Patsy Cline is officially part of the Music City Walk of Fame. Trisha Yearwood shared on her social media channels on Monday (October 10) that she inducted the music legend with one of her children present, and with a gift from Cline’s family.
“Today I had the privilege of inducting Patsy Cline into the [Music City Walk of Fame]. It was honor to share this moment with her daughter, Julie, and celebrate one of the most influential vocalists in country music and beyond. Life is crazy…❤️,” Yearwood wrote in her caption. She added: “Look closely and you’ll see one of my most treasured gifts from the Cline family…a necklace that Patsy wore!”
Cline was known for songs like “Crazy” — written by Willie Nelson — “Walkin’ After Midnight,” “I Fall To Pieces” and more. She was born in Virginia on September 8, 1932. She died in a plane crash on March 5, 1963, while returning home from a benefit performance in Kansas City, Missouri. Pilot Randy Hughes and fellow Grand Ole Opry stars Cowboy Copas and Hawkshaw Hawkins also died in the crash. Cline was the first solo female artist to be elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame, and inspired many other artists throughout her career — including Loretta Lynn, Linda Ronstadt, Wynonna Judd and Yearwood — according to the Country Music Hall of Fame.
The Music City Walk of Fame induction ceremony took place at Music City Walk of Fame Park on Monday in Nashville, Tennessee. Cline was inducted along with John Prine, Dr. Paul T. Kwami and Ed Hardy. See Yearwood’s photos with Cline’s daughter here:
