Clara Ann Fowler (1927–2013), universally known as Patti Page, was one of the best-selling female artists of the 1950s, defining the era with her warm, smooth, and instantly recognizable voice.
A pioneer in the music industry, Page was the first artist to successfully employ the technique of multi-track recording, effectively harmonizing with herself—a sound that became her signature style. This innovation was famously showcased in her breakthrough 1950 hit, “Tennessee Waltz,” which became one of the biggest-selling records of the 20th century. Her repertoire spanned country, pop standards, and novelties, leading to other enduring classics such as “Doggie in the Window” and “Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte.”
Patti Page’s extensive career made her a fixture on radio, television, and record charts for decades, solidifying her status as “The Singing Rage.” Take a look at these vintage photos featuring lovely portraits of a young Patti Page.
