This is the story of well-known recording artist Pat Boone, who in the earliest days of rock 'n' roll worked with Elvis, Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, the Everley Brothers, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry and other greats. Pat Boone has travelled a long way from his childhood days in Nashville, Tennessee. However, he remains the son his parents always wanted, and a loving husband to the childhood sweetheart he married when they were both just 19. This fascinating book traces how Pat progressed from recording artist to actor, spokesperson, TV personality, radio host, author, sportsman, composer/lyricist, religious leader, and ambassador. His many achievements include 13 gold discs, two gold albums and one platinum album (Love Letters in the Sand), and the longest continuous period ever in the US charts (200 weeks). Pat has starred in many films including Journey to the Centre of the Earth, The Greatest Story Ever Told and The Cross and Switchblade. He has raised money for famine relief and the handicapable and has been named Christian Ambassador to Israel by the Israeli Tourism Board in the USA. Often outspoken about his strong Christian faith, Pat Boone has learnt to deal with the gibes of the mainstream, even poking fun at his own image when he did an album of heavy metal covers. In 1997 Pat Boone in a Metal Mood -- No More Mr. Nice Guy relaunched him into public awareness, with access to a new audience.
