As part of MCA's 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection, the 12-track Best of Patti Page disc highlights the pop crooner's best-known material originally released on Mercury in the '50s. Among the 12 tracks are the number one singles "Tennessee Waltz,"

Guitarist Tuck Andress and vocalist Patti Cathcart created a bit of a stir with this set, their debut recording. Patti's powerful folk singing and Tuck's self-sufficient guitar make for a very appealing duet on such numbers as Bob Dorough's

16 Most Requested Songs is a midline-priced collection that spotlights many of Patti Page's best-known and most popular performances for Columbia Records, including "Tennessee Waltz," "Green, Green Grass of Home," "Scarlet Ribbons (For Her Hair),"

Patti Austin is well qualified to record an album in the style of Ella Fitzgerald, having spent her career shadowing the paths taken by Fitzgerald and her contemporaries. Although she has worked in R&B-oriented adult pop much of the time, she is clearly in the tradition of Fitzgerald, and in...

For this enjoyable set, guitarist Tuck Andress and singer Patti Cathcart perform a wide-ranging program of material, falling between jazz, folk and pop. Highlights include Lennon & McCartney's "Honey Pie," Dori Caymmi's "Like a Lover," "On a Clear...

For just the second time in their career, Tuck & Patti offer an album that contains only original material. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that Chocolate Moment is the first release on their own label. Equally likely is that, as with many other artists, their creativity was...

Intimate Patti Austin draws mainly from 1981's Every Home Should Have One, 1985's Gettin' Away with Murder, 1988's The Real Me, and 1990's Love Is Gonna Getcha, with detours into the singer's appearances on Sadao Watanabe's Front Seat and Quincy Jones'...

In the early '50s, while her singles smashes like "The Tennessee Waltz" and "(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window" were breaking sales records, Patti Page was also recording many LPs, then a firm fixture of the adult market. The Sepia collection Sings You Go to My...

Patti Austin enjoyed good chart action and radio airplay with this mid-'80s release. A pair of singles, "Hot! In the Flames of Love" and "Star Struck," got both R&B and dance attention, while the album had some other competent up-tempo material and a couple of good...

The idea of dedicating a disc to classic romantic songs can be a risky venture for any artist. The results can either be as warm and homey as a freshly baked dessert, or as sticky and gooey as leftover Valentine's candy in June. Luckily, Tuck & Patti's A Gift of Love falls in the...

A staple of pop, R&B and jazz over the past thirty years, this impossibly versatile singer's 16 album career during that time rolls like a fascinating journey through those genres while also drawing wisdom and inspiration on occasion from The Great American Songbook. Avant Gershwin,...

The correct title for this generically named budget compilation should be Patti Page's Last Ten Greatest Hits, because that's what it contains: ten tracks, each of which made the Top 25, all but one of them between late 1955 and mid-1958. The exception is Page's 1965 Top Ten hit...

In 1952, already an established hitmaker, Patti Page took on television as a regular on the summer show #Music Hall, which was broadcast live for 15 minutes on Tuesdays and Thursdays right after the news on CBS. This led to a berth on the weekly half-hour series #Scott Music Hall, which ran...

This two-fer from Collectables features a pair of out of print Patti Page LPs: Say Wonderful Things and Love After Midnight, issued in 1963 and 1964, respectively, and originally released on Columbia. These albums zero in on easy listening versions of standards from the songbooks of Sammy Cahn,...

The third effort from this duo has a mix of originals (three tunes by Patti) and fine versions of songs by Stevie Wonder, Bernstein/Sondheim, Jimmy Cliff, J.B. Lenoir and jazz artist Horace Silver among others. As usual, all you'll hear is Tuck's guitar and Patti's voice, two...

The fourth album Patti Austin cut for the CTI label wasn't much different from the previous three. It was a patchwork quilt: a little fusion, a little quasi-jazz, some urban contemporary material, and even a standard or two. She sang them all with ease and grace, although things were so...
