"This collection is a reissue of the classic compilation from 1960 entitled "Golden Hits" on Mercury which among its 12 songs are several of her signature songs including Tennessee Waltz, Doggie In The Window, Cross Over The Bridge, Changing Partners, Allegheny Moon and others from the early 1950s in their original form. Although the 2 volume "Patti Page Collection" and the boxed set "A Golden Celebration" are more comprehensive, this is still worth having for Patti Page on the go and this has been a perennial best seller since it was released in 1960. She would later sign with Columbia and come back with many more hits including "Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte" but to start with this is the cream of the crop and on this CD it includes "With My Eyes Wide Open I'm Dreaming" while the Millennium Collection is notable for restoring "Let Me Go Lover" back in print as the boxed set and Vol. 2 of the Patti Page Collection are now out of print."

ONE OF THE ALL-TIME GREATS!!

"BACK IN THE 50'S THIS GAL CROSSED OVER WITH HER COUNTRY INFLUENCE TO POP MUSIC.SHE NOT ONLY WAS VERY PRETTY AND SWEEET, BUT HER VOICE WAS SWEET TOO!JUST LISTEN TO "ALLEGHANY MOON" AND "OLD CAPE COD".SHE WAS ON A T-V PROGRAM CALLED "THE BIG RECORD" WHERE SHE PERFORMED TUNES LIKE "CROSS OVER THE BRIDGE",WHICH WAS A HUGE HIT! THESE WERE THE EARLY 50'S AND HER CONTEMPORARYS WERE SINGERS LIKE GALE STORM ("IVORY TOWER"), WHO SANG IN SIMILIAR STYLE, ALSO KITTY KALLEN, TERESA BREWER,PEGGY LEE ETC.IN THE 60'S SHE RETURNED WITH ANOTHER HIT SONG "HUSH, HUSH SWEET CHARLOTTE" FROM THE SCARY MOVIE WITH BETTE DAVIS.I RECOMMEND THIS C.D. HIGHLY AS THEY ARE THE ORIGINAL MERCURY RECORDINGS AND HAVE NEVER SOUNDED BETTER!"
