Each artist paid tribute to the legends who came before them. Some even performed using the very instruments once played by their heroes. But Reba McEntire didn\u2019t need a guitar or a fiddle to leave an impact. She stood alone under a single spotlight and delivered a chilling, a cappella rendition of \u201cSweet Dreams\u201d\u2014a song immortalized by Patsy Cline.<\/p>\n

A Song With a Deep History and Deeper Emotions<\/p>\n

Originally written and recorded by Don Gibson in 1955, \u201cSweet Dreams\u201d became more widely known through Faron Young. But it was Patsy Cline\u2019s haunting 1963 version, released after her untimely death, that turned the song into a timeless country ballad. It climbed to #5 on the Hot Country Songs chart and later inspired the 1985 biopic Sweet Dreams, starring Jessica Lange.<\/p>\n
