Written by Hank Cochran and Harlan Howard, 'I Fall to Pieces' was Cline's first number-one hit on the Country charts, and her second hit single to cross over onto the Pop charts. Cline's invitation to join the Grand Ole Opry as a regular cast member can be partially attributed to this single's remarkable success. 'I Fall to Pieces' is a single released by Patsy Cline in 1961, and was featured on her 1961 studio album, Showcase. The hit had the slowest chart ascension and one of the slowest chart descensions ever. We knew we had magic in the can when, on the fourth take, every grown man in that studio was bawling like a baby and Bradley said `That's the one.'"Ĭline personally requested this song from Howard and Cochran, and the tune helped in her pop-country crossover. But the amazing thing was, once Patsy got into the groove, she just caressed those lyrics and that melody so tenderly that it was just like satin. So, it had to be the shuffle then, like it or not. We were trying all kinds of other (basic rhythm) combinations, but they all just laid there and bled all over the floor. "On the night of the session, we absolutely did NOT want to do the standard 4:4 shuffle that had by then been done to death.
Howard assisted the recording process, quoted saying, Howard came over the next day to write it with Cochran, and the song became one of Cline's most recognizable singles. When Howard was in California, another writer, Hank Cochran, thought of the song title one night. Few can say they wrote for Patsy Cline, and even fewer can say they penned a country standard.
