August 21, 201412 yr Nazareth Love Hurts over the Roy Orbison version... Had no idea that was a Roy Orbison song
August 21, 201412 yr Patsy was the cover. Was the cover better than the original? Actually, I heard an interview with him where he talked very specifically about the song. He wrote it with the intent of selling it to someone for profit, and ended up selling it to Patsy's husband who begged her into recording it (she didn't like the song initially). On that basis, it's kind of debatable as to whether or not it would be a "cover song". Interesting trivia question. Anyone know what the original lyric was for the song rather than the titular word "crazy"? In the same interview as the one referenced above, Willie said that the original lyric had been "stupid" rather than "crazy", but after trying to sell it to a couple of singers previous to Patsy, he decided the word needed to be changed because they had all said "stupid" sounded bad.
