..........it!
My mother was born in Oklahoma too (same county as Reba McEntire).
“Old Cape Cod” was my favorite.
What a set of pipes.
Remember her name on the Vegas billboard in “Godfather”.
“Doesn’t anyone remember her “How Much is that Doggie in the Window?””
Oh, yes. I was about 5 years old (I don’t remember that part, Wiki says 1953). I do remember singing it walking from the school bus stop to my house after school, and at times in the yard around the house. It must have been played on the radio. It would still come back, at unpredictable times over the years, even a few months ago I think. Maybe when playing with my dog??? (Or I am beyond the bend.)
Lots better remembering those days than the last few.
That’s the song that has been stuck in my head since I heard. It was my favorite song in those days.
I miss those days I never knew. ;-)
I had never heard that until I got my mother the big ‘50s compilation set. Nice song. Actually, I never knew anything she did outside Doggie and Waltz.
RIP Patty, got five or six of her songs on my Ipod I listen to on my daily walks, the fifties was my teenage years and my music is mostly from that time classic country, little doo-wop and blues, it was our time and the best of time, in some ways I have returned to that time, as the present time don’t seem to agree with me to much, both music and politic.
A little nostalgia some time help to sooth the troubled harth. soon all the great ones from that time are gone, and so little to replace them.
Patti Page, at the top when talent counted. RIP
“Tennessee Waltz” was my dad’s favorite song and always reminds me of him when I here it. It was the only “favorite” he ever had...by Patti Page, of course.
“How Much Is That Doggie” was sung what seemed like 10 years on the old TV show “Your Hit Parade”. They had trouble coming up with a set for the song each time as I recall.
