"I Fall to Pieces" was the first of a litany of hit songs for Patsy Cline, quickly reaching number-one on the country charts. It was also the first of Patsy's songs to be written by Harlan Howard and Hank Cochran, two iconic songwriters who went on to write a string of hits for her.

"I Fall to Pieces" continues to be one of Patsy's most celebrated and recognizable songs.

The song was originally brought to Brenda Lee who repeatedly turned it down, claiming it was "too country" for her. A producer attempted to have a male country singer perform the song but the general consensus was that it was not an ideal song to be sung by a man.

That's when Patsy Cline decided to step in. She recorded the song and absolutely blew the producers away with her rendition. To this day, millions of country fans are happy that Patsy Cline was the one who took the song to the charts.

Patsy Cline died way too young but thankfully, she left a wonderful legacy behind. Send this to a fellow country music and brighten their day!
