Default Frankie Laine

The first time I heard Frankie Laine's
That's My Desire I was swept.
It was such a far departure from his western themes
like Rawhide and a version of High Noon among others.
"Desire" was Laine's signature song and it's
interesting to listen to the different ways
he recorded it starting in the late 40s.
Here are two versions he recorded in
1957 and '58 where the latter has a little more doo wop.
"Desire" is a great ballad; I agree with the commentary
on the video as being Laine's best effort.


1957
