I was saddened to hear of Frankie Laine dying.
I will always remember him singing Jezabel and I Believe. Nobody could sing I Believe quite like him.

My favourite was his Rawhide theme tune. Gosh, that's nearly a lifetime away! :bawl:

I loved Rawhide, every saturday night after our bath we would go around the corner to a neighbours to watch Rawhide. Then we got our own tele.
I'm sure there are some Frankie Laine songs I liked, just can't think of any at the moment.

You were too busy oggling Rowdie Yates, aka Clint Eastwood, MB. ;)
Hands off Clint, he's mine. ;) ;)

The one I remember of his is Cool Water. Don't ask me why. When I was a child, it was in our record collection, and it's just one of those tunes that stuck, but I probably haven't heard it for nearly 40 years. I can even picture the record sleeve clearly to this day!
Someone's going to tell me it wasn't him now!

Must have been a 78 Simon, "Cool, Clear Water"
I remember him doing a duet with Johnnie Ray called "Up above my Head"
I have most of his records and also Johnnie Ray. They were both big stars in the 50's

It was definitely an LP, Lona, and I'm pretty certain it was this one (http://www.markalson2.com/lainefan/CL1615.html), or one with a very similar sleeve.

I'd forgotten about Cool Clear Water. I thought it would be interesting ti look up his discography of British hits and was surprised find so many. Childhood memories came flooding back!

I wonder if thats the same song that Jimi Hendrix did ?
I always thought that most of Hendrix's early songs were written by Bob Dylan :dunno:

You missed one Clive
"On the sunny side of the Street" ;)

Wasn't he amazingly young, well so was I, and a little too young to oggling anyone. But yes he was very cute back then.
And Clear Water was the one I was trying to think of, great song. And Mule train, I remember that one as well, I'll have to ask my mother if she still has the album.

Granada was another one of my favourites. In fact I loved all his recordings. :)
