So, here’s a Pat Boone song that he didn’t cover; it was an original and recorded for the movie Friendly Persuasion. It was also a #9. For all the past riffs on Mr. Boone, this song is, all in all, OK as mid-50s vocal tracks go. But the lyrics… replacing “you” with “thee” is the lamest concept for a song. Elvis is sitting perched on the top of the chart looking down and Pat Boone records a song with the word “thee” in it? I wonder who was the choice the next generation.
