[6] His musical career appears to have commenced in 1955 when, in the June of that year, Federal Records released a single credited to the C. Page Orchestra with Ernest Johns.
[5] In September the same year, Aladdin Records issued a single with the accreditation given to Rolling Crew with Orchestra, with Page writing and singing on the A-side "Home On Alcatraz".
[5] "If You Ever Get Lonesome" was co-written by Johnny Otis and Page and recorded by Preston Love and His Orchestra (with vocals by Roy "Happy" Easter) and released in December 1955.
It finally appeared on the 1992 compilation album, Dapper Cats, Groovy Tunes & Hot Guitars (Ace Records).
In 1963, another single similarly credited and published by the same label, included the tracks "I Believed in a Woman" and "Boot Hill".
[10] The activity then seemingly lapsed until 1978 when the risqué worded and double entendre loaded, "Hamburger (All Americans Eat It)" by Cleo Page was issued on Goodie Train Records,[11] and differently billed as "I Love to Eat It - Hamburger" on JSP Records (January 1979).
[6] The tracks, "I Believed in a Woman" and "Boot Hill", although credited to Curley Page and Band, reportedly had the vocals supplied by 'Syl Williams'.
[7] In 1966, a version of the track was included on Siegel–Schwall Band's eponymous debut album, although the songwriting credit was erroneously listed to Jimmy Witherspoon.
[5][7] In 1984, the song appeared on Johnny Winter's LP Guitar Slinger (Alligator Records), where no songwriting credit was listed; and in 1991 it opened the posthumously released compilation album.
