She recorded hits faster then the middle of the New York Yankees batting order A special treat. --The Washington Post

Product Description

This classic DVD takes a sentimental journey with The Singing Rage, Miss Patti Page, the best-selling female vocalist of all time. This stunning collection of the world's original music videos shows off the lovely Patti Page in all her elegance and vocal purity. The DVD features Page performing eighteen of her greatest hits, including How Much Is That Doggie In The Window? and Tennessee Waltz, showcasing the Patti Page Sound which can be both warm and fiery hot, religious in feeling, but also provocative. But whether happy, melancholy or brazen, it is always real!

'a key figure in the evolution of pop music' New York Times

In a world overflowing with musical imitators, The Singing Rage, Miss Patti Page remains an original! Patti Page has released over 80 albums and 157 singles (with sales of over 70,000,000), an astounding 110 of which reached the Billboard charts. A musical pioneer, she was the first to record with the now-standard overdubbing process, singing lead and background vocals. She was also the first artist to become a 'crossover' sensation, dominating the Pop and Country charts simultaneously, and she is the only musical performer in history to have her own weekly series on all three networks.

1. How Much Is That Doggie In The Window?

This review is from: The PATTI PAGE Video Songbook (DVD)

All are original videos from the 50's and 60's. It is a pity that the most well-known hit Changing Partners is not included, otherwise this DVD deserves 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Patti Page America's Favorite Female Vocalist of the 1950's in Performances from The Era, September 21, 2008

By 

Tee (LA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The PATTI PAGE Video Songbook (DVD)

Patti Page was by far the most popular female vocalist in America during the 1950's, the undisputed queen of pop. Even when rock n'roll came along midway in the decade, Patti and her smooth, easy-listening style remained as popular and beloved as ever. In addition to her seemingly endless string of best-selling records, she was on television constantly and for some time had her own variety show. This DVD THE PATTI PAGE VIDEO SONGBOOK (like the other Patti DVD PATTI PAGE SINGS THE HITS) appears to be a compilation of numbers from her program, with the individual song numbers clipped from various episodes rather than full programs. The good news is this collection of 18 performances is completely different from those on PATTI PAGE SINGS THE HITS dvd (the only songs that overlap are "How Much is That Doggie in the Window" and "Mister and Mississippi" which are sung as part of a melody on the other DVD whereas here they are performed in complete versions.) And this DVD contains Patti's signature hit THE TENNESSEE WALTZ which would seem a "must" for any Patti DVD. The print quality of the film used for this DVD is also notably better as well.

Some of the song performances seem to predate music videos with Patti performing them in a setting (ie: a set pet shop for "How Much is That Doggie"..) while others are performed with her simply standing on stage. Thoroughout them all Patti is beautiful and beautifully gowned, looking and singing like a million dollars. Her ladylike demeanor and quiet charm bring back happy memories of an era when all was not loud and brash in show business. Her best loved hits "Doggie" and "Tennessee" may be the standouts here but everything is fine and other highlights include the countryish "Oklahoma Blues" and the jazzy "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans". This DVD is an excellent showcase of one of the classic pop singers at the peak of her career.
