It became one of his signature songs. Leon McAuliffe had two Top 40 hits with "Faded Love", both reaching #22 (Cimarron 4057, 1962, and MGM 14249, 1971). The latter rendition was a collaboration with Tompall & the Glaser Brothers. Also in 1962, it was a modest hit for Jackie DeShannon. The song had even greater success when Patsy Cline covered the song in 1963. Her version became a hit, reaching #7 on the U.S. Country charts and it reached #96 on the Pop charts. Due to the plane crash that ended Cline's life, it was never released on an album. Instead, it was released on Patsy Cline's Greatest Hits, a compilation album in 1967. Cline's version was originally intended to be the title cut yielded from what turned out to be the last recording sessions before her death.
