Patti Page
Clara Ann Fowler (November 8, 1927 – January 1, 2013), better known by her stage name Patti Page, was an American singer. Primarily known for pop and music, she was the top-charting female vocalist and best-selling female artist of the 1950s, selling over 100 million records during a six-decade-long career. She was often introduced as "the Singin' Rage, Miss Patti Page". New York WNEW disc-jockey William B. Williams introduced her as "A Page in my life called Patti".
May 19, 2023: Chicago Daily Herald: Ron Onesti: Sweet memories of Patti Page
In these days of high-speed internet and music downloads, it really doesn't take much to be an international superstar with the right creative packaging and financing behind you. Even with that kind of digital muscle, how difficult would it be to sell more than 100 million records featuring 1,000 songs, 111 hits and 15 gold albums?
As of yet, it's not even possible for a solo artist. One classy lady DID accomplish this miraculous feat -- and, for the most part, not by traveling in cyberspace, but by hitting the pavement, one town at a time. Oh, and by the way, it was on vinyl records she did it!
A decade ago, we lost Patti Page, "The Singing Rage," at the age of 85.

May 31, 2023: Acoustic Guitar: How to Play Bonnie Raitt’s Grammy-Winning Story-Song “Just Like That”
Though Bonnie Raitt is best known as an interpreter, putting her indelible stamp on songs like John Prine’s “Angel from Montgomery,” John Hiatt’s “Thing Called Love,” and Chris Smither’s “Love Me Like a Man,” she’s written some great songs along the way, too. Her writing came back into the spotlight last year with the release of Just Like That, which features (along with a few other originals) two stunning acoustic story-songs: the title track and “Down the Hall.”
