Today, his record of 220 consecutive weeks on the Billboard charts with one or more songs is still unbeaten.
“It’s a look back both visually and audibly over my many years in the business and more importantly, the historic legacy of the only land that holds so much importance for the majority of us on earth,” Pat Boone says. "I've been to the Holyland over a dozen times and the timing couldn't be better in a world where peace, brotherly love, respect and reaching out couldn't be more important. We are all more excited than words can describe."
In addition to the musical component of the evening, the audience will be treated to a presentation of the seven decades of Israel's history by iconic presenters with a special focus on Israel's numerous contributions to the world. The tribute will also include rare archival footage that will allow the audience to experience these modern day achievements and miracles.
