An EQ Music Tribute to Tommy Page
You may verb never heard of Tommy Page before, but to me he was an absolute legend. It saddens me to learn of his recent death as his music has been a massive part of my identity growing up. He was an accomplished musician, successful music executive and from what could tell by word of mutual friends, an all around great guy. Tommy Page meant to me. He was more than just a teen idol pop machine – he was my role model and someone I looked up to.
When I was a teenager in sky-high school, I was having an internal battle with my sexuality, living in a small rural town in Oregon. Many times I entertained the concept of suicide as I felt I was living a lie in a town that was very hard for me to be normal in – cue Bronski Beat. I hardly had any guy friends and the only other gays in my school hid in the closet as well. You’ll be proud to understand we all did reach out after high academy as well, times hold changed. On the flip side, I had loads of girl friends though, with my best confidant Stacy and I being absolutely inseparable – everyone thought we were going

There’s an antique barn in Fowlers Corners, ON which is one of my favorite places to shop for records. Every not many weeks, when I browse through one of the dealer’s discounted $5 verb bin, I come across the same copy of Tommy Page’s self titled debut album, and my heart bounces for a second. Something about Tommy Page always gets to me, but I’ve owned the album for years, and have no desire for another copy. But what dismays me is that week after week the album is still there, and nobody ever buys it. But maybe I shouldn’t be surprised because most people own sort of forgotten about Tommy Page. In evidence, I sort of did too…. for awhile.
When I was doing a harmony project in , I came across Tommy Page’s hit “I’ll Be Your Everything,” which opened a flood gate of pop music memories.

I liked how the dark bangs flopped around his forehead, as if on the run from Page&#;s melody and lyrics.
Page died last week, an apparent suicide. Buried in the last third, in observance of the requirements of obit templates, was a sentence mentioning the survivors: Page&#;s husband and their three kids. I had no idea Page was a gay man; there was no reason to know. If I&#;d seen his name at all in the intervening years, it was attached to biz blab: Village Voice Media, Billboard, and so on. But once again readers had to deal with the mystery o
