Loretta Lynn thought news of Patsy Cline’s death was ‘baloney’
They were the best of friends until March 1963. And in her memoir, Lynn recalled the phone call she received when 30-year-old Cline died. “Baloney,” she told the caller. “Her and me’s going shopping.”
She hung up the phone, still not believing what she’d heard. But then news of the plane crash came over the radio, and she knew it was confirmed that Cline’s plane went down. “I’d lost the best friend I’d ever had,” Lynn wrote.
