    Patsy Cline - Crazy (original stereo)

    “Crazy” is one of the most time-honored recordings in popular music history. The song was composed by country music artist Willie Nelson who had made a demo of it that found its way into the hands of Patsy’s record producer, Owen Bradley. After listening to the demo, Patsy tried at first to record it in the style Willie had sung it, and the results were not to anyone’s liking, especially Patsy’s. At Owen Bradley’s recommendation, she recorded it again a few days later this time “in her own style” with a vocal assist from the Jordanaires, and what you hear is the first and only take ever made of Patsy singing “Crazy”. The song ultimately became a Top Ten crossover pop hit in November of 1961 and the signature song for what little remained of the rest of her life.

     I’m crazy for trying and crazy for crying

     And i’m crazy for loving you”
