Have been looking for this song for years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Musch appreciated. Franie Laine was always my favourite singer, so if you have any more, I'd love to hear them.
Thankyou for the memories

@DW121937 Your welcome, I ame to please. Take a look I have almost 400 songs on You Tube now and more to come. They are not all by Frankie but they all are from that period in American Music.

highnrising...this song is more than 2 years older than the chart appearance of "My Shoes Keep Walking Back To You"...perhaps it was one of that song's inspirations.

This was on an album "Torchin'" with Frankie Laine.....I remember buying it at a PX around 1961...his rendition of this song blew me away!!

I know memories play tricks on them. I have had the album "Torchin' " since it first came out in 1958. I to bought it in the PX in Germany. But the diference is "OLD SHOES" wasn't on it. This song I really like but Columbia didn't put it on any of their albums of that period. It may have showed up on a Philips album in Europe ,as I don't have listings of all that they put out. But I don't think it would have been the Torchin' album.

Your Welcome, This song had special meaning for Frankie also. In his later years, he did a lot of Charity work around his home town of San Diego. One cause he worked at was raising
money for shoes for the needy and the homeless. This song they played at all the events to raise money.

I never heard this one.
Laine's vocal is great here, but the song just doesn't do it. The lyric just seems odd.
I guess this was around the same time that Ray Price was scorching the country chart with "My Shoes Keep Walking Back to You" but Ray's song lyric was much more simple and direct.
