He was a successful pop singer in the United States during the 1950s and early 1960s. His hit songs were cover versions of black R&B artists' hit songs; his talent as a singer and actor, combined with his old-fashioned values, contributed to his popularity in the early rock and roll era. As an author, Boone had a No. 1 bestseller in the 1950s (Twixt Twelve and Twenty). In the late 1960s, he focused on gospel music and is a member of the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.
