Edna Savage (21 April 1936 - 31 December 2000) was a traditional pop singer in the United Kingdom.

She was born in Warrington, Lancashire, England. She had two sisters, one older, one younger. Her father was a landscape gardener, her mother an amateur singer. She left school at age 15 (common in the UK in those days). At first she trained as a telephone operator, but after a few bands had her sing for them locally, she quit the telephone job to sing professionally.

She auditioned twice for the BBC before making her first broadcast, in 1954. She made a number of records, only one of which charted, "Arrivederci Darling" in 1956, which made it to #19. In 1957 she participated in the UK heat of the Eurovision Song Contest.

She died at the age of 62. [http://www.geocities.com/ednasavage2006/ Edna Savage Memorial site] ] [ [http://archive.thisischeshire.co.uk/2001/1/18/215802.html Edna Savage Obituary] ]
