Willie Nelson was too shy to get out of the car.
He drove to Patsy Cline's house with a new song, but stayed parked by the curb while a friend brought the demo inside. His singing didn't win Patsy over. She went ahead and recorded it anyway, and "Crazy" eventually earned the title of America's most played jukebox hit ever.
Kitty Wells had cleared the path in 1952 as the first woman to reach No. 1 on the country charts solo. Patsy followed right in her footsteps, then became a mentor in her own right to Loretta Lynn, a young coal miner's daughter.
Dolly Parton, who passed away this August, penned "I Will Always Love You" to bid farewell to her mentor Porter Wagoner. Elvis wanted to record the song himself, but Dolly wouldn't surrender half the rights.
Hearing George Strait's first single on the radio in 1981 gave Garth Brooks a vision for his own future. In 2008, it was Garth's turn to welcome Carrie Underwood into the Grand Ole Opry.
Willie Nelson, at 93, delivered another album this year and took to the road all summer.
