Biography [edit]

Beginnings [edit]

Debby Boone was born in Hackensack, New Jersey, the tertiary of 4 daughters born to vocaliser-role player Pat Boone and Shirley Foley Boone, daughter of land music star Blood-red Foley. When Boone was 14 years old, she began touring with her parents and three sisters: Cherry, Lindy, and Laury. The sisters first recorded with their parents equally The Pat Boone Family and afterward as the Boones or Boone Girls. They primarily recorded gospel music, although the sisters also released singles for the Motown and Curb labels that were remakes of secular pop music featuring Debby every bit the lead vocalist.

The Boones twice reached Billboard'southward AC charts with 1975's "When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Optics" (No. 25), a remake of the Supremes' first top 40 striking, and 1977'due south "Hasta Mañana" (No. 32), a encompass of a track from ABBA's Waterloo album.

"You Low-cal Upward My Life" [edit]

With her older sisters married and younger sister Laury in college, Boone was actively encouraged by producer Mike Curb to launch a solo career. Boone released her first solo endeavour, "You Low-cal Upward My Life" (which had been featured in the film of the aforementioned name), in 1977. The song became the biggest hit of the 1970s[4] lasting x consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 – longer than any other song in Hot 100 history to that point.[5] (In 2008, Billboard ranked the song No. vii amidst all songs that charted in the fifty-year history of the Hot 100.) The song earned Boone a Grammy Honor for Best New Creative person and an American Music Award for Favorite Pop Single of 1977.[6] She also received Grammy nominations for Best Pop Vocal Operation – Female and Record of the Yr won by, respectively, Barbra Streisand ("Love Theme From "A Star Is Born" (Evergreen)") and the Eagles ("Hotel California"). "You Calorie-free Upwardly My Life" also succeeded on Billboard 'due south Adult Gimmicky (No. i for one week) and Country (No. 4) singles charts.[7] The single and the album (No. 6 Popular, No. half dozen Country) of the same name were both certified platinum.

The song, written and produced by Joe Brooks, was from the picture of the same proper name. Brooks earned Song of the Year awards at both the 1978 Grammys[8] and Oscars[ix] for writing the song. (Boone performed the song at both awards shows.) Boone's version was not used in the film, nor featured on its soundtrack. The song was lip-synched in the film past its star, Didi Conn, performing to vocals recorded by Kacey Cisyk.[10] It was written every bit a dear song, but Boone interpreted the vocal every bit inspirational and stated that she recorded the song for God.[11]

Boone's overnight success led to a tour with her father[5] and frequent television appearances, but she was unable to maintain her success in popular music after "Y'all Light Up My Life". Her follow-up single, "California" (besides written and produced by Joe Brooks), peaked at No. 50 Pop and No. xx Air conditioning,[two] and was included on Boone's second album, Midstream, which faltered at No. 147 Pop. Her side by side unmarried, the double-sided "God Knows"/"Baby I'yard Yours", also struggled, peaking at No. 74 Pop, becoming her terminal entry on the Hot 100.[ii] However, the single charted Air-conditioning (No. xiv) and returned Boone to the country chart (No. 22). Boone then released some other film theme, "When You're Loved", from The Magic of Lassie. Like "You Calorie-free Up My Life", the vocal was nominated for an Academy Award for its composers, the Sherman Brothers,[11] merely it failed to replicate the success of her first unmarried, charting only No. 48 AC. Boone's wholesome persona contrasted with the paradigm-witting pop-music industry, leading her career in different musical directions.

Country music [edit]

With the crossover success of "You Calorie-free Upward My Life" and "God Knows/Infant, I'm Yours", Boone began to focus on country music.[12] (Her maternal grandfather, Crimson Foley,[12] and her father had also recorded in that genre.) Her commencement state single, "In Retentiveness of Your Love" (1978), fizzled at No. 61. Only, she then hit No. xi in 1979 with a remake of Connie Francis' "My Center Has a Listen of Its Own".[7] Boone released another Connie Francis encompass, "Breakin' in a Make New Broken Heart" (No. 25),[7] earlier releasing her 1979 eponymous anthology. Although the anthology included the ii Francis remakes, her side by side ii singles were not culled from this album—a remake of the Happenings' "See You lot in September" (No. 41 Land, No. 45 AC), and some other Connie Francis cover, "Everybody's Somebody's Fool" (No. 48). (To date, "Encounter You in September" has never been featured on any of Boone's albums, while "Everybody's Somebody'south Fool" was included on her 1986 compilation The Best of Debby Boone.)

Her next album, 1980'southward Love Has No Reason (No. 17 Country), was produced past Larry Butler who helmed many of Kenny Rogers' records during the tardily 1970s.[12] It resulted in the No. 1 Country[vii] and No. 31 Air-conditioning hit, "Are You on the Road to Lovin' Me Again". Ii weeks before Are You on the Route to Lovin' Me Once more ascended to No. 1, Boone was part of a historic Meridian five on the Billboard State chart. For the week catastrophe April 19, 1980, the Height 5 positions were all held past women:[thirteen]

  1. Crystal Gayle ("It's Like We Never Said Farewell")
  2. Dottie West ("A Lesson in Leaving")
  3. Debby Boone ("Are You on the Road to Lovin' Me Over again")
  4. Emmylou Harris ("Beneath All the same Waters")
  5. Tammy Wynette ("Two Story House" with George Jones)

The album generated 2 more country singles, "Costless to Be Lonely Again" (No. fourteen)[seven] and "Take It Similar a Woman" (No. 44). The latter single charted simultaneously with her father's "Colorado Country Morning" (No. lx). Butler besides produced Boone's next album, 1981'due south Savin' It Up (No. 49 Country), which yielded two more state singles, "Perfect Fool" (No. 23 Land,[7] No. 37 Air-conditioning) and "It'll Be Him" (No. 46). Boone has not charted on either the Billboard AC or State charts since the release of Savin' It Up.
