My dearest late husband George and I saw Frankie Laine in England 🇬🇧 twice first time in Scarborough then in Manchester great memories thank you for sharing 😀 ❤❤ God Bless 🙌
Way back in the early 1950s, Frankie, along with Johnny Ray and Guy Mitchell ruled the British pop charts. Then along came Elvis, and the whole world changed. Regards from an 88 year old Englishman who was a dedicated fan of all three, and now, in 2024, still is. March, 2024.
Saw Mr Laine in concert at Portsmouth Guildhall in the 1980s. A great and warm performer. After the show he stayed behind to sign autographs. I still treasure the programme from that night. This is a great reminder if those times.
Just so wonderful to hear these songs again, Frankie had such a distinctive voice one of a kind it took me back to my teenage years growing up in London's east end, my elder brother George would buy all of his records, each new release, what a thrill, eventually I came to live in California in 1975 and I got to see Frankie live in a free open air concert at San Francisco's Stern Grove a great setting , great concert, thanks so much for sharing this.
What a delight that here in 2022 that such a 'lost' gem can be found and cleaned up so that it looks as fresh as today as it did 45 years ago. This is Frankie Laine in 1977, roughly 25 years after his prime, sounding just as imposing. Frankie ranks right up at the tip top of the very best of the 20th Century. Personally I'd rank him at Number 1, over Jolson, Sinatra, Crosby, or any other.
Enjoyed him at the State Theater in Hartford back many years ago ,,,Also many concerts and dinner theaters,,,,Sweet Humble Msic Man…..(To quote another fan)Thanks Frankie🎹🎹
@@lovinraftqueenofnite7708 It's from On a Clear Day you can see forever. Burton Lane and Alan Jay Lerner had one great song left. They wrote It's Time for a Love Song from Carmelina (1979).
And Burton Lane was not done. He wrote one last great song with his primary lyricist, Yip Harburg (who wrote Somewhere Over the Rainbow), Where Have I seen your face before?.
