Gregory John Page, AM (born 16 January 1972) is an Australian singer, musician, and actor. He is best known as the original lead vocalist and a founding member of the children's band The Wiggles. Page has also recorded several solo albums. ==Career== While still a teenager, Page, whose nickname is "Pagey" was a roadie for and sang with the Australian band The Cockroaches during their final years. On bandmate Anthony Field's recommendation, he enrolled in Macquarie University to study Early Childhood Education. While students, Page, Field, and guitarist Murray Cook, along with former Cockroaches member and keyboardist Jeff Fatt, combined their music backgrounds and teaching skills to form The Wiggles.〔 The youngest member of the group, Page was nineteen years old when he began touring with the group. Field described him as "the perfect straight man", with a "big friendly smile and easy stage manner" which made him engrossing for both children and adults. Also according to Field, Page "has an authoritative, though not overbearing, tone when he speaks to children and is a relaxed and clever emcee". When performing with The Wiggles, Page wore a yellow skivvy. Like the other Wiggles, Page had a schtick, which was doing magic tricks. His 2005 solo album, ''Taking Care of Country'', reflects Page's interest in Elvis Presley's music. It was recorded with the TCB Band, Elvis' back-up band. In spring 2003, Page performed in Las Vegas with the TCB Band. In 2002, Page sang back-up with Australian Elvis impersonator Mick Gerace. His second album with the TCB Band, ''Let It Be Me'', was released in 2012. Production of the album began in 2004, but was interrupted due to Page's medical issues.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Greg Page.com )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Greg Page (musician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
