Patti PagePatti Page, born Clara Ann Fowler on November 8, 1927, in Claremore, Oklahoma, was an influential American country-pop singer whose career spanned six decades until her death in 2013. Known as the top-charting female vocalist of the 1950s, she sold over 100 million records, with hits including her signature song "Tennessee Waltz," which became a major commercial success and solidified her position in pop and country music. Page's ability to blend country styles into her pop songs contributed to her crossover appeal, allowing her to chart in five separate decades, and she received a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award posthumously in 2013.
