Pat Boone - Moonglow

I was working in Singapore during the late 80s. For about 1 year during that period, I had to go to Orchard Road twice a week to attend a part-time course. Although I have forgotten about the venue of my class, I still remember that after the end of the class at 10pm, I had to walk past an open-air beer garden (on the same row as Centre Point but a few lots away??) that had live band performances.

Since I loved listening to music but did not have much S$ in my pocket, I normally stopped at the walk way for a while to get a free dose of music. On quite a number of occasions, I knew that I was in for a treat when the guitarist started a new number by strumming then plucking his guitar followed by the lead vocalist's narration, "It was a moonlit night in old Mexico...". That's how I got to know about Pat Boone and the song, Speedy Gonzales.

This Pat Boone's album, Moonglow, does not contain Speedy Gonzales. However, the 12 songs in this album reflects the typical healthy, wholesome and very easy going styles of Pat Boone.

Song List:

Side 1 - Moonglow, San Antonio Rose, Hands Across The Table, You Always Hurt The One You Love, The Very Thought Of You, Girl Of My Dreams

Side 2 - Again, Who's Sorry Now, We Love But Once, It's a Sin To Tell a Lie, Imagination, Unchained Melody
