>72 Billboard hits from 1955 to 66Nobody knows how this happened, although I assume Payola probably had something to do with it.
>At a 1961 gathering at Pepperdine College, Boone said, "I would rather see my four girls shot and die as little girls who have faith in God than leave them to die some years later as godless, faithless, soulless communists."
>>128839497he was good looking and attractive to women
>>128839540If you went back in time to tell Pat Boone that one of his daughters would end up being communist, but refused to tell him which one, do you think he would shoot all four daughters while they still have faith in God?
>Pat's final Billboard appearance was "Wish You Were Here, Buddy" a pro-Vietnam song>this from a guy who got out of the Korean War as a conscientious objector'Nuff said.
>>128839497after his pop career ended he recorded about 760 gospel albums and they were among the first to be advertised on TV
>>128839497Dot Records was a real shit factory, none of their records were good excepting those '55 Fontane Sisters ones.
>>128840116https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQpA0wu4fZQCase in point. Why is a 33 year old woman singing this?
>>128840151it's a cover of a record by Gloria Mann but the original wasn't very good anyway
>>128840116they loved their golden boy Pat and milked him as long as they possibly could
Pat's gay as hell. Like most in the music industry he probably sucked his way to the top.
>>128840857Nah he's not gay, just a typical sociopathic jock who masks it under that Christfag skinsuit he wears.
>>128840893Sinatra and Jerry Lee Lewis may have been sociopathic jocks but at least they never tried to pretend they weren't.
>>128840893Amy Grant is a rather unlovable cunt as well. Professional Christfags are usually not to be trusted, they're using it as a cover for whatever dark tendencies they're hiding.
>>128840893it's funny how Elvis, Willie, Johnny Cash, even Little Richard made great gospel recordings but Boone's always felt so empty, like there was never really anything there outside him getting a paycheck for it
>>128840116https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_Records#ArtistsMost of these were never good to begin with or else had once been good but were well past their prime.
The Lettermen, Anita Bryant, and Pat Boone headlined some kind of Christfag "fuck hippies" concert in 1969.
>>128841141Poor Anita. She meant well but should have waited just a few more years until Republicans were back in the White House and AIDS was starting to say what we all know to be true.
>>128841141Don't eat the brown communion wafers, man
>>128840934Can't wait for him to kick it after which his kids write the tell-all biography about how he molested them or kicked puppies or something.
>>128839497>72 Billboard hits from 1955 to 66It's possible it was even more than that but the Billboard only tracked 30 positions until August 1958.
>>128839497all totally disappeared from airplay as well
>>128844315The white bread versions of black songs like "ain't that a shame" are so corny they're funny
>>128846695On top of that he had a lot of corny and instantly dated ballads like April Love for cred purposes.
>>128846695Everyone did white R&B covers in the 50s with variable results some good some bad but few were as singularly horrible as Boone's.
>>128840055No. He'd kill you, then steal your time machine to kill Lenin and save the world from communism in advanced.
>>128841044I really don't know what motivated him. He chose so many great songs to cover, yet never absorbed anything of their influence. Why even bother choosing such material?
>>128847841>I really don't know what motivated himMoney. :^)
>>128847841Why Baby Why is a classic example of an otherwise very solid tune ruined by his hilariously bad singing. Teresa Brewer's cover version of this song is better because she actually sounds awake and alert, which is pretty terrible either way you think about it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omVCYLAnA9A
