Patti Page
Clara Ann Fowler ("Patti Page") was born in Claremore, Oklahoma on November 8, 1927.
At the age of 18, sponsored by the Page Milk Company, she was a featured singer on radio and âThe Singing Rageâ became Patti Page.
In 1948 Patti first visited the Hit Parade with Confess, entering the top ten in 1950 with I Donât Care If the Sun Donât Shine and a few months later with With My Eyes Wide Open I'm Dreaming. Before the year was over, she had her first #1 chart topper with All My Love and the record that would sell more than 20 million singles, Tennessee Waltz.
