Welcome to the Eric Mataxis show with your host, Eric Mataxis.

Hey folks, welcome back. I'm talking to Pat Boone. You heard me. Yeah, you heard me. Pat Boone,

I'm talking to him and he is my guest. That's why I'm talking to him. It's all very logical.

Pat Boone, welcome back. I'm talking back. You've been talking back very successfully. I have to say,

I try not to let my guests get an award and edge wise and sometimes I fail. There's nothing I can do.

I'm doing the best I can. I want to ask you, I like to listen to music from different eras.

And the other day I was just listening, as I was exercising and Ray Conneff came up.

Now people don't know. Most people, any younger than me, have no clue who Ray Conneff was.

Can you sum him up for us?

Well, it's a shame if they don't. And that's what I love about Spotify and some of these music

services. They are introducing young people to music from eras before them that they would not

otherwise probably ever have known. Ray Conneff was one of the great orchestral arrangers.

He was just fabulous. He could make an orchestra play anything. And he was really good

at making pop versions of all the pop songs of the day. And also he added chorus.

He had the chorus sing along with him, which was a fabulous blend. And I don't know if Ray Conneff

was the first or the foremost to do that because other people did it as well. I think he was.

I think he practically invented, I mean, honestly, and this is neither good nor bad, or maybe it's

just bad. But he sort of effectively invented the genre called Easy Listening. I mean, isn't that the case?
