Well, I went and listened to Jo Staffard, The Duprees and others on the recommendadation of posts found here. I'm younger than most of the people here, but still cannot get over the control and outright beauty of Patti Page's voice. For mine, this is simply the only version to listen to, but that's what makes music great - listen to what you like.
@aghnifrid Not everybody else, just most of the people that would be listening to this song. And by visiting your channel I can see that I'm 13 years younger than you - but I'm catching up fast so watch out! Best wishes,
Big thanks to the uploader - just fantastic mate. I'm a cranky old Bstrd who doesn't "get" todays music, and I believe it's cos the message is rubbish. I can listen to this magical tune, let the Beatles send me some place - or listen to someone who wants to kill someone, preferrably cops, or rape and kill some "bitch" This is surely deranging young minds, let's have some censorship. The greatest songs I've heard are born of love - this new stuff is born of hate. Listen here for positive music.
This song is truly GREAT. I feel whoever will sing this especially those HEAVENLY singers of the 50's and 60's (the golden eras of music ) deserve the highest accolades and admiration. ?They all belong to me??? Those people who upload songs of this kind are worthy to receive our sincere THANK YOU AND MORE THANK YOU.
My mother had the old album 78 record back in the 60's. When I was a little girl I would always play Patti Page's album. This brings me back good memories. Thank you very much for having on youtube. :) RIP mom...
This is the first time I've heard Patti Page's version. Thank you, 'konidolfine'.
I still like Jo's version...but yes, I guess her version is more..."statuesque", with a grander orchestra sound, and Patti's is a little closer and more intimate...
A 1952 song.........which I had been hearing from our small radio......when I was just a kid...........listening to it while playing..........alone ( :

First recorded by Sue Thompson. Rediscovered by Joni James and recorded in her first session, for Sharp Records in Chicago. One of the songwriters borrowed the acetate and as far as know brought it to Mitch Miller, who gave it to Jo Stafford. Then covered quickly by Patti Page and then Dean Martin. Rerecorded by Joni at Abbey Road in London in 1960 with "I Need You Now," another song she lost (to Eddie Fisher) along with two remakes of hits, one of which she subsequently recorded AGAIN.
My, oh My! How I love Patti's voice. Her album Hush Hush, sweet Charlotte has carried me through some rough times. She is something else! I don't think she has ever sung a bad note!
See the pyramids around the Nile Watch the sun rise From the tropic isle Just remember darling All the while You belong to me See the market place In old Algiers Send me photographs and souvenirs Just remember When a dream appears You belong to me
When this song was popular, both Jo Stafford and Patti Page were in the Top 10 best sellers.....although Jo reached number 1 and Patti number 4....Patti's flip side also sold over 2 million copies. That song was I WENT TO YOUR WEDDING.
Basically they're saying that Jo Stafford's version is the absolute best, but there is too much of standard jazz in the voice and arrangement. Patti Page's version is lighter and easier to listen to.
BOTH JO AND PATTI BRING BACK THE SAME WONDERFUL MEMORIESOF MY YOUTH AND MY SAILOR ...

My vote for best version goes to The Duprees. Patti Page version is great, too. I like Patti's version better than Jo Stafford's.

The singing of Jo Stafford is also wonderful.
However, the element that is very friendly, and sounds in the mind is included in it by patti more.

KaiserPCS, she seems to be saying:
See the pyramids around the Nile
Watch the sun rise
ON A tropic isle.. I'm not a native speaker, but it sounds like that to my ears...
MishaG9 2 years ago
@MishaG9 She clear sings "along the Nile" not "around the Nile".
NewDirection4us 2 years ago
Well, the text you published 6 months ago says: "around the Nile" and I just copied it without realizing this. But I was mainly referring to this:
Watch the sun rise
From the tropic isle
She doesn't seem to be saying "FROM", but "ON", no?

Try Kate Rusby's version - different, dreamy, a little dark, and I think still true to the idea in this love song.

I just realize that i became a fan of Patti.
Her voice is amazing and it sounds so romantic.
I just hope that somebody in our time can sing as she did by using old mic and sound effects.

パティ・ペイジという人はとても安心して聴ける歌手ですね。

この曲はジョー・スタッフォードが大本命というところですが、少々ジャズ味の薄めなパティ・ペイジ盤にはポップで親しみやすい良さがあるように思います。
