Frankie Laine - Kiss Of Fire

[irismcooper]

Blue eyes are my weakness, too. But my husband has brown eyes, and he is my hero. What is a girl to do.  Tell us Connie and Frankie.

Always,

Feisty Mom

[ariesviolent]

Amazing!

[waynebrasler]

Georgia Gibbs had the biggest hit. Tony Martin also had a hit with the song. And Toni Arden. Connie Haines toured as the opener for Frankie Laine in the early 1950s.

HI out there,

I always loved Frankie Laine. Connie Haines is adorable and what a voice.

Feisty mom

surrender please

[Harbingerist]

He makes an operatic aria of it, very dramatic. The girl announcer is very, very funny! Great singing!!!

[kcdl]

LOL at the kid's acting! I, am, not, reading, from, cue, cards....

[grannydyess]

loved frankie laine almost as much as i love marty robbins. he was good! he is gone now, but we still remember him thru his music. thanks for sharing this.

This is an excerpt from a filmed weekly syndicated series Frankie starred in during 1955-'56 {39 episodes} for Guild Films [their most famous "syndie" series in the '50s was "THE LIBERACE SHOW"]. Commercial breaks were locally inserted at :07 and 6:58...

It looks like someone is sticking their finger in his ass when he hits those high notes.

[dropover]

Do you just go around the net making iditotic comments? Idiot.

[5timesacharm]

Yes I do-but mostly I like to see what ASSHOLE answers me back.

Thanks for asking.

[eddiemac303]

enjoyed that clip

[williamjaysmith]

"thats my weakness now" is a cliff edwards song

[verbusen]

That was an obscure post, thanks for something that seems so hard to find! Now if I could be a wise young whipper-snapper, Frankie Laine and Joe Pesci (from Good Fellas) are twins. A mash up of Frankie singing with cuts of Joe asking "you think thats funny?" scene would be a classic for youtube! LOL Thanks for the post!

Actually I think Frankie should have been used as as the singing voice (if one had ever been needed -- perhaps in Gunfight at the OK Corral) of Kirk Douglas.

georgia gibbs recorded this song and made

it a  hit..

[markalson1938]

Several people had hits of this song which I stated in the Discription box. But Georgia had the biggest hit but Frankie should have recorded it, I have no idea why he didn't.

[cornermoose]

Kiss of Fire was a bigger hit for Georgia Gibbs, and is my signature song in karaoke.  It's amazing how powerful the tango can be, even to the twentysomething crowd.

[markalson1938]

Frankie never recorded this song this is a clip from his TV show back in I think 1954.

[diprovenza]

I am very certain that Kiss of Fire was recorded by Frankie Laine. I was in high school then--about 1951 or 1952 and used to listen to this song and several others by him--including a song that began with "It's a quarter to two ..." I believe Kiss of Fire was recorded by RCA (78 rpm record). The tango music is known as El Choclo in Spanish.

[rileyjeffs]

The song that starts "It's a Quarter To Two" is "One for the Road". I always thought the correct title was Set Em Up Joe, but learned my error some time ago. All the best from Merseyside; Ernie, a lifelong FL fan.

[highnrising]

I believe "One For The Road" starts "It's a quarter to THREE" (The next line is "There's no one in the place except you and ME"!)

"Set 'Em Up Joe" was a much later song recorded by the great country singer Vern Gosdin in the early '80s. It references a vintage country jukebox that play's ET's (Ernest Tubb's) "Walkin' The Floor Over You."

"Set 'Em Up Joe" did always make me thing of "One For The Road."

[cornermoose]

The title is "One For My Baby and One More For the Road." Whatever time it was, we used to play with it: It's quarter to ten. There's no one in the place except Gentle Ben."

Frankie has been my favorite singer since 1951 and I don't remember him singing this song.I checked Frankie Laine on wikipedia and they did't show this as a recording of his.

[swalet]

how can i convert it to mp3

[markalson1938]

There are several softwear programs you can use to do this. The one's I use are "Roxio Easy Media Creator" and "Switch Sound File Converter". You can use Roxio to seperate the sound from the video and then use Switch to convert to any formate you want.

[smurfswacker]

Great voice, good song. It's weird to see the announcer so ill-at-ease; the kid had more stage presence than he did. Wonder what that was all about.

[lessaiao]

Connie Haines perhaps.
