The best-selling female singer during the 1950s, Patti Page in many ways defined the decade of earnest, novelty-ridden adult pop with throwaway hits like "The Doggie in the Window" and "I Went to Your Wedding." By singing a wide range of popular material and her own share of novelty fluff, she proved easily susceptible to the fall of classic adult pop but remained a chart force into the mid-'60s.

Born Clara Ann Fowler in Claremore, Oklahoma, she began singing professionally at a radio station in Tulsa and took weekend gigs on the side. (After being billed as Patti Page for a program sponsored by Page Milk, she decided to take the name even after leaving.) Page toured the country with a band led by Jimmy Joy and ended up in Chicago by 1947, where she sang in a small-group outing by Benny Goodman and gained a recording contract with Mercury. Her first hit, "Confess," came that same year and made her the first pop artist to overdub harmony vocals onto her own lead.

After a few more successes, Page gained her first million-seller in 1950 for "With My Eyes Wide Open I'm Dreaming," which cashed in on the novelty effect of overdubbing (the added touch came with listing it as "the Patti Page Quartet"). Also in 1950, "All My Love" became her first number one hit and spent several weeks at the top. That same year produced the biggest hit of her career, "The Tennessee Waltz." Notched at number one for months, it eventually became one of the best-selling singles of all time and prompted no less than six Top 40 covers during the following year.

During 1952 and 1953, Page scored two more huge hits with "I Went to Your Wedding" and "The Doggie in the Window," both of which spent more than two months at number one. She gained her own television program, The Patti Page Show, in 1955 and moved into full-lengths with In the Land of Hi Fi and Manhattan Tower.

Page also proved more resilient to the rise of rock & roll than most of her contemporaries, hitting big in 1956 with "Allegheny Moon" and "Old Cape Cod" the next year. Indeed, she kept reaching the charts (if only in moderate placings) throughout the '60s, paced by the Top Ten theme to the film Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte in 1965. Though she stopped recording for the most part in 1968, she continued performing into the '90s. Patti Page died on January 1, 2013, at a retirement community in Encinitas, California, at the age of 85. By John Bush https://www.allmusic.com/artist/patti-page-mn0000747506/biography

Joe Magnarelli - New York Osaka Junction

(7:27) 1. New York Osaka Junction
(5:58) 2. Lament For Lorraine
(8:29) 3. What's New
(5:22) 4. Cousin Joanne
(8:39) 5. These Foolish Things

(6:09) 8. The Wedding
(8:04) 9. The End Of A Love Affair

NYC is one of the most vibrant cities in the world, Osaka will arguably make the second place in that category.

Joe Magnarelli in the past made a couple "junction" albums but this could be the ultimate junction connecting the NY trumpeter with dynamic Osaka-born B-3 player Tsuruga. They are joined by the ace baritone player Gary Smulyan, sharing front line that will make it probably the first trumpet-baritone-organ band.

"Joe is known for his engaging, melodically-rich lines, and his powerhouse rhythm." - Zan Stewart https://www.prestomusic.com/jazz/products/9384822--new-york-osaka-junction

Personnel: Joe Magnarelli - Trumpet, Flugelhorn; Gary Smulyan - Baritone Saxophone; Akiko Tsuruga - Hammond B3 Organ; Rudy Royston Music - Drums
