In the years immediately prior to the British Invasion, only one performer rivaled the chart dominance of Elvis Presley, and that was Pat Boone. With his trademark white buck shoes, perfectly combed hair and gleaming smile, Boone was the very essence of wholesome American values, and at a time when the rise of Rock ‘n Roll was a sign of the apocalypse, he made the music appear safe and non-threatening, earning some 38 Top 40 hits in the process. His position as teen idol was clinched by the charting status of more than 60 of his singles.
Pat Boone has over 20 Gospel albums in all to his credit – some including songs he’d written – and he’s credited as having recorded the first-ever million-selling Gospel record! In 2003 he was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, along with Amy Grant and the Blind Boys of Alabama.
Pat and Shirley (Foley) Boone (daughter of country star ‘Red’ Foley) were married for over 65 years. “We lived a wonderful, blessed life together. I’ve parted with my better half for a little while…but we don’t die, we just move on to another place,” Pat said of his high school sweetheart.
Dan Waldron grew up in the Fabulous Fifties. As a young teenager he remembers how the world paused whenever a Pat Boone song was played on local radio; AIN’T THAT A SHAME, I ALMOST LOST MY MIND, DON’T FORBID ME, LOVE LETTERS IN THE SAND, APRIL LOVE, ANASTASIA, I’LL BE HOME, and the list goes on. Dan’s extensive collection of about 500 pieces of Pat Boone memorabilia includes albums, movie posters, magazines, clothing, and promotional items documenting over 65 years as a singer and actor, and went on to become part of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Tribute to Teenage Idols display. Dan eventually met Pat while working as a cameraman at the Trinity Broadcasting Network in Santa Ana, CA, then went on to work on the Pat Boone Fan Club Newsletter for several years and displayed his collection at Pat Boone¬ concerts and special events. Dan resides in California, has been married for 52 years and has two daughters and 4 grandchildren.
