American singer Patti Page, often referred to as 'the Singin' Rage' could justifiably be considered the first country-pop crossover artist, years before the term was coined in the 1970s. One of the best-known female artists in traditional pop music, Patti was the top-charting female vocalist, as well as the best-selling female artist of the 1950s, and sold over 100 million records in America. Unlike most pop music singers, she blended country music into many of her most popular songs as well as recording literally dozens of country songs, many of which she took into the pop charts. Most notable amongst these was Tennessee Waltz. Originally recorded by country music band Pee Wee King & His Golden West Cowboys in 1947, Tennessee Waltz became a major country hit for them in 1948.
