To: Paul R.
He was the last of the pioneers of rock n roll. Elvis, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Carl Perkins, Little Richard - all gone now.

Someone mentioned that Pat Boone is still with us. He did sing white versions of R & B. I just can't get my mind around calling him a rocker.

PB has no real connection to rock-a-billy.

Joel Whitburn ranks Boone as the #2 artist of the 50s, right behind Elvis. By his chart scoring method, Elvis scored 3802, Boone 3584. No other artists were within 1,000 points of them. As one who was there, I can assure that despite decades of negative press, Boone was huge. I report, you decide.

I apologize in advance for posting this but somebody had to do it. Here is Pat Boone doing a cover of Ozzy Osbourne.
