Purple Phoenix Productions is pleased to present This toe-tapping tribute concert features gifted vocalist/entertainer Meg McLynn, accompanied by a live 7-piece country band. The program includes songs that the legendary Ms. Cline recorded and performed over her short but legendary career, including “Walkin’ After Midnight”, “I Fall To Pieces”, “She’s Got You”, “Heartaches”, “Sweet Dreams”, “Leaving On Your Mind”, “Foolin’ Around”, “So Wrong”, “Too Many Secrets”, “Faded Love”, “Back In Baby’s Arms”, “Strange”, “San Antonio Rose”, “Anytime” and her trademark hit “Crazy.” Patsy Cline is considered by most to be the Queen of Country Music. Achieving superstar status in the late 1950’s/early 1960’s, Cline’s career skyrocketed when she joined the regular cast at The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville in 1960. She had already had minor success with a few recordings, but the television appearances boosted the public’s awareness of her. She release three albums before she was killed in a private plane crash in 1963. Fortunately, she had recorded many songs that had not yet been released by the record company, so many of her most popular songs were not released until after her death. In 1973 Cline was the first female solo artist to be elected into the Country Music Hall of Fame. In 1995 she was posthumously given a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. In 1997 her recording of “Crazy” was named the number one jukebox recording of all time –and her recording of “I Fall To Pieces” was listed at No. 17.
