LET THE MYSTERY BE?

I realize looking back I thought it would be like this. I mean, I got the call to write and sing. I knew that. I didn’t get the call to sell millions of records.

If fifteen people hear it, if five hundred thousand people hear it, that’s really not my concern. Never was. It still isn’t. I feel like when I make a record, I love it and I care about it. I want people to hear it. But if I do my job and nobody does, I will sleep fine with that.

MUDDY ROAD AHEAD

Unlike most other pop singers, Page blended country music styles into many of her songs. As a result of this crossover appeal, many of Page's singles appeared on the Billboard Country Chart. In the 1970s, she shifted her style more toward country music and began having even more success on the country charts, ending up as one of the few vocalists to have charted in five separate decades.
