“All My Love” was a 1950 song released by Patti Page. It spent 22 weeks on the Billboard charts and rose all the way to number one. The song was her first of many number-one hits throughout her career.
To this day, there are still many fans of this song, and people who are just discovering it. As one listener on YouTube said, “Excellent performance from the pretty and extremely talented singer, actress, dancer, entertainer and performer Patti Page. I thought I heard all of Patti Page’s songs! This is the first time I ever heard this song!”
Although Page had an immense amount of success as a singer, in an interview with Gary James, she revealed that she never actually wanted to be in the industry. “I wanted to be an artist,” she said. “I painted. I drew. I sketched. I did all these things. I took art my senior year in high school. I had all my credits, so I just spent four hours in art classes. I won a scholarship to the University of Tulsa. It wasn’t huge and my folks were very poor, but I could’ve gone with my working because I was working by that time. It just seemed that the singing was becoming more important in Tulsa. I had the show my last three years in Tulsa, and I started doing more and more and more. On weekends, I would go out with little Country bands or a dance band. It didn’t really matter.”
She also spoke about appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show the same night as The Beatles. “It was unbelievable,” she said. “I don’t think anybody heard anybody else on the show. You couldn’t get out of the theatre. The girls were hundreds deep outside the stage door. I still don’t know how they got them out. But it was electrifying. It was a little amazing because we didn’t quite know what was happening. The last time any of us had heard anything like that was with Elvis. Before that, Frank Sinatra.”

Page had several other hit songs throughout her career, including “Tennessee Waltz,” “I Went to Your Wedding,” and the novelty song “(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?” She was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in 1997. She was also posthumously honored with a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award in 2013.
Page died in 2013 at the age of 85.
