Patrick Charles Eugene Boone (born June 1,
1934) is an American singer, composer, actor, writer, television personality,
motivational speaker, and spokesman. He was a successful pop singer in the United States
during the 1950s and early 1960s. He sold more than 45 million records, had 38
Top 40 hits, and appeared in more than 12 Hollywood films.
According to Billboard,
Boone was the second-biggest charting artist of the late 1950s, behind only Elvis Presley, and was
ranked at No. 9 in its listing of the Top 100 Top 40 Artists 1955–1995. Until the
2010s, Boone held the Billboard record for spending 220 consecutive weeks on
the charts with one or more songs each week.
At the age of 23, he began hosting a
half-hour ABC variety television series, The Pat Boone
Chevy Showroom, which aired for 115 episodes
(1957–1960). Many musical performers, including Edie Adams,
Andy Williams, Pearl Bailey, and Johnny Mathis, made
appearances on the show. His cover versions of rhythm and blues hits had a noticeable effect on the development of the broad popularity
of rock and roll. Elvis
Presley was the opening act for a 1955 Pat Boone show in Cleveland, Ohio.
As
an author, Boone had a number-one bestseller in the 1950s (Twixt Twelve and
Twenty, Prentice-Hall). In the 1960s, he focused on gospel music and is a
member of the Gospel Music
Hall of Fame. He continues to perform and
speak as a motivational speaker, a television personality, and a conservative political commentator.
"Beyond
the Sunset" is a song written by Blanche Kerr Brock, Virgil P. Brock, and
Albert Kennedy Rowswell. It was released as a single by Hank Williams under the pseudonym Luke the Drifter in 1950.
Beyond the sunset oh
blissful morning when with our Saviour heaven has begun
Earth's toiling ended oh glorious dawning beyond the sunset when day is
done
Beyond the sunset no
clouds will gather no storms will threaten no fears annoy
Oh day of gladness oh day unending beyond the sunset eternal joy
Beyond the sunset o
glad reunion with our dear loved ones who've gone before
In that fair homeland we'll know no parting beyond the sunset forever
more.
