R.I.P. Patti Page

Hi all,
Just a quick word to mention that Patti Page passed away on New Year's Day (1/1/2013) at the age of 85. I hadn't heard about it anywhere in the news, and only learned about it today after just happening to check her Wikipedia page.
She had a stunning voice, and four of her singles (including the two featured below) went to #1 on the Billboard Pop Charts between 1950 and 1953. She was the best-selling female artist of the 1950s, and her songs appealed to both pop and country listeners.
Her signature song, the Platinum-selling "Tennessee Waltz," can be found on the "Country Ladies Sampler."
