On June 13th, 1964 Sam Cooke's "Tennessee Waltz" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100; eventually it would peak at No. 35 and spent 8 weeks in the Top 100 (this song was the B/side of the record, the A/side was "Good Times", which peaked at #11}
The most successful version was by Patti Page; on January 6th, 1951 it reached No. 1 {for 8 weeks} on Billboard's Best Sellers chart and also #2 on Billboard's Country & Western chart {it was ranked #10 on Billboard's Year-End Top 30 Singles of 1951 chart}
This takes me way back, to the final years of my last incarnation, when I used to listen to this song in the old folks' home, prior to my last death in '60.
I agree with you Marilyn, There's no vocal distinction in most of the female singers today. The exception to that, in the recent past there's Crystal Gayle and Annie Lennox that come to mind. Today there's Norah Jones with a beautiful voice full of emotional expression. She's even recorded "Tennessee Waltz" but still Patti is unrivaled by anyone vocally and in style and popularity.
Patti's so beautiful, and elegant!

My gosh, those cosy Middle America days of the 50s. I guess the 60s changed everything - For the better or the worse? thats anybody's guess.

What great song!
What an era of gentle music...
Nowadays, most of the music is just crap, nothing more...
Patti was so sweet.
This is an eternal song, it will live forever!!!

@61marilyn People have suggested Karen Carpenter as possessing similar vocal talents to those of Patti Page.
