Sentimentally Yours was country legend Patsy Cline’s final album before her untimely death in an air crash. Includes the US top twenty hit single She’s Got You. It is a tragedy that she would be unable to release more albums of this quality. (US:73)
“Here you’ll find a collection of some of the most beautiful and everlasting popular songs of our time, performed in the distinctively warm and irresistibly charming vocal style of Patsy Cline.”
“Patsy just oozed class and her haunting vocals caress these songs beautifully. The song that stands out for me is Lonely Street. It has a theme that many can relate to, as they look for their hideaway from this cruel world when their heart is broken.”
“Not much needs to be said about this album except that it is the perfect blend of country blues and pop sophistication. It is one of the finest examples of crossover appeal and has something for everybody. She’s Got You was the hit single from the album. Patsy’s phrasing on this torch ballad is impeccable. Sentimentally Yours makes a strong introduction to the artistry of Patsy Cline.”
“Sentimentally Yours is by all accounts a classic - not only of American country music of the early 1960s, but also of the middle-of-the-road pop music of the same era. In fact, Patsy Cline straddled the lines between country and pop better than perhaps any other singer.”
“I could listen to Patsy for hours. She was the greatest. She had a way of making you feel what she was feeling. When she sang you could share the feeling of pain of lost love, happiness, or any of the emotions in her songs.”
“Numerous later female country singers have singled out Patsy Cline as a major influence, and this particular album shows just why she had the impact she did, even in a short career. She sounds convincing and honest, but never overworks the selling of a song. A true country classic. Treat yourself to an era gone by, but one worth repeating.”
