Patti Page America's Favorite Female Vocalist of the 1950's

(5 out of 5 stars)

"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."

I love Patti Page!

"When I worked in a nursing home, we had this video for the residents to enjoy, I have wanted it formyself for years! I love this video, it is very "vintage" meaning you will feel like you are watching it on an old black and white TV. If you want hi def, super awsome sound quality, go somewhere else. But if you love her music and want to watch her sing, this is great! My kids are very young, 5 and 2 and we watch this all the time!"
