Pat Boone | Mustang Alumni Awards 2022

In the 1950s, only one performer rivaled the chart dominance of Elvis Presley, and that was Pat Boone. He was the very essence of wholesome American values, and during his career, recorded 38 Top 40 hits. He made his recording debut in 1954 on Republic Records and secured several number one hits.

Pat has sold 45 million records worldwide, has 13 gold singles, two gold albums, and a platinum album, and has recorded over 2,300 songs…more than any recording artist in recorded music history! He’s starred in 15 movies and has three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2003, Pat was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

When Pat was a student at David Lipscomb College, he and fellow student Don Henley co-wrote the college’s alma mater, still sung today.
