Patsy Cline should not be confused with Patsy Kline, a top-flight bantamweight/featherweight from northern New Jersey; the careers of the two men overlapped in time. In fact, some people at the time got confused. The Harlem Patsy Cline had started his career as Patsy Kline but changed it under protest. [2]
