Descripción de Patsy Cline - I Fall To Pieces (Original Stereo):

"I Fall To Pieces" was the first song that the songwriting team of Hank Cochran and Harlan Howard composed together. They brought the song to record producer Owen Bradley in Nashville who first offerred it to Brenda Lee who turned it down ("too country for me"), and then Roy Drusky (it's not a man's song"), and then Patsy Cline. Patsy recorded it in November of 1960 with vocal backing by the Jordanaires, but the song didn't immediately gain country radio station acceptance when it was released in January of 1961. A pop station in Columbus, Ohio began playing it, and the song first captured some crossover appeal before the country audience discovered it. By the late spring of the year, both pop and country audiences had "found" the recording, but Patsy was involved in a car accident in June of 1961 which kept her from promoting the song. Still "I Fall to Pieces" reached #12 on the pop charts by July of that year, and the song's success garnered her an invitation to join the Grand Ole Opry.
