After Elvis, Pat Boone was by far the most popular and successful singer of the R&B era. This unique 2CD set features all his A & B sides between 1953-60 and the first time this body of work has been compiled on one set. Forty eight of these tracks were US hits, fifteen of which were million sellers and includes his No. 1s 'Ain't That A Shame', 'I'll Be Home', 'I Almost Lost My Mind', 'Don't Forbid Me', 'Love Letters In The Sand' and 'April Love'. This is a real gem of a collection! Not only is it filled to the brim with hits but has a fair sprinkling of Pat's B-sides, many of which are rare and hard to find on CD!

The title of this collection seems to suggest that the new millennium is cause for a reexamination of Boone's musical contributions. And that may be the case, if only to remember that he rivaled the chart dominance of Elvis Presley during the early years of rock & roll, and that whereas Elvis popularized the stylings of unrecognized black artists, Boone "protected" suburban America from black R&B performers by offering tamer versions of their hits. As evidence, this collection offers his stilted, ultra-velvety takes on Fats Domino's "Ain't That a Shame," the Flamingos' "I'll Be Home," and Ivory Joe Hunter's "I Almost Lost My Mind," all of which provided hits for Pat. (Strangely absent, however, is his version of Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti.") To his credit, Boone was somehow able to extricate any sense of sexuality or danger from rock & roll -- no mean feat. Nevertheless, one can't dismiss the fact that Boone was a first-class pop crooner, and that when he wasn't committing offenses against rock & roll, he was rivaling the talents of Dean Martin and Eddie Fisher on such well-suited tracks as "Friendly Persuasion (Thee I Love)." -All Music Guide
