In 1974 and 1975, she recorded for Avco Records, and, in 1981, recorded for Plantation Records, her most recent record label. Page's most recent single to appear on any Billboard chart was the 1982 #80 country single, "My Man Friday". (She last appeared on the pop chart in 1968, with her version of O.C. Smith's hit, "Little Green Apples", and on the Adult Contemporary chart with "Give Him Love" in 1971.)
Page made the country chart in up to 1983, with her biggest hit during that time being "Hello, We're Lonely," a 1973 #14 duet with Tom T. Hall.
In the 1990s, Page started her own label, C.A.F. Records. In 1998, she won a Grammy as "Best Traditional Pop Singer". Page continued to record into the new millenium with the CDs BRAND NEW TENNESSEE WALTZ, SWEET SOUNDS OF CHRISTMAS (2002), CHILD OF MINE (2003) and her last 2009 release BEST OF COUNTRY. Many of her songs have a strong beat to them that prelude rock 'n' roll. These titles include "Mister and Mississippi", "Detour" and "Cross Over the Bridge". In 1956, she married choreographer Charles O'Curran. They adopted two children, a daughter, Kathleen, and a son, Daniel O'Curran.

There's something down
The track
He's got rhythm in his feet
But nothing in the sack
The boogie woogie Santa Claus

I still have this 78 from my childhood!
sstavsky
I always liked Patti but never knew that she could boogie! And as the78prof coyly hints at, this was the flip side of "Tennessee Waltz," one of the biggest hits of the 50's. You couldn't have two such different sides, which shows Patti's versatility.
redskingeo
This was the A side of the record
Mark Conlan
@redskingeo Patti Page recorded "Boogie Woogie Santa. Claus" and Mercury anticipated a big hit. The song flopped, but then a D.J. played the flip side of the record, "Tennessee Waltz" by Red. Foley, which Patti had recorded just because they needed something to put on the other side of the record. "Tennessee. Waltz" became the hit and "Boogie Boogie Santa Claus" languished in obscurity, though Leon René told Arnold Shaw in an interview for his book "Honkers and Shouters" that he actually made more money than Red Foley did because he was both the song's composer and its publisher.
Rockin Bones
Well Patti was copying Mabel Scott's version who recorded it first, and probably has the superior version.
