Patsy Cline - I Fall to Pieces [Americana] Remixed in HD Color

"I Fall to Pieces" is a song written by Hank Cochran and Harlan Howard that was originally recorded by Patsy Cline and produced by Owen Bradley. Released as a single in 1961 on Decca Records, it topped the country charts, crossed over to the pop charts, and became one of Patsy Cline's biggest hits. She was initially reluctant to record it due to lacking country instrumentation, but did so it on Bradley's encouragement.

After being released, "I Fall to Pieces" did not receive initial airplay. It took a targeted promotion to several disc jockeys playing the track. As the song ascended to the top of the country charts, Cline was injured in a near-fatal car accident. At its peak position, she was recovering from her injuries in the hospital, unable to perform the track for several months. "I Fall to Pieces" was later released on Cline's second studio album, Showcase (1961).

The song has since become a country music standard. It received recognition from several major music associations, including the Recording Industry Association of America, Country Music Television and Rolling Stone. On April 3, it debuted on the Billboard Country chart and began the slowest ascent ever seen. By August 1961, "I Fall to Pieces" peaked at #1 on the Billboard Country chart and reached #12 on the Billboard Pop chart. The song was also one of the slowest chart descenders, as well.

It was one of several Country-Pop crossover hits that Cline had over the next two years before her untimely Tennessee death from a small plane accident March 5, 1963 at 30 years of age.

In 1980, Cline's vocal was lifted from the original three-track master tapes, flown over to a digital multitrack, and overdubbed with a new arrangement featuring new instrumentation and new female background vocalists and released on a Patsy Cline compilation album,

Here, it has been remixed with a television live performance of the song and colorized in Higher Definition by DocRock1007.
