I'm 43 years old. This was one of my Father's favorite songs. I can still remember him playing it on our record player at home. I hope he can still hear Frankie singing in heaven.
Frankie sang with such feeling. He didn't hold anything back! He could sing any song, any style. Gee, I wonder if he ever sang opera!-John Miller, Michigan.
Frankie dates from my teenage years and that was a long time ago. At least 60 years. Now that I have a computer I can hear all of this . I just love it. Sandra
I am impressed at the strength of Frankie Laine's voice at this age. Many much younger singers don't have that volume or strength at any age. Thanks for posting this.
This man was an icon and preformed for one heck of a period. Loved him and so glad for vinyl, CD's and videos. Thanks for sharing. Sandi, Earth Angel in Wisconsin aka Dragonese1
Frankie laines's greatest hits on vinyl. I know all the songs by heart. I too..44 years old, and still have the record. Answer me and Moonlight Gambler are my faves
This is the only man who can do a western song any justice. trouble is there are too many horrible versions out there...All my favourites are form a vinyl LP 20 Greatest Hits who used his CBS recordings, Brilliant
Frankie Laine came out of retirement for this. With a lot of singers, they do that because they need the money. Not Frankie. He had made shrewd investments that made him wealthy. He did it because the fans wanted it, he still had the voice, and a great performer can't resist performing. Way to go, Frankie!
High Noon, also a great and One of best Westerns ever made in my opinion . Zinnemann was the great director of it and Gary Cooper got , fairly , the Oscar by performing the main character. Grace Kelly , also , well took part of that movie too. And the Soundtrack was this great Song of Frankie.
para mí, los cuatro mejores temas de películas del Oeste son, éste, el de Duelo en O.k. Corral; el de "Mi Rifle, Mi Caballo y Yo" de Río Bravo, y el que compuso Bart bacharach para "El Hombre Que Mató a Liberty Valance", que no le gustó a John Ford y no aparece en la película...

The film version was sung by Tex Ritter,i think it was credited - 'theme song to High Noon-"do not forsake me" sung by tex ritter'. It's sounds very much like Frankie Laine's version but w/o the same vocal gravitas
Interesting. The "YGMAM" vid looks like a different era. Frankie also showed that one doesn't have to maintain a BMI below 25 to live to 90. (Speaking as someone who's shape is more like Laine than Sinatra.)
Based on the fact that the "You Gave Me A Mountain" video has to be from '69-'70, I'd have to guess that this is from the '80s--not the mid '70s. Frankie looks more than ten years older in this video.
Although Frankie Laine sang this song, he turned down the offer for the movie and Tex Ritter actually sang it for the movie... Frankie keep movin' movin' movin' miss you.
This emotion-drenched melodrama version of the words sounded great on Sunday morning radio (when dad had a hangover) - but it would have wrecked the film. Tex Ritter's guarded - almost ironic - understatement is the only way this song can be sung.
I met Marty Robbins way....way back in about 1974, at the Horden Pavillion in Sydney Australia. I was just kid, my dad asked me to take a photo of him during a concert, Marty seen me and asked me up on stage...i think he did country better than Frank...just my opinion folks.
82, come now, give Big Frank a break. Tex version was slightly better, but Frankie's was also great. Wish both were here today to show the no talent generation of today how it was done.
It's a Great and Legendary western Song!
One of best ever.
Eternal one and I'm never tired to listen to this !
God bless Frankie

Such a beautiful voice. My sister who was 9 years older then me played them over and over, that's why I know all the words.
Frankie Laine is a legend of American pop music. His popularity in the 1950's, and his unique voice combine into his legendary statis

GREAT STUFF old classic and it´s awesome!
fantastic voice and great performance
Pure voice.. legend
yes. the campbell rep said he wanted a voice like Frankie Laine, and lo and behold, Frankie was still around. No one else could sing it that way.
Such a rich voice, we miss you Mr Laine.
I second that.
I have the honor of sharing my birthday with Mr. Laine, albeit not the same year.
(I won't tell, LOLOL).
One of my all time favorites good post Happy New Year 2009 - Gene
What a singer GREAT best version ever
Frankie, Supermann !
¡ Simplemente fantastico ¡
¡Que gran voz ¡
grandissima voce che ricordi
Love his voice..
I don't get the top comment, how he didn't got attention he deserved? He is probably one of most known singers of that era and genre.
Powerful song
Thanks for confirming that.

Great rugged voice that Frankie Lane had.
Didn't he also sing the Campbell's Soup commercial, "How do you Handle a Hungry Man?"
That's great. I wish I knew him.
the best !
Hell yeah.

It's sounds very much like Frankie Laine's
version but w/o the same vocal gravitas
Love the song, but that rug he's wearing, WHOA.
That's why the love of music is about sound and not visuals.
What a voice.. 5*

Do you have the title: On the street where you live. Frankie Lane? Post that song please!!!!
Based on the fact that the "You Gave Me A Mountain" video has to be from '69-'70, I'd have to guess that this is from the '80s--not the mid '70s. Frankie looks more than ten years older in this video.
I thought Frankie was the greatest. May he rest in peace
No finer voice than Frank,s
@toots1958 i know!

i remember a commodore 64 game for some reason

Nice, but I wish you caught the beginniing of the song :(
Great voice. But could not help noticing that he checked the status of the syrup a couple of times.
82, come now, give Big Frank a break. Tex version was slightly better, but Frankie's was also great. Wish both were here today to show the no talent generation of today how it was done.
brings back a lot of memories, he was a great singer. Tex Ritter's version was way better.
bad rug
This Frankie Laine interpretation of this song sucks ... Tex Ritter did it best!
I love your music Frankie, but that is one terrible toupe.
Grande Frankie!! Massimiliano, da Campobasso (Italia).
