Pat's version of July spent 2 weeks at #100 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the spring of 1969.

He did do it to the next lines however:
"But I'd just as soon right now, pull on over to the side of the road and show you what I mean"
became
"But I'd just as soon right now, pull on over to the side of the road and prove I'm not so mean"

When I was a kid in the 1950s, I liked Pat Boone's songs, even his cover songs--okay, I didn't know any better. I wonder if the line, "and I have not been known as the Saint Of San Joaquin" from "July. You're A Woman," was a bit of a hard decision for Pat not to sanitize? LOL

Of the more than 30 recorded covers of July are ones by Eddy Arnold, Josh White, Jr., Robert Goulet, and Pat Boone [YES, Pat Boone and to paraphrase JS on his Deep In The Neon album - "Pat Boone recorded me, PAT BOONE recorded me"]. Previous Message
