People reflect on the pop country classic Crazy, made famous by Patsy Cline

People of different ages reflect on the pop country classic Crazy, made famous by Patsy Cline, and what the song means to them.

People of different ages reflect on why the pop country classic Crazy, made famous by Patsy Cline, brings out such strong emotions in them, including a young woman mourning the loss of a father's love after divorce, broadcaster Fiona Phillips on losing her father to Alzheimers and 87-year-old Wayne Rethford who, as a young man in 1961, met Patsy Cline and two years later happened upon the crash site where she died after her plane came down in a heavy storm in Tennessee.

The Documentary: Soul Music

People share stories about music that has changed their lives.

Music brings meaning to our lives. From first breath to last rites music is there, helping us to deal with our emotions and reflect on our experiences. Be it solace or celebration, grief, love, lost youth or contented aging, we find ourselves reflected in the music we love and share.

In Soul Music we take a piece of music and talk to people for whom it has a special place in their lives.
