 Pat
Boone is the SeniorSite expert on music from the '40s, '50s and '60s. He
sold more records in the '50s than any other artist except one - Elvis
Presley.
Besides breaking boundaries in pop music, he starred in 15 motion pictures,
wrote several best selling books and songs, hosted his own TV variety series -
The Chevy Showroom - and became a Magna Cum Laude graduate from Columbia
University.
With his wealth of entertainment knowledge, Pat offers recommendations on
music and movies that will bring back precious memories for you and your
family.
With the age of electronics, crooners emerged as sweet and easy serenaders who could sing intimately into the microphone. The days of early radio were home to my idol
Bing Crosby, whose gentle rendition of "Moonlight Becomes You" is just one of the many gems featured on
THE CROONERS COLLECTION VOLUMES 1 & 2 (Gold Label).
Vaughn Monroe demonstrates his hearty baritone on his hit
"Ballerina", Vic Damone provides a romantic serenade on
"You Stepped Out Of A Dream", the soothing sounds of
Perry Como fill "It's Impossible", and the one and only
Frank Sinatra joins the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra on
"Fools Rush In".
 To complement this collection, the Gold Label also invites you to dream along with these starry night voices on
THE CROONERS. I narrate this comprehensive video that time-travels back to the megaphone days of
Rudy Vallee and into the thirties with the lustrous charm of
Russ Columbo.
We soon move into the postwar fifties and early sixties, with rarely-seen archival footage of performances by such luminaries as
Crosby, Como, Al Martino, Johnny Mathis, Nat King Cole, Eddie Fisher, Bobby Vinton and Mel "Velvet Fog"
Torme.
 I also do my own tribute to
Old Blue Eyes, with the Sammy Cahn classic "All The Way" that I performed on my fifties variety show, The Chevy Showroom. I know you'll love this!
