I saw Pat Boone in South Africa, where he did a show in a big arena. He was booked by Go Tell Communications. It was so nice to see him. He had his daughter Debbie with him and she sang: “You light up my life.” He said it was a hit song for her at their time of being in South Africa.
I mentioned before that my favorite love song of Pat Boone was “Love letters in the sand” and how he said it was the ‘B’ side of his record. It is so strange how things turn out in life. He talked a little about Elvis Presley, and when he did his Elvis song, they had the lights going wild on him to try and accentuate movement or something. After the show we had a nice talk with him, and a few days later I got a letter from him that he wrote to me while on the plane. It was so nice of him.
When we first visited America, we were in Hollywood, so went by his house to see him, but the guy at the door said he wasn’t home. We chatted with him a bit and went on our way. Pat is such a nice guy.
