Together they stood up to venues shortchanging female singers and put their foot down with demanding managers. Instead of competing against each other, they forged a friendship. They leaned on each other while balancing touring and raising children, writing songs and making dinner. They were taking on the industry together, and they seemed to be winning when, on March 5, 1963, Patsy's plane went down just outside Nashville. That day, Loretta's life as she'd known it stopped, and she's spent the rest of her career trying to honor her friend and what they started all those years ago. -inside cover ER -
