PATTI PAGE: THE NEW RECORDINGS
$ 12.95 $ 16.95
Patti Page sold over 100 million recordings worldwide but most fans probably remember her for her classic hits like "Tennessee Waltz,” “Allegheny Moon,” and novelty numbers.
It may surprise you to discover that Patti was also one hot jazz/blues singer extraordinaire with a set of pipes that garnered praise from the biggest stars of the genre like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan, who admired Patti's talent. (So did Elvis). Possessing a gorgeous contralto that's been described as a cross between that of Rosemary Clooney and Doris Day, Ms. Page had a very wide range. She could caress a tender melody with utmost ease, or wail on a siren song. Patti always had beautiful intonation and perfect pitch.
