Clara Ann Fowler was born on November 8, 1927, in Claremore, Oklahoma (although some sources give Muskogee) into a large and poor family. Her father, B.A. Fowler, worked on the MKT railroad, while her mother, Margaret, and older sisters picked cotton. As she recalled on television many years later, the family lived without electricity, and therefore she could not read after dark. She was raised in Foraker, Hardy, Muskogee and Avant, Oklahoma, before attending Daniel Webster High School in Tulsa, from which she graduated in 1945.

Hall titled, "Hello, We're Lonely" was a Top 20 hit, reaching No. 14 on the Billboard Country Chart.  In 1973, Page returned to Columbia Records' affiliate Epic Records.
