Gospel Legend Pat Boone is saying farewell. Boone says his new album, "Legacy" will be his last. The album features 17 Christian songs, all written by Boone.    

"I figure if I am going to do a last album, I would rather it be this kind of music because I expect to be singing this after I have passed away. I am going to be up there singing some of these songs," The 80-year-old singer said.

Boone says he can still sing, but it's harder than it used to be. He says when he was young it was "so easy, like breathing."

One of the songs on his "Legacy" album is called "Breathe," a prayer to receive the breath of God.

Boone's career spans more than 60 years.  As a pop singer, he had dozens of Top 40 hits in the late 1950's, and was the second biggest seller on Billboard's charts after Elvis Presley.
