Good article, w. I just found out that PB was a Conservative, W-supporter. I grew up with some of his tunes in the 50s, but can't remember any of them. Maybe I need another adult beverage? Duh...
"Ain't That A Shame?"
"Love Letters In The Sand"
"Bernadine"

Pat Boone made his name in entertainment by doing songs that, because they were done by black artists, simply weren't acceptable to mainstream America. I've heard him talk about this and he always very quick to point out that any success he enjoyed was mostly due to those black artists who discovered the songs and recorded them first. Pretty neat guy!
