Patti Page

Clara Ann Fowler , known by her professional name Patti Page, was an American singer of traditional pop music. She was the topcharting female vocalist and bestselling female artist of the 1950s, selling over 100 million records during a six decade long career. She was often introduced as the Singin Rage, Miss Patti Page. New York WNEW discjockey William B. Williams introduced her as A Page in my life called Patti.

Page was born Clara Ann Fowler on November 8, 1927, in Claremore, Oklahoma into a large and poor family. Her father, B.A. Fowler, worked on the MKT railroad, while her mother, Margaret, and older sisters picked cotton. As she related on television many years later, the family went without electricity, and therefore she could not read after dark. She was raised in Foraker, Hardy, Muskogee and Avant, Oklahoma, before attending Daniel Webster High School in Tulsa, from which she graduated in 1945.
