I actually didn’t know any of those things about her but wow, I’m very impressed. Well except for I’ve heard “Crazy” before of course. Thank you for that bit/list of info. Always interesting to learn about new things and especially creatively speaking, such as music.

Patsy definitely was/is one of the greats. She has a bunch of songs you’ll recognize and if you delve into her catalog sometime, I’d be surprised if you didn’t emerge a fan.
