misswonderly3 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 finance, that stunk. Sorry. I have a pretty eclectic taste in music, but I guess it doesn't include Pat Boone. And what was that weird and creepy religious message the video was on about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I don't endorse them--I just post them. .....I really liked Pat Boone's "April Love" and of course, the FRIENDLY PERSUASION theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cujas Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Miss--Pat Boone was one of the top male vocalists of his decade--great and serious voice. "April Love" always gave me goosebumps. He was probably the first real singer who attempted rock and had a real movie career. See: "Bernadine" and "Mardi Gras" I saw first run--real "cute". His religion doesn't have anything really to do with his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misswonderly3 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Saw the Val Lewton/Jacques Tournier *Cat People* the other night. Great movie, love all the films made by those two guys. Borderline noirish. The remake in the 80s wasn't nearly so good, but it did have a fabulous theme song by David Bowie. Not sure if it's titled "Cat People" or "Putting Out Fire with Gasoline". Anyway, here 'tis. I hear it's one of Pat Boone's favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Bogle Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I don't think I've ever seen the remake all the way through, just bits and pieces. It would be hard to top the original. Sounds a bit like Putting out the fire with Jack LaLanne. It's a few months too late for that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownGoesFrazier Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Coincidence alert! One of today's headlines is "Songwriter accused of molestation dies in apparent suicide". Turns out that his best-known song was "You Light up my Life", recorded by Debbie Boone, daughter of El Swoono. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cujas Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Fi--actually Pat Boone made a lot of money "covering" black rock records for the white audience. Just as the black artist was about to make a splash with a hot 45--Pat covered it and took the mainstream audience. I believe his most famous/or infamous as some may see it was Little Richard's Tutti Frutti and then there was Fats Domino's "Ain't That a Shame".

misswonderly3 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Those White Stripes - always a breath of pepperminty fresh air. So today is May 24th. Queen Victoria's birthday. In Canada, we have this day off to celebrate.Well, not really - to make it a long weekend, we just get the third Monday in May off, whether it's the 24th or not. So often it lines up with your American Memorial Day. Anyway, we bow every time we are amused, and we have fireworks in the evening. Sometimes the Prime Minister wields a sceptre and talks about someone called Bertie. Usually not, though. In fact, I doubt very much if even half the Canadian population actually knows why we get this holiday. Doesn't matter, it's a holiday. So, C.B., since I know how much you adore the British Royal Family, and you can't get more British, nor more Royal, than old Queen Victoria, I figured I'd post a song in her honour. Yup, there aren't that many songs by Queen that I actively like, but "Killer Queen" is one of them. It's a little known fact that this tune is about the late great monarch of the 19th century.

DownGoesFrazier Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I know. Just because he made money doesn't mean he was any good at doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Bogle Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 We are not amused, but cover up your piano legs anyway. I am surprised that anybody is still celebrating that old bag o' bones, but people will do anything to get a holiday. QV is from the high days of British imperialism, so it's is fun to look back and see how far the British have fallen. Now they're just minor lapdogs to Uncle Scam. Sweet. The British and French are getting a little nostalgic thrill in bombing Libya, just like the good old days. Go get 'em Colonel, chew 'em up and don't spit 'em out. I was a pretty big Queen fan, and there's a lot of good songs in their catalog, and Killer Queen is near the top. Too bad the old girl wasn't that exciting. Honi soit qui mal y pense. Ain't necessarily so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Bogle Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Back in bland. I thought Smoke on the Water was nearly fool proof, but Pat comes awful close to screwing it up. Sort of what he did to some R & B tunes. I do like Love Letters in the Sand. It's pretty cornball, but occasionally cornball is hard to resist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRBd60WMmII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redriver Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Little Richard claimed recording studios called on Pat Boone to make sure a black artist didn't have the number one record. They saw the prospect and said, STOP HIM, PAT! Somebody should have stopped Pat. His picket fence rendition of "Tutti Fruity" is ridiculous.
