Frankie Laine had a really good voice, for sure, but his delivery (phrasing, emphasis) made him a stand out to me. I feel the same way about Bobby Darin and Gladys Knight. Frankie Laine's hits are timeless gems...have a listen to "That Lucky Old Sun," "Jezebel," "I Believe," and "Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling" and you'll readily appreciate his talent.
What a voice
Frankie Laine who recently died at age 93 was a man whose music I have never heard...until NPR played part of a song.
Although I am more drawn to the female voice, what little I heard of Mr. Laine stopped me in my tracks. A voice like buttah.
