Notes

Patti Page's conquest of music lovers around the world was inevitable. Nowhere will you find a talent such as hers and nowhere will you find a voice quite like hers. She has a world of feeling, depth, sincerity and warmth which few singers possess, yet she also has another quality which is perhaps even more important to a singer-the ability to communicate to an audience and make them feel her every mood, whim and fancy. When Patti Page sings you know it - everyone knows it. You immediately get the feeling that here is something good something above average and you and everyone else sits and listens.

Along with this ability to sing like an angel, Patti has another trait that labels her among the greatest of our time. This trait is the remarkable ability to sing songs from every field. She sings pop tunes, show tunes, rock and roll, jazz, sacred songs, and even country and western songs. In this album you'll find Patti displaying her talent in the latter field of country and western tunes, and what tunes they are. The twelve selections included herein are all hand-picked for their popularity and their appeal musically. These are the "golden hits" from this area of music and these tunes have all sold over a million copies each when they were first released. Each one of these tunes have stood the test of time and have become immortal in the annals of country and western music and will live forever.

Patti comes by her flair for singing this type of music by virtue of her background. She was discovered by her manager, Jack Rael, while she was singing on a radio program in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Within an hour she was under contract to Rael, and within six months she was featured vocalist on the Don McNeill "Breakfast Club" program over ABC's coast:-to-coast network. Patti's rise to fame was gradual but steady, and each year saw Patti gain more and more stature. She was,featured on her own TV show and she recorded scores of hits for Mercury including the phenomenal number of ten records which sold over the coveted "Gold Record" mark of one million copies. This record is unmatched by any other female vocalist. In fact, her recording of the "Tennessee Waltz" which is country-western flavored, sold well over four million copies and is still selling today. Here then is an album which is destined to become the favorite in your record collection and done by a gal who is the greatest in her field, the singing rage, Miss Patti Page.

For best results, be sure your two loudspeakers and amplifiers are correctly balanced in terms of output and phase, and that the loudspeakers are placed in rooms so as to provide and even "spread of sound" from one to the other.
