The Singin' Rage,
Miss Patti Page
Traditional Pop singer Clara Ann Fowler who went by the stage name Patti Page was the best selling female artist of the 1950's.
Starting with the 1948 hit "Confess", Patti Page was one of the first pop artists to overdub her own voice due to a strike that made background singers unavailable.
Her signature song, "The Tennessee Waltz", first recorded in 1950 was one of the best selling singles of the 20th century.
Patti Smith continued to top Pop charts through the mid-sixties and remained a chart topping performer in adult contemporary and country music into the early 1980's. Patti continued to perform, recording her first live album in 1998; Live at Carnegie Hall, and performed up until 2012. She passed away on January 1st, 2013.
