TVC 638.4: Ed welcomes Pat Boone, the trailblazing singer, entertainer, humanitarian, and philanthropist who recently marked his seventieth year in show business and who will celebrate his ninetieth birthday this coming June 1. One of the first white artists to record rhythm and blues songs to mainstream audiences, Pat discusses his longstanding activism in support of African-American singers and songwriters (including featuring and performing with many black artists on his ABC variety series, The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom, during the Civil Rights Movement) and the praise that Pat once received from the Reverend Jesse Jackson in recognition of his efforts.

Pat's new single, "My Stupid Tattoo," a humorous ode to those who got a tattoo (and later came to regret it), is available as a digital release through Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and wherever else music is sold.
