Patti Page was easily the most popular female singer in the U.S. for first half of the 1950s, and she continued to generate chart entries into the early 1960s even after rock & roll had forever changed the radio and music business. This succinct anthology contains 19 selected tracks she recorded between 1947 and 1962 during her long tenure with Chicago’s Mercury Records, and while it doesn’t include “Tennessee Waltz” or her other biggest hits, it still makes for a nice portrait of a likeable and professional pop singer.
