Patti Page - Tennessee Waltz (1956)

Patti performs an alternate version of her 1950 hit cover for an episode of her eponymous television show.

[@goaskmymom1350]

My parents loved dancing to this, dad's been gone almost 40 years. My wife and I were just with mom at the nursing home today, she's going down hill fast with the horrible disease of Parkinson's. She asked me to play this on my phone then started singing along with Patti. My wife started to tear up knowing/seeing mom doesn't have much time left but was enjoying the music. I will play this song every time I see her until she leaves us to dance once again... with dad in heaven.

[@lawrencedewan9838]

Well done and GOD bless

I was four years old when this came out. My mom and I were listening on the old vacuum tube radio when this first played. Mom told me to pay attention since this was the biggest song ever. Mom is now 100 and I'm a senior citizen and I still remember that old crummy radio playing this song.

What a wonder of singing! Patti Page is a soprano, but so velvety - in the lower tones - and like a nightingale in the high ones. It is the way she sings that make her voice so moving.

[@marieblue]

“Tennessee Waltz” was composed by Redd Stewart and Pee Wee King in 1947. Patti Page’s rendition is the best known version of the song and the largest selling record by a female artist in recording history. In 1965, this became one of Tennessee’s official state anthems. “Tennessee Waltz” was the last piece to sell a million copies of sheet music. 💙🎼💚 May you rest in peace, Clara Ann Fowler, a.k.a. Patti Page (1927 - 2013)… 🌹

In the summer of 1953, when I turned 5 years old, this song was always on the radio. My sister and I were staying with my aunt's family at Fort Knox, Kentucky, while my mother was in Mexico for health reasons. I loved to sing the first few bars of this song, but my 10 y/o cousin would tease me, saying, "Oh really? Who's your darlin'?"

I was her honest junkie of songs. She started her singing in 1950. Her voice and sound were soft with charm. I was her audience and spectator to listen her songs.

[@goustonefrancisisole2534]

I was watching 'NOVITIATE 2017', heard its tune in the 5th minute.... searched for it and found it to be TENNESSEE WALTZ.... I loved it.... I asked myself why this song in that film? I realized Cathleen's mother lost her loved one (her only daughter) to the church as she had introduced her to that community and Cathleen developed the desire to become the nun.... perhaps it was a single mother's expectation to regain happiness from grandchildren who would never come again..... it's great film to watch!

[@RoninDave]

Tennessee Waltz is a mind-trip of a song journey in itself and personally for me as well: it's a song about a song that doesn't exist written by two men about a man losing his sweetheart to an old friend but became an international hit when sung by a female artist despite it being released on the B-side of a Christmas single no one remembers. A year later a Japanese version was released by a teenaged girl in English and Japanese and it became such a hit in Japan, that when I visited the country over half-a-century later, Japanese people would often remark when they heard I was from that state by saying "Ah, Tennessee Waltzu!" In fact, I first heard the song in Japan by a female singer at a blues club in Tokyo (I had grown up more with Rocky Top myself). When I finally got around to hearing Patti Page's version, though, it all clicked together as to why this song became as famous as it did. She truly owns this song.

[@oreosphat]

Thank you for your comment! It helps explain the data for this video, which shows me that an almost equal share of the audience is from the US and Japan.
