          There are many individuals that are blessed with artistic talents. I am sure that in order to make it in an artistic industry, no matter which kind it might be, a person must work their way up through the loops and so to speak, their talents be discovered. With Patsy this was also the case. She had to sing songs that were really not her favorites to start out, but nevertheless, her vocal talents were more than obvious when she sang. Patsy was told, "Just sing them your way." I'm sure she did, how else would she sing them?

          There seemed to be one particular song that was one of Patsy's personnal favorite's. That song was, "A Poor Man's Roses (or a Rich Man's Gold)." Below are the words to that song. I think that they help you get to know Patsy a bit better from the onset. Please read them carefully.



"A Poor Man's Roses"

I must make up my mind today
What to have or what to hold
A poor man’s roses or a rich man’s gold
One’s as wealthy as a king in a palace
Though he’s callous and cold
He may learn to give his heart for love,
Instead of buying it with gold
Then the poor man’s roses
And the thrill when we kiss
Will be memories of paradise
That I’ll never miss and yet
The hand that brings the rose tonight
Is the hand I will hold
For the rose of love means more to me
Than any rich man’s gold.
