Born
Clara
Anne
Fowler
in
Tulsa,
Oklahoma,
Patti
Page
received
her
first
break
while
in
high
school
when
she
performed
on
Tulsa
station
KTUL.
The
Page
Milk
Company
sponsored
the
radio
program
which
gave
rise
to
her
professional
singing
name
Patti
Page.
Patti
relocated
to
Chicago
where
she
was
then
offered
a
recording
contract
and
for
the
first
time
in
musical
history,
the
record
label
listed
the
singers
as
“Patti
Page,
Patti
Page,
Patti
Page
and
Patti
Page”
on
a
release.
It
created
a
great
stir
since
it
was
one
of
the
first
multi-track
vocal
recordings,
in
which
Patti
appeared
to
be
singing
duets
with
herself.
Throughout
the
1950s
Patti
Page
sold
more
records
than
any
other
female
vocalist
but
admittedly
the
majority
of
her
hits
were
“novelty”
numbers
(“The
Doggie
In
The
Window”,
“Mister
And
Mississippi”,
“Mockingbird
Hill”
etc)
and
critics
often
dismissed
her
ability,
failing
to
recognise
that
given
a
“standard”
tune
Patti
was
a
more
than
capable
singer.
As
the
majority
of
her
hits
can
be
found
on
recent
compilations
we
have
featured
recordings
from
her
“earlier”
period
including
the
very
rare
“What
Every
Woman
Knows”,
possibly
her
first
78
for
Mercury,
and
a
fair
number
of
standards
that
have
not
appeared
on
CD
before.
Patti
won
her
first
Grammy
Award
in
1999
and
still
performs
today
sounding
as
good
as
she
was
in
these
recordings
from
over
fifty
years
ago.
