Pat Boone songs, bio, movies, pictures - Boomers Pinups
Pat Boone with those white patent leather shoes, what style! He was the "All American Boy"..even Mom and Pop approved of him. The tunes he sang, such as April love and Love letters in the sand, made us sway~ After starring in the movie April Love he caught our attention even more. He does a good acting job playing the misunderstood, delinquent teenager.
