History Highlight:

Today, in 1963, country singer Patsy Cline (along with singers Cowboy Copas and Hawkshaw Hawkins) was killed in a plane crash near Camden, Tennessee. Cline was 30 and at the height of her career. One of the most influential, successful and acclaimed female vocalists of the 20th century, Cline was part of the early 1960s' "Nashville Sound" but later succesfully crossed over to pop music. She may have even predicted her death: after two car accidents, she said she had a sense of impending doom and started writing her will on Delta Air Lines stationery and asking her friends to take care of her kids should anything happen to her.
