[fanofclassics]

[CK1223]

3 greats rip

[larrydonguy]

Notice the good natured digs Frank Sinatra makes at Frankie Laine's rather unusual hit songs "The Cry of the Wild Goose" and "Mule Train."

[jjaniero]

priceless!!!!!!!

[vial2020]

Does anyone knows the name of the song by Frankie Laine, beautiful song thanks for posting this video awsome

[markalson1938]

@vial2020 If your talking about the song Frankie sung in this clip it's "That Lucky Old Sun" which was a #1 hit for him in 1949. Several other singers charted with this song in 49' and even years later but Frankie's was the BIG HIT and I don't think anyone did it better.

[vial2020]

@markalson1938 Hey Mark thanks for the information, just love this song well appreciated Vic

[billythedoggie]

@markalson1938 your right about Frankie singing this great song...i used to listen to the album he use to sing this song on..and his many others....he put feelings into a song...made you feel the song inside of you i think this was the best song on the album..trying to think of some of the other songs...think i am going to have to dust off the album and listen to it again...

[markalson1938]

@billythedoggie The song "Lucky Old Sun" apeared on many of Frankie's LP's from both Mercury and Columbia records plus many CD's that are still out today.

[53international]

[Honey1931]

08/24/10 JUST DISCOVERED THIS BEAUTIFUL VIDEO. THANK YOU FOR POSTING. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THE EXCEPTIONAL VOICES OF YESTERDAY, COMPARED WITH THE CRAP AND NONSENSE OF TODAY'S SINGERS WHO THE YOUTH OF TODAY WORSHIP. roselli

[ShawtyLikeMe2007]

Perry's adorable :D.

[CarlDuke]

Wonderful clip, and for those who may not know that part at the opening where the 3 come out and say Howdy Doody is a reference to the children's show of the same name that was then extremely popular on television. Also that opening song was sung partly to the tune of I Want a Girl just Like the Girl who Married Dear Old Dad. And the actor at the restaurant was Frank Albertson who appeared in many films and TV shows running the gamut from the Marx Bros. Room Service to Leave It to Beaver.

[Polyphemus47]

Precious! I miss them so much. Thank you for letting me relive this treasure.

[elisebrav]

Sadly we will never see talent like this again....the entertainment industry is full of mediocre rubbish!

[markalson1938]

@elisebrav TRUER WORDS WERE NEVER SAID.

[bud21s]

@elisebrav AMEN ! 

[Taharah007]

@elisebrav You can say THAT again! It is so shocking that in the morning when I am getting ready for work...CNN plays a raunchy tune by someone like Brittany Spears or Lady Gaga...Back in the 50's these songs and videos would have been BANNED for immorality and leudness. What a sad reflection on today's culture...

Thanks for these delicious memories when music actually made sense!

goods souvenirs xxx.

[larrydonguy]

What I like about this clip is the obvious, unaffected fun that Perry, Frank, and Frankie are all having. They are all enjoying themselves immensely while entertaining the audience.

[rioitatiaia]

Muito bom.

[Juliaflo]

To the one who posted this, I sweetly thank you.

You will NEVER, I repeat, NEVER see the likes of this again.

[markalson1938]

You are so welsome. TV in the fifties didn't have the Teck of today but it made up for it in just being entertaining. Now we have 200 plus channels and not a thing worth watching.

[elisebrav]

@markalson1938 Too true.....we will never have talent like this again.

[Taharah007]

@markalson1938 Amen!!!!!

[shunammite]

All I knew about Frankie Laine was "Rawhide" - but I fell in love with We'll Be Together Again and had to check him out - quite an artist - so glad to see him performing - and the relaxed humor - so wonderful, thank you!

[elvisuk]

great stuff,thanks for sharing

[AudiophileTubes]

Thank you 'YouTube' for preserving and archiving HISTORY!!!!!!! I truly hope they have several backup sites for all these videos.

[markalson1938]

YT just gives us the platform, but it's people like me with large collections of old recordings and videos that make it all possible.

[jonahman360]

@markalson1938

And I, for one, love you all for it! My second time watching this one.

[schneppm]

Three greats,,,,where have they all gone! Nobody has ever really taken the place of the singers of my era...the 50's. Thanks so much for sharing....

[Idenio]

Francis Albert Sinatra, Pierino Como and Francesco Paolo Lo Vecchio, tree BIG italo-american!!!!!!!

[Juliaflo]

@Idenio Copy-Cat, LOLOL, using the full and original names, like I do.

[AJP402]

Great post, thank you. Youtube is great, preserving history. They don't have entertainers like this anymore......larger than life

[LDis1]

Amen....

Good Old Days of my Grandparents...

[tomrdee]

Corny enough?

I wish I could turn on the TV and see stuff like this instead of 150 channels of crap.

Thanks for posting.

[markalson1938]

Yes isn't it disgusting, 200 plus channels and not a dam thing worth watching.

[elisebrav]

@tomrdee We could have 500 plus channels but sadly talent like this simply does not exist any more.

[jayseah1932]

markalson1938: thanks so much for all these videos you've given us.

[peejay33950]

great three of my favourite singers on one clip thank you

[Anubis454545]

I wish i could of seen the rest of this!

I almost fell over from laughing when the put the dresses on, and announced themselves as the Andrews Sisters. Good stuff. :]

[motnamegah]

I am && years old and I saw this show so many years ago. I liked it then and i love it now I will be a frequent visitor to this show. Thank you You Tube for bringing many happy memories

[tweezee]

i thought ol' blue eyes and Mr. Como were rivals!

[markalson1938]

They may have been rivals in the music business

and though they were not friends they were not enimies either. Now Laine and Como were very good friends going back to the thirties, when they were both trying to make it as singers. Perry made it a few years before Frankie hit it big.

[brousseau3]

This video w/Frankie, Perry & Frank was just so great!!!!! May they all rest in peace.

[justonemorebook]

Thank you for the posting, enjoyed every second of it.

[Kevlaw19]

hah ur right this is corny lol

but GrEaT music!!

[Michaelbos]

Three Greats of the past

[daitwp]

olease keep these old shows coming they are great memories for us daitwp and jean,

[ciroalb3]

Laine had a distinctive and authentic style, and a very natural voice. It would be interesting to hear what contemporaries thought of him. I suppose he lost popularity because his singing style was a little too strong for the 60s and 70s.

[markalson1938]

Most of his Contemporaries liked him a lot. Many like Commo and Cole tried to help him while he was trying to make it to the top. It's hard to find anyone who had a bad word to say about him.

Yes in the sixties taste in music changed, The sissyfied the music where everyone tried to sound the same. Itwas almost against the law to be able to hold a note. They tried to change Frankie, you should hear the last few

singles he made for Columbia, no wonder he left there as soon as he could.

[ciroalb3]

this is good to know. His bio suggests an authentic person, but you never know about celebrity. On the other hand, Como was certainly a very modest, level headed guy, and Sinatra could be on ocassion.

[Juliaflo]

Before the Three Tenors.....the Three Italian Baritones

[sherom]

Great clip..thanks!

[mexical714]

unfortunatley it ended in a couple of years

[highnrising]

Mark--

This is fabulous. That's one of the best Lucky Old Suns ever--and it's not off the record.

As a long-time Laine fan, I'd never had a chance to see some of his personality before. He seems very appealing in person. I love the part where he says to Sinatra and Cuomo "Well you guys say I can't sing anywhere"--acknowledging all the Laine detractors out there in a humorous way.

It's also nice to see that Cuomo and Sinatra must have held Laine in some esteem to do this extentded bit.

[markalson1938]

A lot of people who grew up in the thirties and early fifties didn't like the fact that

what I call on my web site, the Surpy voice

Crooners were being replaced by singers like Frankie Laine. You can see this in the comment

just above yours. Frankie was one that changed

musical taste. Like Elvis and the Beatles whould do later on. People like me who grew up

in the early fifties welcomed this change and like our generation before us hated when the change to "Rock 'N Roll" came about.

[highnrising]

My mind must have been on a former NY governor when I tried to comment on Perry Como.

I'd be interested in seeing your website.

I got into Laine with "Hellbent for Leather" when I was very young. I only found out about his earlier stuff much later. Now, I mostly listen to his early jazz stuff.

[Resendiz]

Replace Laine with Martin, Crosby, Sammy... anybody. Laine doesn't have the singing talent to be up there with these two.

[markalson1938]

That's your opinion, every one has one. I know I express mind all the time.

[Sicamous]

Are you sure?

[vincero2006]

frankie laine was much better then the over-rated perry cuomo.

you dont have a clue.

[Resendiz]

Sure he was...

[Sicamous]

Are you sure?

[felicia1882]

I thank you too!

[AngusTCat]

The end of this clip is hilarious! Thanks for posting!
