Patti Page – I Thought About You

This imported collection offers a generous, thoughtfully sequenced look at Patti Page’s early‑1950s ballad style — a period when her voice had settled into the creamy, unhurried warmth that made her one of the most distinctive pop vocalists of the era. The album brings together 25 standards and romantic favourites, each delivered with Page’s trademark poise, clarity and gentle swing.

The programme opens with East of the Sun and I Got It Bad and That Ain’t Good, both showcasing her ability to glide through a melody with quiet assurance. Duke Ellington’s I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart and the dreamy Moon Over Miami continue the mood, while Red Sails in the Sunset and These Foolish Things highlight her gift for soft‑focus nostalgia.

Page’s intimate side comes through in It’s a Sin to Tell a Lie, There Is No Greater Love and Until the Real Thing Comes Along, each shaped with subtle emotional shading. She brings a smoky tenderness to You Go to My Head and Deep in a Dream, while I Hadn’t Anyone Till You and Spring Is Here reveal her affinity for reflective, late‑night ballads.

The middle of the set includes polished readings of Darn That Dream, What’s New, I’ll Never Smile Again and I Didn’t Know What Time It Was, all delivered with Page’s characteristic restraint — expressive without ever overstating. Lighter touches appear in You Walk By and Everything I Have Is Yours, before the collection moves into the wistful Don’t Blame Me and the gently swinging We Just Couldn’t Say Goodbye.

The album closes with Penthouse Serenade, While a Cigarette Was Burning and the title track I Thought About You, a perfect finale that captures the reflective, twilight mood running through the entire programme.

Altogether, I Thought About You is a beautifully curated portrait of Patti Page at her most elegant and understated — a mellow, romantic set that invites the listener into the soft glow of her early‑’50s sound world.
