History
Frankie Laine, born Francesco Paolo LoVecchio in Chicago in 1913, was an American singer who became one of the most popular vocalists of the early 1950s. Discovered by songwriter Hoagy Carmichael, he signed with Mercury Records in 1945 and broke through with "That's My Desire" (1947) and the chart-toppers "That Lucky Old Sun" and "Mule Train" (1949). Moving to Columbia Records in 1951, he worked with producer Mitch Miller on a run of hits including "Jezebel," "High Noon," and "I Believe," blending big-band crooning with country-pop and gospel-tinged material; he was often billed as "America's Number One Song Stylist" or "Mr. Rhythm." Laine became closely tied to Western film and TV themes, singing the title songs for "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral," "3:10 to Yuma," and the CBS series "Rawhide." A notable piece of trivia: when Mel Brooks put out a call for a "Frankie Laine-type" singer for the title song of "Blazing Saddles" (1974), expecting an imitator, Laine himself showed up and got the job, later earning an Oscar nomination for the song. He died in 2007 at age 93.
