'Tennessee Waltz' Singer Patti Page Dead at 85
Patti Page, best known for her '50s hits "Tennessee Waltz" and "How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?" died Tuesday in Encinitas, Calif. She was 85.
Seacrest Village Retirement Communities, where she lived, confirmed her death to the New York Times on Wednesday.
Her other notable musical accomplishments included the theme to the 1964 thriller “Hush ... Hush, Sweet Charlotte,” starring Bette Davis, which was nominated for an Oscar.
