Clara
Ann Fowler
Clara Ann Fowler was born in 1927 to a dirt
poor family that lived in rural areas of the USA. Actually it was either, Claremore, OK or Muskogee,
Ok. Her daddy was a railroad man while
mother and other sisters picked cotton.
Cotton picking was done by poor folks.
When she was 18 she was singing on KTUL radio
station in Tulsa, OK as part of a 15 minute show sponsored by the Page Milk Company.
As the singer on this live show she was dubbed “Patti Page”. As the story goes Jack
Rael a band manager and saxophone player heard the radio program, contacted the
station making enquiries about who the singer was. He quit his job as band manager and became
Clara Fowler’s manager. Clara left the
radio station work and the 15 minute job with the Page Milk Company. When she walked out that day and headed into
her future she took the name “Patti Page” with her.
The rest is history. She became ‘The singin rage – Miss Patti Page’
selling over 100 million records in her career as a very famous recording
artist in the USA.

On February 9, 2013 she was planning to be in
Los Angeles where she will receive a life time achievement award from The Recording
Academy.
But on January 1st 2013, Clara Ann
Fowler, Miss Patti Page, passed away at age 85.
I don’t know why it made me stop and think
deeply of her presence in my life. Maybe it was her style and her many songs
that were woven into much of my early radio listening. Maybe it was the words of her songs and the
ones that she chose to weave into the fabric of our lives.
Maybe it is the fact that my parent’s age is disappearing
at an alarming rate now. My Mom is only
seven years older than Clara – Patti Page.
So today I draw your attention to Patti Page
and salute a great lady of music – and an early part of my life.
