Book Reviews of Honky Tonk Angel: The Intimate Story of Patsy Cline

Book Review: Kevin Morgan
Summary: 5 Stars

WOW !!!! I could not put this Book down !!! I have always loved Patsy Cline's music. I never knew much about her. While searching through Amazon for new books, I found this Book. I was excited to get it. I started reading it and again, I could not put it down. The main thing I really did get from this Book, was the fact it was not always happy for the Stars. Behind those smiles, people still have problems just like us. Mr. Nassour has really brought all of this out in this Book. The wording was easy for me to read too. The Pictures were Great !!
This is an excellent Book for anyone to add to their Libary !!!Honky Tonk Angel: The Intimate Story of Patsy Cline

Summary of Honky Tonk Angel: The Intimate Story of Patsy Cline

Earthy, sexy, and vivacious, the life of beloved country singer, Patsy Cline, who soared from obscurity to international fame to tragic death in just thirty short years, is explored in colorful and poignant detail. An innovator-and even a hell-raiser-Cline broke all the boys' club barriers of Nashville's music business in the 1950s and brought a new Nashville sound to the nation with her pop hits and torch ballads like "Walking After Midnight,"?"I Fall to Pieces" and "Crazy." She is the subject of a major Hollywood movie and countless articles, and her albums are still selling?45 years after her death. Ellis Nassour was the very first to write about Cline and did so?with the?cooperation of?the?stars who knew and loved her-including Jimmy Dean, Jan Howard, Brenda Lee, Loretta Lynn,?Roger Miller, Dottie West, and Faron Young.?He was the only writer to interview Cline's mother and husbands. This updated edition features not only a complete discography and a host of never-before-published photographs, but includes an afterword that details controversial claims about her birth, the battle between Cline's siblings for her possessions, the amazing influence Cline had on a new generation of singers?and, in?Cline's own words from letters to a devoted friend, her excitement as her career soared to new heights and?her marriage descended to new depths.
