Country Music Round of 32: 4. Patsy Cline vs 5. Loretta Lynn

Tequilla

The first 2 dominant female voices in a battle royale in the prime-time made for TV matchup in the Grand Ole Opry region:

Patsy Cline

One of the first country singers in my mind that really had crossover appeal and hit the mainstream. Left us way too young in an a plane crash like many musicians died in the late 50s and early 60s. While the career was short, the legacy was legendary

Loretta Lynn

A powerhouse that has carried on for over 60 years with awards and accolades that are vast. She was an original as one of the very first female artists to deliver performances from the female/feminist perspective (something unheard of in the ultra-conservative world of country music in the 60's and 70s)

Love them both but Patsy is prolly my favorite female country vocalist ever. Plus she had the Jordanaires on backing vocals. You know who else they backed? Elvis...
