OLD 55 6 Report post Posted February 19, 2009 You have a good memory. Besides having his first #1 with 'Delicado' in 1952, he also had 2 accredited Million Sellers with 'The Song From Moulin Rouge (Where Is Your Heart)' -Felicia Sanders vocal- in 1953 and " The Theme From A Summer Place' in 1960. Two Movie themes, which I know will interest Canam. And he was also born in Canada ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dappled 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2009 I didn't like much Pat Boone as a singer but he was my hero in that Jules Verne movie. In 1959 I was 11 so I didn't notice the girl! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OLD 55 6 Report post Posted February 19, 2009 Arlene Dahl ! She posed "semi nude" (whatever that means - topless ?) for Playboy Magazine three years later. "Journey To The Center Of The Earth" was of course remade last year. I haven't seen the new one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farin 2 Report post Posted February 19, 2009 whoa! talk about great minds think alike! I just started a game about that in F&G: Who is that? and I hadn't noticed your posts here before doing that, honestly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OLD 55 6 Report post Posted February 19, 2009 Very Good Martin ! I like the 'Great Minds' bit. But I have about as much of an idea of who your pic is as you probably do of mine ! I used to feature these Quizpics when I ran my Quiz, before you joined I think. I hope your thread goes really well. I'll drop in and see if I know any from time to time. Cheers Mate.

OLD 55 6 Report post Posted February 19, 2009 Nice tries Lars and Elena, but he was more of a Rocker than Nat or JM. Not as full on as, say, Little Richard though. But who was ? To the best of my knowledge he's still alive - a few months older than me. Goodnight All. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OLD 55 6 Report post Posted February 19, 2009 Sorry ladies, not those three. I don't really know much about him except musically. I checked and he is still alive - he's only 68 for goodness sake. He had other minor hits (one more Top Ten), but the song he's best remembered for has been successfully covered by others, including The Beach Boys. But the original has bongos. Pat Boom Metal He must have been on hard times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
