I found WXPN, Public Radio from the University of Pennsylvania, and its list of 885 greatest rock songs as voted by its listeners. The first was Born to Run but Mr. Springsteen takes umbrage with blog postings so I skipped him and went to number 2.

This was listed as number 11.

Patti Page died on New Year’s Day in Encinitas, Calif. She was 85.

“Tennessee Waltz” scored the rare achievement of reaching No. 1 on the pop, country and R&B charts simultaneously and was officially adopted as one of two official songs by the state of Tennessee. Its reach was so powerful, six other artists reached the charts the following year with covers. Patti Page became the first singer to have television programs on all three major networks, including “The Patti Page Show” on ABC. Page never kept track, but was told late in life that she’d recorded more than 1,000 songs. “I was a kid from Oklahoma who never wanted to be a singer, but was told I could sing,” she said in a 1999 interview. “And things snowballed.”
