Frank
Patterson
- Irish tenor Frank Patterson was born and raised in
Tipperary; announcing his intentions to become a singer on
his first day of school, he performed as a member of the
local group the Wren Boys as a teen before quitting school
to work in his mother's printing business. Upon relocating
to Dublin in 1961, Patterson studied vocal technique, and
three years later he entered the Feis Ceoil, taking home top
honors in no less than four competions including oratorio,
lieder and the German Gold Cup. His success ultimately
resulted in a contract with the Phillips label, and he also
toured with Janine Micheau in several tours of Pelleas and
Melisande. Although his early work was primarily in the
classical mode, as time wore on Patterson turned
increasingly towards pop, with a particular emphasis on
traditional Irish ballads; often appearing with his wife,
concert pianist Eily O' Grady, he performed sellout concerts
everywhere, from London's Royal Albert Hall to New York's
Carnegie Hall. Rising to even greater prominence with the
new popularity of Celtic music in the 1990s, Patterson saw
many of his past recordings reissued for American audiences,
and in 1998 starred in the PBS special Ireland in Song,
concurrently issuing an LP of the same name. Songs of
Inspiration appeared a year later. -- Raymond McKinney,

This very special collection celebrates Ireland's cultural and religious heritage with 40 glorious hymns that touched the hearts, uplifted the spirits and stirred the memories of a generation. Faith Of Our Fathers achieved phenomenal success "out of the box," selling 36,000 copies in its first week - the highest initial sales figure in the history of the Irish Recording Industry. The album went straight to #1 in the Irish Album charts and stayed at the top for weeks. |
