"Willie's career in the national spotlight extends back past the 60s and into the 50s *if* you count his contributions as a songwriter, not just as a performer. In fact, some of his greatest and best-know compositions date back to those earliest days. (E.g., "Crazy," recorded by Patsy Cline.)"

Wrong again, Poppa Gator.

Willie wrote "Crazy" for Patsy Cline in 1961. The newly released CD of his demos has the 1961 demo that Patsy heard.
