Patsy Cline, one of the most influential female singers in country music history, was tragically killed in an airplane crash in Camden, TN on March 5, 1963. She was 30 years old. Her last performance had occurred two days earlier in Kansas City, KS at a benefit for the family of a popular radio deejay who had died in an automobile mishap in January. Cline's plane was headed towards Nashville, TN. After a stopover in Dyersburg, TN, the plane, a small Piper Comanche, took off for the final leg of the journey at 6:07 p.m. It vanished about 15 minutes later. Three other performers--Cowboy Copas, Hankshaw Hawkins, and Randy Hughes (the pilot)--also perished. The airplane encountered severe storm conditions which almost certainly contributed to the crash. It was later learned that Hughes was not trained for instrument flying and was likely trying to make an emergency landing on a nearby highway. Instead the plane crashed nose-first into a remote forested area. The wreckage was discovered by a Cline fan early the next morning who had searched for it after hearing radio reports that Cline's plane had likely gone down. The crash site has changed very little in the five decades since Cline's untimely death. According to friends, Cline sensed her impending doom, and made comments as early as September 1962 that she didn't expect to live much longer. Shortly before her death, Cline gave away treasured personal belongings and hastily wrote her will.

Even though Marion Lorne had five decades of stage work on her resume, she didn't become widely famous as an actress until the last few years of her life. Her occasional role as the befuddled, forgetful, and utterly lovable Aunt Clara on the sitcom Bewitched made her a TV favorite. In her episodes on the show, Clara (who was one of Samantha Stevens' relatives, and thus a witch) would unintentionally cause chaos in the Stevens household with her inability to control her spell-casting powers. Lorne was awarded a well deserved Emmy for her role in 1968. Sadly, the award came posthumusly; she had died of a heart attack at age 82 a few weeks earlier. Elizabeth Montgomery accepted the Emmy on Lorne's behalf.

A first for them, as it was an inevitable attempt at tapping into being original, with the confident narrative details being brought about of not being clearly bitter about having one woman unable to break his swaddled heart.
Sure, most of you think it is timeless,and it did help them grow to be who they are today.
They went the extra mile since arriving in 1962 looking dapper, and due to that, it become the men's career launcher. And with today, it really still stands out as a lone number all in itself. The good thing about it then, it wasn't filled with the wrong message, unlike their other numbers that were yet to be heard. It still got a lot of succeeding attention that allowed it to reach a higher part of the chart (19). And the two undisciplined, partying partners, their attitudes would later toss them into the controversial world we would soon know them for. As well, being accountable for actions that in some ways made them dominate the scene even more then. As you'd expect, I bet some parents tucked away their liking for the boys from their own teens.
Nevertheless, I have it on good authority now, it's so tame to modern standards. You know that.*E*

Hubby better buy a Volkswagen because, as the text of this 1960s ad notes, it's a well known fact that "women are soft and gentle, but they hit things."

I'm not quite sure how this ad from the 1960s (I'm guessing) sells Microsheen Shoe Polish, but it certainly is eye-catching!
