Patti Page was a trailblazer. She pioneered overdubbing in 1947 by singing duets and quartets with herself. She was the best selling female artist of the 1950s and sold 100 million records. Flipside: The Patti Page Story traces her beginnings as a singer for the Page Milk Company program on KTLU in Oklahoma to her success as "the Singin' Rage, Miss Patti Page" in the 1960s.
Director/writer Greg White has cast two performers to reveal the dual sides of Page's character. Kennedy Center award-winner Haley Jane Pierce evokes the soft-spoken Clara Ann Fowler (Page's given name) and Melissa Griffith embodies the public persona of the elegant Patti Page. Signature singles such as "Tennessee Waltz," "Mockin' Bird Hill," "How Much is that Doggie in the Window," "Old Cape Cod" and "I Don't Care if the Sun Don't Shine" give the audience insight into the life and career of this singing legend.
