Clara Ann Fowler (November 8, 1927 January 1, 2013), better known by her stage name Patti Page, was an American singer. She was the top-charting female vocalist and best-selling female artist of the 1950s, selling over 100 million records during a six-decade-long career. In 1950, she had her first million-selling single "With My Eyes Wide Open, I'm Dreaming", and eventually had 14 additional million-selling singles between 1950 and 1965. Page's signature song, "Tennessee Waltz", was one of the biggest-selling singles of the 20th century, and is recognized today as one of the official songs of the state of Tennessee. It spent 13 weeks atop the Billboard's bestsellers list in 1950/51. Page had three additional number-one hit singles between 1950 and 1953. The album back cover states Patti Page has a magic voice that instantly creates a mood of romance, happiness or heartache. She has done it over and over again, in hit after melodious hit. In fact, when Patti has a success like Doggie in the Window or Tennessee Waltz, it is so popular that it sells not in the millions but in the multimillions. Tennessee Waltz was one of the greatest record sellers of all time. What's the secret of Patti's universal appear? First and Foremost it is her wonderfully sincere singing style. Combine that with her gift for picking just the right songs, and the magic begins--Number One smash hits line With My Eyes Wide Open I'm Dreaming, Changing Partners, or I went to Your Wedding. Detour was a great Country and Western hit, and who can forget the Number One Allegheny Moon. There's magic, too, in the multi-track recording technique which allows Patti to sing duets with herself, like a one-woman choir of angels, and create the unforgettable sounds of Mockin' Bird Hill, Old Cape Cod and Cross Over the Bridge. Patti Page is credited with being the first recording artist to use multiple-voice recording in the industry. "The best-selling female singer during the 1950s, Patti Page in many ways defined the decade of earnest, novelty-ridden adult pop with throwaway hits like "The Doggie in the Window" and "I Went to Your Wedding." By singing a wide range of popular material and her own share of novelty songs, she proved easily susceptible to the fall of classic adult pop but remained a chart force into the mid-'60s. Born Clara Ann Fowler in Claremore, Oklahoma, she began singing professionally at a radio station in Tulsa and took weekend gigs on the side. (After being billed as Patti Page for a program sponsored by Page Milk, she decided to take the name even after leaving.) Page toured the country with a band led by Jimmy Joy and ended up in Chicago by 1947, where she sang in a small-group outing by Benny Goodman and gained a recording contract with Mercury. Her first hit, "Confess," came that same year and made her the first pop artist to overdub harmony vocals onto her own lead. After a few more successes, Page gained her first million-seller in 1950 for "With My Eyes Wide Open I'm Dreaming," which cashed in on the novelty effect of overdubbing (the added touch came with listing it as "the Patti Page Quartet"). Also in 1950, "All My Love" became her first number one hit and spent several weeks at the top. That same year produced the biggest hit of her career, "The Tennessee Waltz." Notched at number one for months, it eventually became one of the best-selling singles of all time and prompted no less than six Top 40 covers during the following year. During 1952 and 1953, Page scored two more huge hits with "I Went to Your Wedding" and "The Doggie in the Window," both of which spent more than two months at number one. She gained her own television program, The Patti Page Show, in 1955 and moved into full-lengths with In the Land of Hi Fi and Manhattan Tower. Page also proved more resilient to the rise of rock & roll than most of her contemporaries, hitting big in 1956 with "Allegheny Moon" and "Old Cape Cod" the next year. Indeed, she kept reaching the charts throughout the '60s, paced by the Top Ten theme to the film Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte in 1965. Though she stopped recording for the most part in 1968, she continued performing into the '90s. Patti Page died on January 1, 2013, at a retirement community in Encinitas, California, at the age of 85." ~ John Bush. Autographed Album cover with phonograph record inside.
