Who was Patsy Cline’s best friend?
Patsy Cline’s best friend was lost, Loretta. According to reports, we lost Loretta Lynn recently and many people don’t know what great friends she was with Patsy Cline. Cline was almost back home in Nashville when the little plane crashed, just 2.5 miles north of Camden in 1963. Loretta was new to Nashville and became very close to Cline, who was her mentor and best pal.
Loretta Lynn was an American country music singer and songwriter. In a career spanning six decades, Lynn released multiple gold albums. She had numerous hits such as: “I’m a Honky Tonk Girl”, “Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin'”, “One’s on the Way”, “Fist City”, and “Coal Miner’s Daughter”.
Lynn was born Loretta Webb in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky, on April 14, 1932. She was the oldest daughter and second child born to Clara Marie “Clary” and Melvin Theodore “Ted” Webb. Ted was a coal miner and subsistence farmer. The family claims Cherokee heritage but they are not recognized by or members of a tribe. She was named after the film star Loretta Young.
Lynn began singing in local clubs in the late 1950s. She later formed her own band, the Trailblazers which included her brother Jay Lee Webb. Lynn won a wristwatch in a televised talent contest in Tacoma, Washington, hosted by Buck Owens. Lynn’s performance was seen by Canadian Norm Burley of Zero Records, who co-founded the record company after hearing Loretta sing.
