At just 19 years old he married Shirley Lee Foley, daughter of country music star Red Foley.

One year later he was thrust into the limelight with his first hit, his version of Fats Domino’s “Ain’t That a Shame.” In 1956 he had a number one single and the only other singer that was ahead of him in the charts at that time was Elvis Presley.

At just 23 years old he had his own show The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom airing on ABC every week for 115 episodes until 1960.

“I was the youngest guy ever to have his own network music variety show, at 22,” Boone told Closer.

His career went from strength to strength and he went on to become one of the biggest recording stars in the U.S. and starred in movies such as Journey to the Center of the Earth, State Fair, and The Greatest Story Ever Told to name but a few.
