Pat was the second-biggest-charting artist of the late 1950s, behind only Elvis Presley, and was ranked at No. 9 in Billboard's listing of the Top 100 Top 40 Artists 1955–1995. Until the 2010s, he held the Billboard record for spending 220 consecutive weeks on the charts with one or more songs each week. He also holds the record for the most songs recorded by any recording artist.

Pat and Curtis had a wonderful discussion about many things; including his role in the 1970 film Cross and the Switchblade, his 1997 album covering several heavy metal songs in a big band format, his corresponding appearance on the American Music Awards with Alice Cooper and Metallica, and other great moments from his long and varied career. He very recently released a new Country music album entitled Country Jubilee, wherein he returns to his country roots (and this album even features a cover of Crystal Gayle’s hit duet song, You and I, which Pat recorded with Crystal herself). Pat also talks about his most recent book, If: The Eternal Choice We Must All Make.
