On this day January 21, 1957

Patsy Cline made her debut appearance on Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts TV show in New York City. The day of the show, she met with the show’s producer Janette Davis. Cline had chosen “A Poor Man’s Roses (Or a Rich Man’s Gold)” to perform on the program, but Davis preferred “Walkin’ After Midnight”. Cline initially refused to perform it, but ultimately agreed to it. Davis also suggested Cline wore a cocktail dress instead of the cowgirl outfit created by her mother. Cline won the program’s contest that night.
