January Jones-Pat Boone by Scott S. Smith

Scott Smith discusses Pat Boone from his article at Business Daily Investors

Pat Boone is finding it hard to slow down at 81 — after six decades in showbiz. He capped his career sales of 45 million albums with the announcement that last year's "Legacy" would be his final album with original songs.

But the Christian entertainer finds temptation everywhere, like being able to release audio outtakes from the TV show that made him a household name in his early 20s.

The new "Duets" features pairings with long-ago guests such as Ella Fitzgerald, Andy Williams and Nat King Cole.

As if that weren't enough, Boone:

• Just finished parts in two films.

• Has had a weekly contemporary gospel music radio program for 30 years.

• Is considering dozens of requests to perform.

• Is in discussions about hosting a TV variety series.
