Patsy Cline was an American singer who popularized country music in the 20th century. Her influence persists even today, as she is considered one of the most important vocalists of her generation. She began her musical career in the early 1950s, singing on local radio stations and performing at small clubs. Her big break came in 1957 when she was invited to perform on the Grand Ole Opry, one of the most popular country music shows of its time. Cline's appearance on the show helped her to gain a wider audience and she soon became one of the most popular country singers in the United States.
Cline continued to enjoy success throughout the 1960s, releasing a number of successful singles and albums. Her career was cut short, however, when she died in a plane crash in 1963 at the age of 30. Cline's short life and career nonetheless had a profound impact on country music and she is remembered as one of the greatest singers of her generation.
