The legendary singer, actor and television personality turns 92 years old on June 1. During the 1950s and early 1960s, Boone became one of the defining stars of the era, selling millions of records and scoring hits with songs like “Ain’t That a Shame,” “Love Letters in the Sand,” “April Love,” “Don’t Forbid Me” and “Moody River.”
At the height of his fame, Boone even rivaled Elvis Presley in popularity, and the two stars crossed paths during the earliest days of rock and roll, years before either singer fully became a cultural phenomenon.
“He looked like the bad guy you’re not supposed to associate with at school,” Boone recalled. “The girls would be fascinated with him.”
Though rock and roll changed dramatically in the decades that followed, Boone never really disappeared. He continued recording music, acting in films and television shows, hosting radio programs and performing live well into his 90s.
Boone was married to his wife, Shirley, for more than 65 years before her death in 2019. Together, they raised four daughters, including singer Debby Boone, whose smash hit “You Light Up My Life” became one of the biggest songs of the 1970s. In fact, Pat and Debby are one of only two father-daughter teams who each had No. 1 singles (the other one being Frank Sinatra and his daughter Nancy Sinatra).
