'''''A Portrait of Patsy Cline''''' is a 1964 [[compilation album]] containing lesser-known recordings by American [[country music]] singer [[Patsy Cline]]. It was released on June 15, 1964, on [[Decca Records]], and would later be reissued twice by Decca's successor, [[MCA Records]].<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
''A Portrait'' contained Patsy Cline's less-familiar recordings, including country and pop standards. The album's highlights includes her cover versions of "Faded Love" and "Blue Moon of Kentucky".<ref>{{cite web|url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r92014|pure_url=yes}}|title=''A Portrait of Patsy Cline'' album review|last=Bedard|first=George|website=[[allmusic]]|accessdate=2008-09-29}}</ref><br />
''A Portrait of Patsy Cline'' would be one of a string of posthumous released Decca and later MCA records would release. It was released a little over a year after Cline was killed in a [[plane crash]]. The album spawned three singles that were released to country radio between 1963 and 1964: "Faded Love," (which was a Top ten hit), "When You Need a Laugh" and "Your Kinda Love".<br />
<br />
In 1973, the album was reissued by MCA Records (Decca's successor), then digitally remastered and reissued on CD/LP/Cassette in 1988. It was also released in the UK by [[Brunswick Records]] in 1964, as well as [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]] by [[Festival Records]] the same year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.patsycline.info/records/dl-74508.html|title=''A Portrait of Patsy Cline'' album profile|website=patsycline.info|accessdate=2014-09-22}}</ref> The album was one of two Patsy Cline albums released by Decca Records in 1964.
