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 do not wish to denigrate Pat Boone or his career. He is a legend. But for pop music, not as a pioneer of rock and roll. Others may disagree with me, that is the way I see it.
There was three in that family that got..whats the name of that award?
Pat and Pats daughter got it..I cant remember the name of the elder who got it. Think it was a country and western singer.
GEEEZ this memory..
