Live: Patsy Cline - Walkin' After Midnight

Walkin' After Midnight
written by Alan Block and Donn Hecht
performed live by Patsy Cline with Owen Bradley (piano), Grady Martin and Hank Garland (guitars), and Bob Moore (off camera, bass) at WSM-TV, 5700 Knob Rd, Nashville TN on the "Top Of The Morning" show, May 1957.

There is great debate as to exactly where this "newly-re-discovered" clip originates. The popular view is that this comes from CBS's Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts, 21 January 1957. However, I have heard radio audio of what is also suppose to be this broadcast and it does not sound anything like what is heard here.

Here is an interesting tidbit pertaining to the song itself. It was written in 1954 specifically for Kay Starr, who turned it down. Patsy didn't care for it either but, recorded it to appease Four Star, who owned the publishing and her contract. The rest, as they say...
