Patti Page, the topselling female artist of the 1950s with more than 100 million records sold, died on January 3rd, 2017, when she was 86. She was one of the most beloved singers of the postwar era. Take her The Tennessee Waltz for example, it sold more than 10 million copies and was her biggest hit.
Born in Claremore, Oklahoma, a small town near Tulsa, Page originally dreamed of a career in commercial art. Her first job in the art department at a local radio station soon led to performing on her own 15minute program.
At age 20, Page was discovered by bigband leader Jack Rael, who quit his job to become her manager. In 1948, she signed her first recording contract with Mercury Records and two years later enjoyed her first hit record. She stayed with Mercury for the next 14 years and recorded hit after hit including With My Eyes Wide Open, I'm Dreaming and Old Cape Cod.
Her last hit was Hush…Hush, Sweet Charlotte, recorded for the Bette Davis' movie of the same name. And then, there was Doggie in the Window. The creative tune was a huge hit, but with its repeated barking sounds and silly lyrics(歌词), the song has been used by many people as an example of all that was wrong with pop music in the early 1950s.
