ABOUT DEBBY BOONE AND THE REISSUE OF SWING THIS



Debby Boone's exuberant album, "Swing This," will be reissued on all digital streaming platforms on February 4 via Time Life. The collection of jazzy standards is inspired by her experiences as a child in Las Vegas while her father headlined at iconic venues like the Sands and the Sahara during the 1960's.



"When my father, Pat Boone, headlined Vegas in the '60s, I was there with him - and even though I was just a kid, I couldn't get enough of the music or the glamour," says Boone. "This is my take on the joyful, exhilarating music I heard that inspired me to become a singer," and led her to work with some of the Rat Pack era's biggest icons, including Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis. Jr.



Boone delivers her renditions of classic favorites such as "Sway," "That Old Black Magic," "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'," "Everybody Loves Somebody," "Mack the Knife" and more. Exclusively on this digital release, she ends with her signature hit, "You Light Up My Life," as a bonus track. In 1977, the song was a triple crown winner, taking home an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and a GRAMMY Award and became one of the biggest songs in history, hitting #1 on the Billboard chart for 10 weeks and selling more than four million copies. In 2008, "You Light Up My Life" was ranked #7 in Billboard magazine's 50th Anniversary list of All Time Hot 100 top charting songs. Boone also won a GRAMMY Award for Best New Artist and has received seven additional GRAMMY nominations and two wins since then.



A multiple genre cross-over artist, Boone has enjoyed Top 10 successes on the Pop, Country, Adult Contemporary and Contemporary Christian charts. In addition to her GRAMMY success, she was named the Top New Female Vocalist in the same year by both the Academy of Country Music and the American Music Awards and has received two Dove Awards. Boone has also written six children's books and has performed in an array of musical theater productions.
