AUGUST 21, 1961 – Patsy Cline recorded the classic Willie Nelson song “Crazy”. Cline was still on crutches after going through a car windshield in a head-on collision two months earlier and had difficulty reaching the high notes of the song at first due to her broken ribs. “Crazy” spent 21 weeks on the chart and eventually became one of her signature tunes.
LYRICS:
I’m crazy
crazy for feeling so lonely
I’m crazy
crazy for feeling so blue
I know
you’d love me as long as you wanted
then someday
leave me for somebody new
worry
why do I let myself worry
wondering
what in the world did I do
crazy
for thinking that my love could hold you
I’m crazy for crying
I’m crazy for trying
I’m crazy for loving you
