Walkin' After Midnight

Walking After Midnight was originally penned for Patsy Cline by songwriters Alan Block and Don Hecht. Legend has it that Cline was not overly enthusiastic about the song at first, but after her performance on Arthur Godfreys Talent Scouts in 1957, it became a smash hit, cementing Patsy Clines status as one of the finest female vocalists in country music. The song details the solitary journey of one walking at night, musing over their lost love an ... d hoping for reunion. See more [+]
