Cross Over The Bridge - Patti Page

[CSMLarsen]

I saw this when it originally aired. I was born in 1949 and Patti Page was the first singer i remember - How much is that doggie in the window. Still love her voice and the great memories it brings back, make me forget my broken body and feel young again.

1953-54 were some memorable years in Milwaukee and Houston, this song was huge as was 'Wanted' by Perry Como and 'My Love, My Love' by Joni James. Patti was the top female singer at the time and all of her songs have special meaning to me. Those were great years growing up as a kid and the music of that era was so much a part of it.

Where's the rest of the song? A minute ain't enough!

[GenesisReplik]

oh i love this one *~*

[GreenLightTraffic]

oh, thanks, been humming this for two days in a row now.

Patti Page is such a class act, where did it all go, America?

@GreenLightTraffic To answer your question, I recommend a book called "The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Sixties". While not the final answer, it's a good place to start and sure to lead you to other books as you confirm quotes and sources. I didn't live back then (being born in 67), but I always preferred these classy acts to the manufactured trash that dominates the airwaves these days.

Sweet!

I found this song in the 1954 chart @ billboardvideos.(net)

The chorus of this song could apply to more than just "a guy who's had a girl in every port". I met a fifty-sixyear old man who still harbored bitterness toward his father who had been dead twenty years! BROTHER! Cross over the bridge!

As a kid, I wondered what those "pickle packs" were that you should leave behind you. I finally hear the real words.

Wow. What a great story.

[VealParmigiana]

One of my favorite Patti Page songs, and the complete version is on at least two Patti Page CDs.

[BayRidgeKid]

Thanks who ever you are!
