Way back in the early 1960s, country music was blessed with an incredible duet during one of the Grand Ole Opry’s famous PET Milk shows – and now, you too can enjoy this unforgettable piece of history!
Patsy Cline, who was known for her hit songs “Crazy,” “I Fall to Pieces,” and her then-recently-released single “She’s Got You” made a special appearance for the PET Milk Grand Ole Opry show on April 16th, 1962.
During her appearance, she was welcomed back to the stage for an impromptu duet with famed country crooner Bobby Lord – and boy did they make some great music!

Lord, who had experienced some chart success himself with hits like “Without Your Love” and “No More” before going on to host television shows and also authored a 1969 book Hit the Glory Road.
During this 1962 televised performance, the host complimented Lord on his “fine singing” and suggested that since both he and Cline were such great musicians that they saddle on up to the microphones and sing a little ditty together!
Patsy Cline sauntered on out with a beaming smile on her face and joined Lord front and center before suggesting they sing the timeless country ballad “(Remember Me) I’m The One Who Loves You.”
“I believe I can sing just a little bit of it – let’s try it, fellas,” Lord says, calling on his bandmates to strike up the tune.
With that, these two issued a truly magical duet that was a nearly-forgotten piece of Cline’s brilliant legacy – until now!
Tragically, Patsy Cline died in a plane crash just under a year later when the flight encountered inclement weather.
