Pat Boone
Pat Boone (June 1,1934, Jacksonville, Florida- ) is an American pop singer who was one of the bestselling artists of the 1950s and '60s. In a seven-year period from 1955 to 1962 he had 38 songs among the Top 40 hits and six songs that became Number 1 hits. In contrast to many of the rock 'n' rollers of the time, he projected a wholesome, boy-next-door image; his trademade was white buck shoes.
A descendant of the American pioneer Daniel Boone, he later became an ardent advocate of political and cultural conservatism. In December, 2007, he wrote an article in WorldNetDaily attacking the American Civil Liberties Union as "Public Enemy No. 1".[1]
