The original American Idol, Pat Boone, is celebrating his 50th year with a career few singers come close to, I am shocked and astounded to learn Pat Boone is absent from his rightful place in the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame. How couId this terrible oversight have occurred? No one alive today is more deserving of this honor than Pat Boone.
Frankie Ford had Sea Cruise
I stand corrected and appreciate the details on Bill Haley's Rock Around The Clock, I know his wasn't the original.
A LOT of Pat Boone's HITS were blues songs. I think that qualifies, unless it needs to have a faster or stronger beat.
It is definitely BLUES, though. Not everybody's idea of "authentic," but authentic American music, and Blues nonetheless.
Tell me, who looks more like a hop head?
A Banjo Picker named Ed. :>)
Au contraire, Never have...never will!
I liked white bucks. Wish I had a pair today. They looked great with a seersucker suit. But they were forever wiped out by patent Cuban heels, kill-'em-in-the-corner points, earth shoes, clownish b-ball and show-them-ugly-toes sandals. (Sigh!)
What about Bobby Vee, Freddie Cannon, Lou Christie, Ben E. King, The Crystals, Johnny Maestro & The Crests? The inclusion processes elude me.
