- One of the greatest Western Songs ever written. This was written by Bob Noland of the Sons Of The Pioneers.
Many singers both Country and Pop have recorded it. Many with great success.
The Sons Of The Pioneers
Vaughn Monroe
Marty Robbins
Johnny Cash
Jack Scott
To Name A few. Frankie's recording was made in 1955 and was popular at the time but never charted.(The charts only went to the top 40 at the time)
But did make it to #2 in the U.K.
Frankie recorded it later on in a more traditional western flavor but lost it's uniqueness. I think the is the best of them all. But that's just my opinion.
This was one of the songs we sang during my 8th grade graduation!
My Dad met Frankie Laine many years and got an autographed photo of him. I have now discovered his music and love it. So now I own the picture with a lovely note from my Dad. I have it laminated,I treasure it because my Dad is almost 89. He and I made amends about five years ago. A month later he was diagnosed with Dementia. Love you Dad. ❤🌈🦋
The sound of the radio during my childhood. How I loved to hear his voice.
No one will has or will ever sing like Frankie Laine. He has the most powerful & dramatic voice which makes his songs so full of energy whatever he sings. However he can also turn his great voice into a slow heart warming ballad. LEGEND
Thank you for the opportunity to hear these great songs sung by the greats!
One of the best singers of all time singing one of the most classic songs ever.
No One can sing like Frankie Laine ! He stands alone as the "BEST" !!!
I thank my mother for playing frankie laine when I was a young kid xxx
we buried mother Mary today and this was one of best hits. she was lovely Bohemian and faithful
I had the honor of seeing Frankie in his 80's, he sounded wonderful.
My Dads favourite song him and my mum loved Frankie Laine mind you so did I.
When Frankie does a song, hardly anyone can top it. I have many many recordings of "Cool Water" and his 1955 single was I think the best.
Love this song, reminds me of my late dad who used to sing it miss him
This man was made to sing this stuff. He has a conviction in his voice, and he sings like he has lived every line.
my heavens, he's good. it's making me weep. his voice is beautiful.
Just found him again. Saw him at the Chiswick Empire in Chiswick, London, England when I was a teenager. Only really fully realised how really smooth his voice was. As you say - beautiful.
My older brother bought the original 78 rpm record in 1955 before being posted overseas with the army, but I had no record player on which to play it ( I was 11 and my parents couldn't afford one) but they did buy a gramophone in 1959 and I played this record to death, and now I'm 72 years old and thanks to TH-cam can listen to it anytime.
Lenny roggers
My older brother did likewise, Ian.
On 78! I inherited Blue Moon by a bloke called Elvis.
If you are from my side of Manchester that might mean something more.
I had the album, wore it out..
Still love Frankie Lane..
Sempre per tutta la mia vita!
Dai miei genitori.
Grazie per avermelo fatto conoscere!
IL MIGLIORE!
I was only a small child when this first came out. I used to sit in front of the 'wireless' and listened all afternoon to all music and this always comes out as one that sticks in the memory, even more so now I've been a fan of Frankie for the last 45 years
I am a big Frankie Laine fan, That's my desire, Lucky old sun, and many others. Perfection. I have many on my itunes.
I haven't heard this in years. It still sounds good. 🇬🇧
Thanks for posting...great voice not appreciated by todays standards..but what a terrific voice of a lovely man, bringing memories of the 50's and a kind lovely man all wrapped up in a cowboy voice.. RIP
My all time fave Frankie Laine song - just right for his voice
Unique voice😊
My Dad loved singing this song along with the radio. Nice memories ...
I've listened to Frankie since the 60s. I'm 55 now and still listen to Frankie most days.
What a singer - powerful, intense and passionate!
Man I just wish there were artists today like Frankie, Johnny, Waylon, Marty, and others of the greatest inspiration. I'm 19 and I learned about them when I was growing up from my mother. Living with with my mom and stepdad you got used to the inspiration. Most American kids today have no idea what REAL music is, they rather Justin Bieber or who ever is the newest hits today. They forget creativity.
if you not love mr Frankie you are lost
The greatest version, from the greatest singer the world has ever known.
Exceptional voice. Love his singing. Thank you for sharing.
I live in an area where this, and Tumblin' Tumbleweeds, are too appropriate.
Love the singing, energy, long phrases, right pitches! None of this "breathy I'm so deep in love" disguise for "I can't really sing."
Love this song. My Mother used to play it, and I can still sing it in my mind.
Has to be one of the best songs ever made ☘
wonderful visiting Frankie, Id forgotten how many hits he had,
thanks for the memories!
Love this guy still
I fell in love with Frankie Laine age 15 when I first heard this version, now 75 and I've just added it to my IPad playlist!
75 and you have a IPad? I'm 75 and I broke down and got a kindle, I guess that's progress I don't even have a smart phone, yes I'm stuck in the fifties, my wife tells me that all the time.
It's a great time to be stuck in.
I'm nearly 80 and loving every minute of Frankie on my crappy old computer. No matter what...Ipad, Ipod, smart phone, Frankie sounds bloody great
This goes out to all of us who have suffered from the water crisis in Toledo, Ohio, as of now it's okay to drink it after the scare since Saturday morning.
Hey, how are you?
I loved this record in my teens, many moons ago! Lovely to hear it again
How are you doing and the weather there dear?
This is a great song, I don`t know that I have heard a bad version. my opinion & I know others will differ, this is the magic version, I & my dad loved also Slim Whitmans version.I am old enough to have queued up at the record shop to try to be the 1st to get Frankies new 78s.I have hundreds 0f old 78s. as many as 4 of some of Frankies hit records. I have him on Columbia as well as Phillips.Strange lady in town was coupled with the Tarrier song on Phillips.
I'd like to hear the parody "Buffalo Pound Water" again. Haven't heard it since the 80s. Buffalo Pound water has a lovely green sheen and is extra thick and chock full of nutrients.
I remember this song by Marty Robbins. My first to hear it by Frankie. ❤
all ways remember this song liveing in the namibe desert drilling for copper .i saw frankie in manchester hiperdrome ardwike green in the fifties what a pafformer and i am 80yrs old
The minute I heard the 60s version...KNEW IT WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL VERSION! THE 60s does not replace THAT ORIGINAL VERSION...'cause I grew up with that one! GREAT ...IT WAS AND IS!
My favorite version of this great song
Love this song..so long since I heard it. Tks for posting it.
I just wish there were kids your age who knew what good music was.
I started listening to Frankie in the 50's, this is undoubtedly one of his finest recordings along with "Jealousy" and "Jezebel". Thanks for posting it.
Was always z great song❤
Frankie puts so much heart in his singing, so dynamic. High Noon is one of his best Western songs. To me its a classic song representing all Police Officers in the United States. Ret. Lt. NYPD
Thanks for this. I remember my Dad liking it when I was little.
THE BEST !
Excellent country record from the 1950's.
Powerful voice and the right feeling for this well written tune. 50's and 60's were Frankies best years for record sales and the strength of his voice. Lovit.
I remember people getting in trouble in class when repeating "water" in the deep voice, god it was funny.
Let's face it, Frankie could cover almost any type of song with his unique style.
I realize Im kind of randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to stream new tv shows online?
thanks again markalson1938, anoth top song sung to perfection,
We sang this song in elemtary school, was one of our favorites, teacher always saved it for last, we also sang hava nagila (sp) was also a treat, where has the world gone?
My dad loved this song and got me into Frankie lane just wish I could listen to it with one more time
I never said it was the best,...I still think the original Sons of the Pioneers is the best, but I liked it for the change of pace...Thank you for you comments and for putting it on TH-cam....
I wish i had a drink of cool cool water right now
I really like this song
I know all the words to this, sung it many times, happily.
How are you doing and the weather there dear?
I'm good thanks
No other singer delivered with so much gusto and passion.
excellent scenes to go along with one of Frankies' greatest
thank you markalston1938 for uploading such fantastic music by frankie laine he was awesome i just love listening to him!!!
Just listened to this via bluetooth on my hi fi, what a quality sound for its age.
You would be suprised has to how many
people of your generation love this type of music. I get a lot of letters about my stuff on TH-cam or my web site wanting to know where this music went. The problem is not many of the young get a chance to hear this kind of music. So how are they to know that there is something besides the crap that they are fed. Like Simon says "It'e Just To Old Fashion"
Love Frankie Laine, met him several times and have a78 he didn't;t even own himself - Swan Song backed by My Old Ohio Home. I took the record to Melbourne (Australia) TV studio Channel Nine and he taped a copy to take home. Happy memories of a lovely man
the best version i have ever heard frankies the greatest
this is when you could hear the words to popular and good music. Very good.
Still got 3 of the 78s. magic unique Frankie.
i agree. the song is great. lets not forget the singer.
Hey, how are you doing today and the weather there dear?
I remember this song from my childhood. I grew up listening to Frankie Lane, Jimmy Dean, Johnny Horton, Marty Robins and others.
Thanks for posting this great record. We are in the grip of a heatwave and drought here in England, it brought to mind this song, whilst outside watering the plants and I looked it up on TH-cam. I'm glad I did! What a great song and Frankie Lane was one of the all time best singers- what a great voice he had.
one of the best.
Met Frankie many times he was so jovial
and he had a voice of gold I have a stack of his recording going back to the Jazz era.
When he preformed in the Empire Liverpool two women fainted and he had to stop his performance for 10 min. RIP big man..
I always liked this version best. Thanks.
1955? I was 13 then and loved this song then. Still do!
If I remember this song, we played it on a 78 record on a wind-up gramophone.
Remember a lyric "Deep in the arms of love" , didn't hear it in this video. Maybe a different song? I do remember the song was called Hawkeye. This was in 1963-64. Good song of a by-gone era.
I had the recording in 1955 and thought it was the best of any artist that recorded the song. That is one of Frankie Lane's best recordings. Any song that he sung I thought was great.
RIP.
Charted in the land of survivors living other survivors. Cool Clear Water as in a Star. A perfect pool of water. A clear blessing for the Survivors from their Western Friends. Brian A Koller
This man had the most fab voice ,love this song
Hey, how are you doing and the weather there dear?
Takes me back to my younger years too Brian. We used to play the 78rpm over and over. Great song. Annie
Genuinely, what a great mix. 😎
Terrific interpretation of a powerful song by a wonderful singer.
the best version, in my opinion.
Love this song. From my early teen days into my seventies.
loved this song as a kid and still do.
Yeah. I'm 15 and love this music.
FRANKIE LAINE -COOL WATER - HERMOSO TEMA Y VIDEO !!!
Yes Frankie could put music to a telephone book and make it sound good.
my dad and I listened to frankie lane growing up, and when the netflix show made by the cohen brothers had this song 'the tale of buster scruggs' i sang along :3
love this song its makes me get goose bumps!!!!
Superb voice, takes me back to my childhood. 5star artist.
I love Frankie Laines version of this great western song.
The video is very outstanding, great imagination and the pictures tell the
story. Thanks for posting it.
I once heard a version of this song in San Francisco 1948 by Dude Martin which sounded really nice.
toda mi familia ha adorado a frankie durante años.sus canciones son maravillosas.desde España un saludo.mercedes.
I don't think many would claim that Frankie had the best voice in the business, but what he could do with his few if any could beat.
Lovely memories of my dad singing this
Yes! ... I too want water! .. you're right, guys, he's good!
