I spent 4 years living with my aunt and my two cousins back in the late 50's and early 60's. They were 10 years older than me and played this song of Patti Page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AkLE4X-bbU I always loved it. She was one of the greats.

She and Rosemary Clooney were my favorites from that era. Oh.....and Sarah Vaughan. Farewell, lovely lady, and thanks for the memories.

Ahh, Rosemary Clooney.

I still have my original 78 rpm record of Rosemary singing Come On-A My House!

I think my favorite of hers was from " White Christmas"....... It's called, " Love, You Didn't Do Right By Me". It's in a perfect key for me and I love to sing it. I love the words.

I was sorry to hear Patti Page Passed away.I really don't know a lot about her.I do remember the Tennessee Waltz. I guess I was mixing her up with Doris Day.Is Doris Day still alive? I guess I was in grade school when she was popular too.
