Frankie Laine Dies at 93

LOS ANGELES - Frankie Laine, the big-voiced singer whose string of hits made him one of the most popular entertainers of the 1950s, died Tuesday. He was 93.

…Somewhat younger listeners may remember him best for singing the theme to the television show "Rawhide," which ran from 1959 to 1966, and the theme for the 1974 movie "Blazing Saddles."

He sold more than 100 million records and earned more than 20 gold records....

Many of us probably remember the theme song from the “Rawhide” TV show (1959-1967)

Rollin, rollin, rollin, Rollin, rollin, rollin.
Rollin, rollin, rollin, Rollin, rollin, rollin Rawhide!

Rollin, rollin, rollin,
Though the streams are swollen. Keep them doggies rollin’ Rawhide!

Rain and wind and weather. Hell-bent for leather. Wishin my gal was by my side.
All the things I’m missin. Good vittles, love, and kissin are waiting at the end of my ride

Chorus
Move ‘em on, head ‘em up. Head ‘em up, move ‘em on. Move ‘em on, head ‘em up Rawhide
Count ‘em out, ride ‘em in. Ride ‘em in, count ‘em out. Count ‘em out, ride ‘em in Rawhide!

Keep movin, movin, movin. Though they’re disapprovin keep them doggies movin Rawhide!
Don’t try to understand ‘em, just rope, throw, and brand ‘em. Soon we’ll be living high and wide.
My hearts calculatin. My true love will be waitin, Be waitin at the end of my ride.
Rawhide! Rawhide!

One hell of a voice, instantly recognizable and he used it long after he was a singing star, in movies and tv doing the theme songs and narrations. Good guy. Dennis

High noon: Do not Forsake Me Oh My Darl'in ...and Ghost Riders in the Sky. All #1's on the hit parade.:sing:

And who can forget:

My heart knows what the wild goose knows,
I must go where the wild goose goes.
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?
A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?

Tonight I heard the wild goose cry,
Wingin' north in the lonely sky.
Tried to sleep, it weren't no use,
'Cause I am a brother to the old wild goose,

(Oh, my heart knows what the wild goose knows,)
(And I must go where the wild goose goes.)
(Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?)
(A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?)

Woman was kind and true to me.
She thinks she loves me, the more fool she.
She's got a love that ain't no use,
To love a brother of the old wild goose.

(My heart knows what the wild goose knows,)
(And I must go where the wild goose goes.)
(Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?)
(A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?)
(Oh, you wild goose.)

The cabin is warm and the snow is deep,
I got a woman who lies asleep.
She'll wake at tomorrow's dawn,
She'll find, poor critter, that her man is gone.
(Oh, you wild goose.)

My heart knows what the wild goose knows,
I must go where the wild goose goes.
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?
A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?
Let me fly, let me fly, let me fly away.

Spring is comin' and the ice will break,
I can't linger for a woman's sake.
She'll see a shadow pass overhead.
She'll find my feathers beside my bed.

(My heart knows what the wild goose knows,)
(And I must go where the wild goose goes.)
Wild goose, brother goose, which is best?
A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest?

(Wild goose, wild goose, wild goose, wild goose.)

The movie Gunfight at OK Corral.


Jim - The best one of 'em all! I was seven and bought the 45.

Oh, my dearest one, must I
Lay down my gun?
Or take the chance
Of losing you forever?

Duty calls -
My back's against the wall.
Have you no kind word to say
Before I ride away?
Away...
