(At this time I do not have the
info on tracks Roy worked on with Patti Page.
It could have been one or
both of the following releases on Mercury/Plantation)
Patti Page was one of pop music's leading singers
during the early 50s. Her
double-tracked vocals, highly innovative
at the time, translated into gigantic
commercial success. By the age of 19, Page
was working as a singer at a
Tulsa radio station, and she signed with
Mercury in 1948. Page's use of
multi-tracked vocals gave her a unique,
full sound, and in 1950 her
renditions of "All My Love" and "Tennessee
Waltz" were both pop
chart-toppers, the latter for a good three
months. "Mockin' Bird Hill"
(1951), "I Went to Your Wedding" (1952),
and "Doggie in the Window"
(1953) were only a few of her gold records
for Mercury, and she
persevered through the early rock era with
"Allegheny Moon" in 1956 and
"Old Cape Cod" the next year. Her last
major pop smash in 1965, "Hush,
Hush, Sweet Charlotte," was the theme song
to a popular movie. -- Bill
