Patti Page本名為Clara Ann Fowler,是1950年代的美國當紅歌手。2013年1月在加州(California)病逝,享年85歲。
成名曲包括《The Tennessee Waltz》、《How Much is that Doggie in the Window?》。
我很喜歡"Moon River"這首歌,非常多歌手翻唱過,這首原唱者是Jerry Butler,但似乎是翻唱者比較出名,Patti Page也包括在翻唱者名單內;
"Moon River"這首歌甚至在奧黛麗赫本主演的 " Breakfast at Tiffanys " 電影裡也成為主題曲,經典不過。
以下兩支影片是Patti Page及奧黛麗赫本翻唱"Moon River"的版本:

The Tennessee Waltz - singer Patti Page 1950
The Tennessee Waltz
Patti Page
Written:Redd Stewart/Pee Wee King
I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one
And while they were dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
How Much Is That Doggie In The Window - Patti Page
I must take a trip to California
And leave my poor sweetheart alone
If he has a dog, he won't be lonesome
And the doggie will have a good home
How much is that doggie in the window?
The one with the waggly tail
How much is that doggie in the window?
I do hope that doggie is for sale
I read in the papers, there are robbers
With flash lights that shine in the dark
My love needs a doggie to protect him
And scare them away with one bark
I don't want a bunny or a kitty
I don't want a parrot that talks
I don't want a bowl of little fishies
You can't take a goldfish for walks
How much is that doggie in the window?
The one with the waggly tail
How much is that doggie in the window?
I do hope that doggie is for sale
