Manhattan Tower (Patti Page album)

Manhattan Tower is a concept album by American singer Patti Page, released in 1956 on Mercury Records. It tells a musical story of a man's journey from small-town life to the excitement and challenges of living in New York City. The album is arranged and conducted by Richard Hayman.

The album was initially released as two EPs (Extended Plays) before being compiled into a full-length LP (Long Play) album. The songs are interconnected, creating a narrative arc rather than standalone tracks. The lyrical content explores themes of ambition, romance, loneliness, and the allure of urban life. The music is a blend of pop and jazz, reflecting the sound of the era.

Manhattan Tower is considered one of Page's most ambitious and critically acclaimed works, showcasing her versatility and range as a vocalist. It remains a notable example of the concept album format in the 1950s. The album includes spoken-word interludes, adding to the narrative structure.
