In 1961, Patsy Cline recorded the classic Willie Nelson song, "Crazy." At the time, she was still on crutches after going through a car windshield in a head-on collision two months earlier and had difficulty reaching the high notes of the song at first due to her broken ribs. "Crazy" spent 21 weeks on the chart and eventually became one of her signature tunes.
