This week's featured artifact is a record by Patti Page. This artifact is a particularly fitting choice as we come ever closer to our 100th celebration dance.
This Patti Page record was donated to the museum by CKYL. Well
known for being one of the most illustrious artists of the 1950s and '60s, Page
sold over 100 million records throughout her career.
This record, entitled Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte, was
released in 1965 and features the hit single of the same title, released a year
earlier. The song Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte was featured in a 1964 film, also of the same name, starring
Betty Davis. The single was nominated for an academy award in ’64 and went on
to become one of Page’s best known songs.
The countdown is on: we're only 18 days away from the dance! On Saturday, July 26th, 2014, join us on the street in front of the Museum, from 4 - 10 pm, for an historic street dance. Enjoy the musical talents of local musicians as well as the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels of Edmonton as we dance our way through the decades.
Come dressed in attire from your favourite decade of the last hundred years to celebrate the centenaries of the Village of Peace River Crossing, the Fire Department and the Record-Gazette.
