PAT BOONE ENTERPRISES INCADD TO FAVORITES

Arts Entertainment and Leisure > Entertainers or Entertainment Agencies

In the years immediately prior to the British Invasion, only one performer rivaled the chart dominance of Elvis Presley, and that was Pat Boone. Boone was the very essence of wholesome American values. At a time when the rise of Rock ‘n Roll was viewed as a sign of the apocalypse, he made the music appear safe and non-threatening, earning some 38 Top 40 hits in the process.
Born Charles Eugene Patrick Boone on June 1, 1934 in Jacksonville, FL, and raised in Nashville, TN, “Pat” Boone attended high school in Nashville and sang in church with his brother, Nick, and family, and all over town at school affairs, community events, and on local TV and radio. Boone made his recording debut in 1954 on Republic Records, followed a year later by his Dot Records debut “Two Hearts, Two Kisses.” At the end of 1955 he notched his first No. 1 hit with a rendition of Fats Domino’s “Ain’t That a Shame.”
