He was just one of the people who succeeded. Another was Elvis - why do you think Otis Blackwell isn't a household name? Although EP certainly had more soul (the musical kind) than Pat. Obviously this latest move is a goof. But it's a free country. Bill Holmes** bholmes_fm@msn.com http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/8282 VISIT THE WEBSITE!

I agree with Laura's opinion about Pat Boone. Remember his version of "tutti frutti"? IMO, he's trying to cash in on the "Gen-X Camp" ticket. Mel Torme and Tom Jones have already received gen-xer approval (not that Pat can compare at all to Mel or Tom, both of whom I liked before they started doing Mtn. Dew ads and songs with bono). Although I am interested in hearing his versions of the metal songs, I won't be picking up the cd. The guy "always has, and always will be, nada" (to lift a quote from "Pretty in Pink"; hey, I'm not TOO influenced by television, am I?) - -Andrea ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Feb 1997 09:17:17 -0500 From: Brian Phillips Subject: RE: Cultural Blott-o time ...and someone ends up paying! I still recall with great dread the Boone family special that had them all exercising and singing "Staying Alive"(an excerpt). Wonder if he got any flak for that.
