今天要介绍一位美国老牌歌后，50年代最红的歌手。
华丽醇厚的声音，与卡朋特的金嗓有几分相似 。类似她这种自带唱片画面的声线，非常令人迷醉，至今还未有来者……
有时候会想，一种声音对应一个时代，她不紧不慢、从容有度的声音，就是那个时代的节奏吧。
她的歌，需要慢慢听，值得循环一个晚上，一个下午，一个白天，在属于自己的时间里。
她叫帕蒂.佩姬（Patti Page) ，一个始终优雅的女歌手。
帕蒂.佩姬是大乐队时代排名第 14 位的艺人，在这期间共有上榜歌曲 39 支。她是 50 年代唱片销售量最大的女歌手。
927 年 11 月 8 日，帕蒂.佩姬出生于俄克拉何马州的 Muskogee 。她是在Tulsa 地方的无线电台开始她的职业歌唱生涯的。在周末也偶尔参加一些爵士音乐会。她 Patti Page 的艺名是在 Page Milk 赞助的一个节目中起的。即使后来她离开了这档节目，这个艺名却保留了下来。
她的第一支热门曲《Confess－坦白》就是这一年的成绩，而且是第一位流行歌星，制作了自己和自己合唱的录音。
在继续取得几首成功的歌曲后，于1950年，她的一支《With My Eyes Wide Open I’m Dreaming－睁眼梦》达到了唱片销售百万张的成绩，这全靠她新型的，自我重唱效果（也被称为帕蒂·佩奇四重唱）。
还是在 1950 年，《All My Love－我所有的爱》成了她的第一支榜首曲，在榜首停留了 5 周。
同年，她一生中最成功的歌曲《The Tennessee waltz－田纳西圆舞曲》则在榜首停留了好几个月（此曲被选定为田纳西州州歌），被列美国为最佳销售单曲之一。在后来的日子里，这支歌曲不下于 6 次步入排行榜前 40 位。
在 1952 年到 53 年间，佩奇还出了两支大热门曲《I Went To Your Wedding－我参加了你的婚礼》和《That Doggie In The Window－橱窗的小狗》，都在榜首停留了 2 个多月。
此外，还有一首《Cross Over The Bridge－过桥》，也曾非常受欢迎。
一直到 60 年代中期，她一直是排行榜上强有力的竞争者；她所演唱的流行歌曲范围也非常之广。那时流行歌曲有“日渐消沉”之势，要想到责任在谁时，很容易会追到她的身上。
这是因为她太优秀了。
帕蒂.佩姬于 2013 年 1 月 1 日去世，享年 85 岁。
虽然人已逝，但留给世界很多美好的音乐。而帕蒂.佩姬唱过的这几首经典老歌，至今无人能敌...
现在，我们在这里，重温她的首首经典老歌。

Confess confess
Why don't you confess
Say yes say yes
I wish you'd reveal to me

To open your heart to me

How long can I keep waiting
For a tender word from you
The sweetest rose starts fading
When the sunshine won't come through

Please don't make me guess

If you really care for me

How much is that doggie in the window?*（arf!arf!）*
The one with the waggley tail
How much is that doggie in the window?*（arf!arf!）*
I do hope that doggie's for sale
I must take a trip to California
And leave my poor sweetheart alone
If he has a dog,he won't be lonesome
And the doggie will have a good home
How much is that doggie in the window?*（arf!arf!）*
The one with the waggley tail
How much is that doggie in the window?*（arf!arf!）*
I do hope that doggie's for sale
I read in the paper there are robbers **（roof!roof!）**
With flashlights that shine in the dark
My love needs a doggie to protect him
And scare them away with one bark
I don't want a bunny or a kitty
I don't want a parrot that talks
I don't want a bowl of little fishies
He can't take a goldfish for a walk
How much is that doggie in the window?*（arf!arf!）*
The one with the waggley tail
How much is that doggie in the window?*（arf!arf!）*
I do hope that doggie's for sale
7.大热门歌曲《Cross Over The Bridge－过桥》。
滑动下方文字查看歌词 ▼
If you're a guy who's had a gal in each and every port
And you forgot the rules of love that life has always taught
And if you broke as many hearts as ripples in a stream
Well brother here's the only way that you can be redeemed:
Cross over the bridge cross over the bridge
Change your reckless way of livin' cross over the bridge
Leave your fickle past behind you
And true romance will find you
Brother cross over the bridge
If you have built a boat to take you to the greener side
And if the boat is built of every lie you ever lied
You'll never reach the Promised Land of Love I guarantee
'Cause lies cannot hold water and you'll sink into the sea
Cross over the bridge cross over the bridge
Change your reckless way of livin' cross over the bridge
Leave your fickle past behind you
And true romance will find you
Brother cross over the bridge
I know it isn't easy to resist temptation's call
But think of how your broken heart will hurt you when you fall
'Cause someday you will find that you are hopelessly in love
And she'll belong to someone else as sure as stars above
Cross over the bridge cross over the bridge
Change your reckless way of livin' cross over the bridge
Leave your fickle past behind you
And true romance will find you
Brother cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge

We were waltzing together
伴着梦幻的旋律
to a dreamy melody
我们翩翩起舞
When they called out "Change partner!"
当交换舞伴的时刻已到
And you waltz away from me
你的舞步离我而去
Now my arms feel so empty
现在我的怀抱空空
As I gazed around the floor
失神地左顾右盼
And I keep on changing partners
于是我不停地交换舞伴
Till I hold you once more
直到我再次与你同舞
Though we danced for one moment
尽管这美妙的时刻太过短暂
And too soon we had to part
我们不久就要分离
In that wonderful moment
在这难忘的时间里
Something happened to my heart
我的心悄然绽放
So I keep changing partners
于是我不停地交换舞伴
Till you're in my arms, and then
直到我们再次相遇，然后
Oh my daring
我的爱人啊
I will never change partner again
你将是我唯一的伴侣
Though we danced for one moment
尽管这美妙的时刻太过短暂
And too soon we had to part
我们不久就要分离
In that wonderful moment

Something happened to my heart

So I keep changing partners
于是我不停地交换舞伴
Till you're in my arms, and then
直到我们再次相遇，然后
Oh my daring
我的爱人啊
I will never change partner again
你将是我唯一的伴侣
