Boone, the squeaky-clean daughter of Pat Boone, had a knack for finding success in different genres, which showcased both her talent and impressive versatility, according to American Songwriter.
Before landing her No. 1 country smash, Boone’s foray into the country genre began in 1978 with the song “In Memory of Your Love.” She followed that song with a string of covers and a self-titled album. But it wasn’t until her next album, Love Has No Reason, that things began to take shape.
A Triumph for Female Country Artists
Two weeks before reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, the tune was climbing from No. 3, positioned among four other tracks by women that made up a historic all-female Top 5. Those spots included Crystal Gayle’s “It’s Like We Never Said Goodbye,” Dottie West’s “A Lesson in Leavin’,” Emmylou Harris’ “Beneath Still Waters,” and Tammy Wynette’s “Two Story House” with George Jones.
Making a Change
Though Boone managed to secure a top song, becoming a standout in the country format, she didn’t stick with the genre for very long. A year after making waves, and following up her No. 1 hit with two more singles — “Free to Be Lonely Again” and “Take It Like a Woman” — and another country album, 1981’s Savin’ It Up, Boone transitioned her focus toward contemporary Christian music and theater, later earning multiple Grammy Awards and four Top 10 Contemporary Christian albums, among other successes.
