The correct answer is 'Pat Boone'
It's rock and roll! Think of the contrasts. Elvis - swivelly hips; beckoning, sly sneer; raunchy music and lyrics; black leather jacket; raw energy. Pat Boone - white buckskins; the milk-on-the-upper-lip smile; sanitized lyrics of R&B songs; a crooner! But it’s true... in the late 1950s, Presley and Boone were ranked number one and two. Now one is remembered as the “King of Rock & Roll”, the other is barely remembered period, at least in the rock & roll context.
Boone charted a total of 38 songs in the top 40 from 1955 to 1962. Throughout this era, Boone made no secret of his devotion to religion and when the passage of time rendered him passé in the world of rock & roll, he smoothly segued into Gospel music. He remains active in the contemporary Christian entertainment scene in all its aspects well into the new millennium.
