On the Eve of the 43rd Anniversary of Legendary Country Singer, Patsy Cline’s Tragic Death, Her Half-Sister Finally Breaks Her Silence
After many years of rumors and false information, Charlotte Brannon Bartles, has finally released a tell-all book “Patsy Cline: Our Father’s Other Daughter”, featuring the never before told story about the country music legend Patsy Cline, their mutual father (Chester “Chet” Brannon), and the unknown family.
Melbourne, FL (PRWEB) March 3, 2006 -- After many years of rumors and false information, Charlotte Brannon Bartles, has finally released a tell-all book “Patsy Cline: Our Father’s Other Daughter”, featuring the never before told story about the country music legend Patsy Cline, their mutual father (Chester “Chet” Brannon), and the unknown family. In setting the record straight, Charlotte hopes that this missing chapter from the other published biographies will help fans and friends know and understand the real Patsy as she fondly remembers her.
Patsy Cline, the legendary singer who died tragically on March 5, 1963 was Charlotte’s half-sister. Dating back to as early as the 1950’s, this secret has been well guarded within the immediate circle of family and friends located in the tri-state area of Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania. In breaking her silence, Charlotte states “If Patsy were still with us, I do believe the truth about our family would have already been revealed. She was a forthright person and never made any attempts to hide the fact that she had a special relationship with our father.”
Cited in numerous dates over the years, this book portrays Charlotte’s fond recollections of the times that Patsy would visit the Brannon household, whether it was for dinner and socializing or just a brief stop over before performing a local show. It’s important to her that people understand and recognize that Patsy and Chester had a relationship that was more than biological. They were father and daughter, knew each other well and spent time together. Chester was extremely supportive of Patsy, and loved her immensely.
The important fact is that sooner or later this story would be told but it needs to be told truthfully and as accurately as possible. If not, then the crazy rumors and misinformation will make the truth appear to be nothing more than folklore.
To learn more about this poignant and heartfelt memoir, tune in to “What’s Happening Brevard” (www.WhatsHappeningBrevard.com) on Friday, March 3 at 2:10 p.m. EST. Hosts Jackie McCoy and Susan Ramon will be doing a special live interview with Linda Sowers, co-author of the book.
