She's Got You Lyrics

Patsy Cline loved the Lyrics to the song She's Got You and was so moved by the lyrics she memorized the song in one evening, recorded it and the song immediately became one of her favorite songs.

When song writer Hank Cochran told her he had written her next #1 hit she told him to bring a bottle of liquor to her house, play it for her, and the rest is history.

Hank came to her house and played it for Patsy and her friend Dottie West who was visiting that afternoon.

After hearing the song Patsy was so moved by the Lyrics she not only learned the song that night, she called her producer, Owen Bradley and sang it to him over the phone.

Patsy recorded the song at her next session and the song was released on January 10, 1962.

This was actually pretty unusual as she and Bradley often disagreed with each others choice of material. Even before the song was released they both agreed they had a hit.

She's Got You has been covered by numerous artists, but none did her more proud than her close friend Loretta Lynn.

In 1977, the song also became a No. 1 country hit for Lynn, when her tribute album to Cline called I Remember Patsy was released.

There's a reason that over 50 years after her death and the end of her short career she is still regarded as one of the most important singers of the 20th century. You may just think of her as only a country singer, but her music goes so far beyond that. 

Her vocal phrasing was almost perfect and the gut-wrenching emotion that she sang further enhanced her performances.
