Krauss. She's at the top of her profession and she's got there by being a plucky talented kid who turned into a beautiful and wonderful performer. Be inspired! Px :)

  • @JRF1961 You do realize Patsy hit it 50 years ago when women were supposed to be mothers and caretakers. Don't take me the wrong way, I agree that young women in music today act like whores. But you need to get out of the stoneage. This is 2010 and times have changed. I'm sure there are a lot of people that would like to go back to the simpler times.

  • @WarmothStrat how do you think patsy would do in todays market

  • @whend72 Unfortunately not very well. Today's market doesn't call for people that actually have talent. Patsy had more talent in a pimple on her ass than these kids do today.

  • @JRF1961 i think she kinda did when she sang this on national television and put a nice cocktail dress, and tweeked the music

  • @JRF1961 Love Patsy... and now I love Adele. Realness.

  • @JRF1961 I agree but puhleez relax.

  • @JRF1961 you should look up Adele, then. she is the modern day Patsy. Adele also writes all of her own music.

  • @JRF1961 Adele, Amy Winehouse, Karen O, Mette Lindberg, it ain't all bad :)

  • @JRF1961 A lot of women are doing that today. Just don't expect them to show up on MTV.

  • Cool. This is the version I prefer although both are great.

  • One of the few songs that's extremely old, but still holds up very well!

  • i love this version. i can never find it anywhere. it makes me so sad.

  • yes u can! i have this version on my ipod. u can get it

    on itunes.

  • They don't make music like this anymore. You can hear the love in her voice.

  • no, she doesn't do it for me - loretta lynn, yes, bobbie gentry, absolutely - but this just sort of meanders along to no great purpose. and i can't get crazy about 'crazy' and 'i fall to pieces' doesn't make me fall to pieces. sorry, patsy, god rest your soul, but i'm just not a fan :)

  • @firestartertwistedfi we're all entitled to our opinions. Patsy had a lot of expression in her voice that the other singers you mention don't have. Plus her range and the way she phrased things was unique- especially for Country music. You may not be a fan, but those who "get it" are.

  • so as we know there are 2 versions to this song, and the other longer version is the one that appears on "patsy cline' in 1957. this shorter version 1st appeared on a 1961 album called "patsy cline showcase" and on many more albums in later years, but the very 1st time this shorter version was released was on "patsy cline showcase" in '61. floyd kramer and the jordanaires are playing on this song.

  • this version was re-recorded in 1961 for Decca records, due to the "non- country crowd" popularity. Both versions are excellent!

  • @krigel75 Ironically, This one sounds a lot more country to me than the first one. Thats why it sounds better. The first one was too slow and blues-y sounding.

  • Great Video.

    I love this version of "Walkin' After Midnight".

    It is the same on that they had in the movie Sweet Dreams with Patsy on Talent Scounts.

    Which she actual sang the orginal version.

    R.I.P. Patsy,

    The Queen of Country Music.

  • This version was re-recorded in 1961 because the Decca executives wanted a version that would appeal to Patsy's growing non-country audience. The biggest changes to this version were adding the Jordanaires, Buddy Harman's drums, Harold Bradley's electric bass, Hargus "Pig" Robbins piano, and of course the vibraphone played by Bill Pursell, a great pianist who played for the Nashville Symphony and taught at Vanderbilt at the time.

  • @kcope001 Then why does it sound country? The first one sounded more like for non country fans.

  • Love this studio version with the added

    walka doo wahs, it sounds so '57 !

  • `my opionion queen of country

  • Comment removed

  • searching for me, last line

  • favorite song ihave this song on tape this version is better.

  • love ...patsy cline..

  • This is the Nashville sound of early 60s. Wonder who arranged it. Watch the song length when shopping. This version was on her 2-LP hits collection.

  • UNTOPPABLE TALENT. Patsy was the greatest country singer of all time ! Arguably ? then,why does Patsy sing at least 12 songs that are recognized American Classics ? Even Elvis Presley (who i also love ) hasnt as many timeless American recordings as Patsy.

  • In the film "Sweet Dreams", this tune featured a snazzy brass accompaniment. It was superb.

    Patsy Cline -- the best there ever was, best there ever will be in country music.

  • I was but a baby when she was taken from us, but love, love, LOVE Patsy Cline and I love this song! I also love, "You're Stronger Than Me".

    Thanks!

  • Awesome classic! One of Patsy's all-time greats! Keep on "walkin'" Patsy!!!!!

  • I love both studio versions!

  • Taken from us far too early and much too tragically!!

  • I fell in love with patsy's voice 50 years ago and I am still in love

  • hey you should get the lyrics on here. that would be very much appreciated. lol

  • I'm so glad that I'm not the only person who thinks this 1961 version is the best. I love it. I can remember listening to this on my grandma's record player when I was little.

  • ah man oh man i have been looking for this version for ever, many thanks

  • This is not the original version that appeared on her first album in 1957. This is the re-recorded version that appeared on her second album.

  • I knew there was a difference in her "original recording" of this song. I think I like this one better.

  • Well, you can rest assured that someone out here is remembering these great singers from the golden days. My seven year old does a pretty good rendition of this song. She LOVES Patsy Cline.

  • I like ANY and ALL versions sung by the Cline.

  • Awesome song by a legend and one of my all-time favorites. Patsy was just about the best singer ever and this song ( and many other classics by the late greal gal) shows why!

  • THIS IS THE VERSION I LIKE! The other versions are more waltzy, this is a bit more jazzy!

  • This is my favorite version. I like the earlier version too, but the Jordanaires' "walk-a-walk-a-walkin'" on this version is just way cool.

  • This version is actually more Country. The other versions are more Bluesy.

  • @Makewood Mine too. Although this ain't Jazz. Its good 'ol Country music !

  • @Makewood This is the Decca recording, from August of 1961. I like both versions, but this one is my favorite, probably because of the Jordanaires singing "Walk-a-walk-a-walkin".

  • this is my fav version of the song, i thought i wouldn't find it, thank you1

  • My favourite version of this song! Thanks for posting

  • i love thhis song.!!! makes me want to cry its soooooo good!!!!!

  • Truly a great classic!

  • There's no one that even compares!! Creme of the crop; they just don't make them like her anymore. The only close one in my opinion is K.D. Lang, but even she can't quite pull it off. Is there anywhere I can get words to Patsy's music? :) Thanks! Ginger

  • just Google the name of the song and "lyrics" pretty much any song is available that way.

  • Yes!!! This is the version that I love the best!  Thanks for posting!

  • This is the version I've been looking for too! It has a relaxed tempo that works well.

    I loaned my cd to someone...well, anyway thanks for posting.

  • Yes! Love those Jordannaires on background vocals.

    "walk-a-walk-a-walkin'..."

  • Thanks. I've been looking for this version. Just subbed to you.

  • This by the way is not the 1957 version, which is the version that most people have on you tube. This is the stereo remake recorded on Aug 25th, 1961. It did not chart, but it is my favorite version.
