VIDEO: LEANN RIMES REMINDS AMERICAN COUNTRY AWARDS AUDIENCE OF COUNTRY TRADITION WITH STUNNING TRIBUTE TO PATSY CLINE

If there was one moment in the American Country Awards last night that silenced a room and made everyone remember that the title of this show included the word "COUNTRY", it was the stunning tribute to the late Patsy Cline by LeAnn Rimes.What an emotional part of this show. It was not only wonderful to see tribute paid to one of the great voices of country, but to see it paid by another one of the great voices of our time, LeAnn. The spotlight shines again on LeAnn, but this time for the right reasons, her amazing voice and talent. It's nice to see her back where she belongs, doing what she was born to do. Thank you LeAnn for the reminder that country was founded on tradition and for bringing the audience a shining example of that tradition. It may have been a short performance, but it will continue to resonate with country fans for a long time.
