Ghost Riders In the Sky By: Frankie Laine

[jrobertsapp]

Nah, Cash's version is far and away the best. Song for a bass, not a tenor.

[catmech33]

FRANKIE WAS THE BEST EVER!! FAN SINCE 1950. WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER FRANKIE LAINE!!

JIM T

[ccromanocc101]

@catmech33 THANK GOD

[sandra23335]

This is great

[larrydonguy]

I'm a very big Frankie Laine fan as anyone visiting my channel will see, however I have to give the nod on this particular song to the man who made it a huge hit: Vaughn Monroe.

[bertalloti]

easily the best rendition of this song, Frankie is ace............

[magimc58]

my mam sang this to me she died 1984.

[rockape560]

frankie laine was the best western singer for the western movies ever

[dubldvideo]

What a neat idea. I like the way you took an old tune and made a modern video out of it. I've been thinking about doing the same sort of thing with my footage of current western artists that specialize in this genre. I'm not sure how you got around the copy rights thing, but hey, way to go! If you like this kind of music and want to see live performances visit us at dubldvideo.

[erciocio]

canzone leggendaria, cantante leggendario. Wonderful!

[captguybob]

pretty good video for 1949 song

[tk745]

Frankie was the best! 

[lordburtbow]

Brilliant

[marysue52uk]

My husband reckons this is the best version of ghost riders in the sky and beats my johnny cash

[billy38010]

Timeless, and ahead of it's time, great sound & video, thanks.

[grannydyess]

good version but vaughn monroe's is tops! love monroe laine johnny western and especially my no 1 marty robbins

[wminer01]

I get the shivers when I hear this song! Totally Frankie!!!!!!

[fredde94]

@wminer01 There's something magic to this song and the video, i also get the shivs, but i get it the most during the part when they ride together through the desert! One word; EPIC!!!!!!

[jtrinca123]

jtrinca123: this video is magnificent i need tips i ve just recently joined youtube message me back asap thanx :)

[pagantruckie]

Love the song but the video is crap

[lincolnscared]

youre really going to put that fucking movie with this song? you gonna ruin anyones first time hearing this with images of nicolas cage and sam elliot

[65kowalski]

There were so many versions of this awesome song. Most of them replaced the original lyric - "Ghost 'herd' in the Sky' - with simply "Ghost 'riders'" because it often - especially in the Vaughn Monroe version - sounded like "Ghost-'turd' in the Sky."

[Achocolatebarrelroll]

Anyone else think the Horse Ghostrider is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,­000,000,000 times more badass, awsome, and just plain cooler than the motorcycle one?

[zuidwijker66]

Great version by mr Laine, but Vaughn Monroes' version is better tough

[garth2838]

frankie does it the best

[TheOhmine]

@garth2838 yes i do.

[mymanrob]

No sir, Mr. "ste123456754" Frankie Laine & Jeff Chandler were NOT brothers!!! Frankie Laine was Italian and Jeff Chandler was Jewish and an only child.

Get the facts straight pal.

[Patd118]

Excellent job!!

[kimberley66100]

フランキーレーン最高！琴線に響いてます。

映画は評価低いですが、楽しめましたよ！

頭使わなくていいです。（ほめてます）

[Condor512]

When I was a kid and go to see a Western, as soon as I heard

the voice of Frankie Laine singing the Theme Song I knew it would be a GREAT movie.

[ROFLMAO980]

The movie waz awsome and who ever said it sux and go sux a dick

[souperman72]

That movie sucked so much. I wish they would make a prequel and have it about cowboys and Sam Elliot.

[ste123456754]

did u know frankie lane was the brother of jeff chandler the actor

[leesheila69]

@ste123456754 sorry to tell you you are wrong jeff chandler was an only child

[fierywench1]

Back in the "50's" this was my Dad's favorite song. I can still hear him singing along. Love this song.

[terpsichoreankat]

I enjoyed your editing n synching with the vocal. You also have exceptional coherence How many hours were needed to construct this?

[lintym]

What a superb voice

[lintym]

super voice

[peterpad1000]

I was still at school when I first heard this song by Frankie. Have been a fan ever since. Ahhh! those were the days.

[banff43]

Frankie Laine had one great voice.

[RossM3838]

Done first by Burl Ives in 1949 and a little later by Vaughn Monroe who had the big hit with it. This version is great and so is one by Johnny Cash but to my ears the Outlaws take it home

[lynnkirton]

Video gud but song better lv it and the man he is bril. Lynn XLX

[95841bailey]

@anthonyhollis1 YES!!!!  Absolutely great music! Cheers!

[mkcmarilyn]

This is one of those oldies I listened to when I was a kid during the 1950's. He captured my imagination and I watched the movie in my head as I listened to this great old song over and over again. Apparently others made it popular, but Frankie was the one I heard and remembered. Enjoy.........A girl from the

50's......MK from Napavine

Wolę wersję z filmu Blues Brothers. (Better for me is version from movie Blues Brothers).

[mrBobcaruana1956]

great oldie, great singer.

[TheAntelwi]

It's a good thing you can't see me, because there's a wide grin on my face.... nice, very nice!

[cf1934]

@anthonyhollis1 You just mentioned my two favorite singers. I became fans of both of them in 1951 when I was a sophomore in high school in Omaha, Ne.

[themoshmenace]

Damn. Another song clipped at the end.

[rte66byhd]

remember this version from when i was a little kid. scared the hell out of me

[jayseah32]

This was recorded during the best years of this nation's history. People were just really happy and content back then. I feel lucky to have lived my teen years then.

[bodryn]

@jayseah32 I have to agree with you. I remember both the Vaughn Monroe version and the Frankie Laine version. We lived on a family farm and life was great!

[jaganjacfan]

This sends the shivers up and down my spine

[niflap]

Last verse sure puts the fear of God into you.

[TheDogsboddy]

@niflap still as fresh as the day it was made , frankie will never die as long as the ghost riders are in the sky

[niflap]

According to Wiki, this Stan Jones classic was inspired by European Wild Hunt mythology, about equestrian spirits who rode through the sky, & were prophets of doom to whoever witnessed them.

[jandroboy1]

No, bully'smom, are you sleeping with Billy Elliot?

[bullysmom74]

wow, did you see sam elliott? wow

[jandroboy1]

In the 1960's a country station in San Diego, KSON, had a contest, in which you submitted your phone number, and if the station called, and you answered the phone saying, "I listen to KSON all the time," you won.

My mother was determined to win that contest. But she had to go to the bathroom, and the phone rang. My brother Mike, who was seven, answered saying, "My Mommy listens to KSON all the time." It was KSON! We won and got to meet Frankie Laine at the El Cortez Hotel for our prize.

[stanleysoldman]

classic! 

[niflap]

Nicolus Cage?

[ambertjeblue]

I was 5 in 1948 when this was released. he really has a special voice, and he did a whole string of this type of song. Strange combined with Nic Cage, but I love Cage so I'll give it 5, as they used to say on Juke box Jury. LMAO

[rabblue]

class

[cassandra1946]

HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!! HE HAS SUCH AN AMAZING VOICE. I LOVE THE WAYWARD WIND TOO AND ONLY FRANKIE LANE CAN DO JUSTICE TO THEM. TRY RAWHIDE TOO, ITS EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[teripat1912]

MISS U DAD

[davidgibbs75]

DAVE LENNARD ONE OF THE BEST UNDISCOVERED LIVE SINGERS OUT THERE!!

[Ghostrider007s]

Nice version!

[caledoonia]

This song belongs to Frankie.

[cliffedward]

They should have remixed this for the movie. Far better than Spiderbait. Great job.

[2000siegfried]

geiles video :)

lg siefried3011

[OREN2465]

Amazing !

[BRm2008]

awesome song!!!

[charlietip1]

go frankie!

[maxdeldollaro]

wonderful!

[Rabje1234]

I kinda love all versions of this song but i love Children of Bodom's the most! \m/

[unity1016]

I love Frankie Laine's voice, but I think you always love the first version you ever hear, and the first one I heard sing this song was Lorne Green on his "Ponderosa" album.

[jimlagos]

This song has such POWER! Especially when sung by a group of sailors in a pub in Dartmouth, at the end of a rough passage offshore. I know, I was one of them. I believe I'm still barred from that pub, along with the rest of my crew!

[chengloki]

@jimlagos Don't feel alone, mate. We've been banned from a few pubs, ourselves. (USS Milwaukee Snipes). You do know what a Snipe is? =Stefan=

[Stanto74]

@jimlagos This was our RAS song on HMAS Hobart.

[arkee71]

@jimlagos man..ill bet you got some stories....:)

[ladyilyenasunhair]

a lot better than johnny cash's version, though his backups don't have the right tone, and the song sounds better in deep baritone or a bass voice.

[kallioney]

Wonderful song, fantastic singer and a brilliant video, thanks nemesis2900 for this post, takes me back to my youth.

[paladin545]

very good, brings back memories. some good, some bad. however, all worth keeping

[bodidahrma]

in tantra, enlightment is known as Mahamudra - the final orgasm with the entire universe - and as a drop of water merging with the ocean is virtually instantaneous, it takes for eternity for the ocean to merge with the drop.

[tran0dai0nghia]

I want to see his face when he sang this song, such amazing voice!

[homomelodycus]

i prefer version of Vaughn Monroe

[MrSkiwicz]

Lots of good competition; and lots of good versions BUT this is the definitive one.

[slimcase43]

Thank you!!!

[SirReinhold43]

Ein geiles Lied und nicht nur mit dem Film zu verbinden

[Phan2Angel7]

You know what the funny thing is? This video, coupled with Frankie Laine's masterful take on a classic song, is better than the Ghost Rider movie itself. 

[jonjon1715]

Best version on You Tube! Well put together. Bloody good job nemesis2900. Love this song brings back good memories and a lump to my throat!

[ingmo9]

oh yes!!

[disident2008]

@anthonyhollis1 73 now.how I wish I could relive those great days. I young stutting fighting Cock. Now a senile old bugger but this song turns the clock back. Many, many happy memories.

[pydo7]

@disident2008 73 years is good, it means that you have lived through the worst and the best of the last century.

You were possibly too young to remember the true horrors of WW2, but I am sure that you remember, as I do, rationing and being hungry.

However, I believe that this period is the best in the history of the world.

I am ten years your junior, but this song is still as haunting now as it was in the fifties, when I used to listen to it on Radio Luxenburg.

Senile be buggered!

[nthqlndr]

Superbly done. Take a bow,

[kato7547]

Haunting

[yukonnahanni]

great version of a great song !!! To, bad , that , a video was used here, as the song , told its own story !!! it was not a story about a cycle !!! its about the History of the Ghost Riders in the sky !!!

[doughesson]

Maybe it's discussed in earlier posts but has anyone posted Frankie Laine singing "3:10 to Yuma" from the original movie?First time I'd ever seen Glenn Ford cast as the bad guy in anything.

[lewisald0]

@doughesson the Frankie Laine version of "3:10 to Yuma" is posted. The beginning of the movie (credits) with Frankie singing the title song is under "3:10 to Yuma (1957) Soundtrack. Glenn Ford and Van Heflin are part of the credits.

[reeelife]

Ironic thing is that I was far more interested in that gravedigger ghost rider than the motorcycle dude x]

[skipper8257]

Frankie, Frankie, Frankie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[karatcha]

Many nice music always come before we born.

Now, I'm waiting for the sequel: Spirit of Vengeance

[theoriginalbadbob]

I was prompted to check out the movie, after watching this video. It's pretty damned good.

[63striker]

Best vocal version, agreed.  I still like the Ramrods the most.

[rileyjeffs]

@63striker Can you imagine the Ramrods music playing in the background to Frankie's version of this great song. Nobody could beat him,Cheers from nr Liverpool, Ernie, a FL fan for 55 years

[cooligalgirl]

the best with this song there was only one Frankie Lane thanks for sharing

[wjb4341]

Yeah I've never heard this version until now and I'm digging it! I'm a huge fan of Cash and Marty Robbins version (even Scatman Crothers) - but this if now my favorite.

[Coucoutchicou]

Yeah, this IS the best version of this song. Thanks for putting it on.

[WaywardWind1]

Okay, I found the song I was looking for --here on You Tube. "Wanted Man" is the song. The album was Hell Bent for Leather.

[Mxsmanic]

Frankie Laine has a great voice. I always tend to think of him singing the theme to Blazing Saddles, though (but that's a great song).

[TheGunslinger5854]

@Mxsmanic Mel Brooks wrote the theme to Blazing Saddles and sold Frankie the idea it was a serious western. He recorded Blazing Saddles and watched only a short bit of the movie before walking out. He never forgave Mel for tricking him like that. It is a great western song for funny as hell movie.

[Nadinereddy]

My father and late husband loved this song.

[WaywardWind1]

Lovemachine71..YEAH!!!! I remember Bowie Knife. Great song. Franike Laine sings these old cowboy songs as well as anyone. I'm trying to think of the title of one that has the opening lines" "Bullet in my shoulder;Blood running down my vest. Twenty in the possee and they'll NEVER let me rest." Do you remember that one? Those were wonderful songs by a wondeful singer.

[larrydonguy]

@WaywardWind1 The title is "Wanted Man" and it's on You-Tube and in the album "Hell-bent for Leather."

[lovemachine71]

has any one ever heard "bowie knife"?by f.l. its not to be found. i have the record but dont quite know how to go about it.if someone could advise i will upload the whole album , which is excellent.

[patrickcorliss]

@lovemachine71

On YouTube at watch?v=_Vgf5L2ucvg

[mainephotographer]

loved this moive

[Johnson53]

I remember all of Frankie Laine's songs from when I was a kid. I used to sing along to his albums, to the delight of my mother. That was a long time ago. I'm glad Youtube has resurrected these memories for me.

[chengloki]

There is no better than Frankie Laine!!!!!!! =Stefan=

[tbladeruner]

makes me wanna get me horse an gun

[airfanteddy]

Frankie, always and still is A great American icon and ever my HERO

Love, R.I.P

[VictorJhonson]

honestly the song is amazing but the movie was cheesy as fuck.

[damama55]

Very nice and sure sounds great.

[krayziemia26]

I am trying to find the with the video I use to see on tv when I was small when they all fly back into the sky in the end and turn into stars. If anyone knows you should let me know, i am going through all the versions for fun

[gummibroetchen]

66 Year old grandma here: having changed my musical taste many a time throughout the years I still LOVE Frankie Laine. He was an all-round talent. Whether he sings soul or jazz or rock or country (I love his cowboy songs best), his voice still give me goose bumps! :-)

[101aznative]

To me this is country and western music. If anyone wants to know about the west listen to this song. I forgot how many stars recorded this song.

[krayziemia26]

@101aznative Yup I am trying to find the one I use to see on tv when I was small when they all fly back into the sky and turn into stars. If you know you should let me know, i am going through all the versions for fun

[TheMajoo0afspf]

very clever, makes this song frankie all that better. of course frankie is already legend. thanks for letting me hear your music. iheard this when i was stationed at amarillo afb. it brings back fond memories to this 77 year old man.

[TheOnlyOneKingElvis]

FANTASTIC

[SirReinhold43]

Frankie hatte den geilsten song seines Lebens mit diesem Lied...

Ich höre ihn immer wieder gerne vor allem weil er das original ist

[brousseau3]

Such a haunting song ..... sung by the best. Frankie had a God-given talent, and sure put it to good use!!!

[DontFallOnMe]

not bad

[MsTroyya]

This song - the best!!!!

[bigals1000]

Awesome version

[wmwalker48]

brilliant song what a voice frankie laine has

[MegaAldoN]

@wmwalker48

Agreed

[verchote]

What a voice! Frankie does an excellent job with this song. I think his version is almost as good as Vaughn Monroe's original. Seriously, this is just a great song that really shows off a great singer's voice.

[slikrok593]

The vocals are great .... but what is the rest of this CRAP ????

[maryduttonhughes]

wonderful video, let this be a warning to boys who play with toys, the devil comes in many disguises

[racergirlalex]

FINALLY they got the side-by-side bike/horse sequence down perfect!

[rysens]

Another American Great, Frankie Laine was one of the the best.

[LynInOrlando]

Great artist, great song, great video. Thank you!

[ovemunk]

The arrangment on this version is Brilliant and Frankie sings it perfectly.

I DO however like the "Blues Brothers" version a lot. :-)

[TOMBANCROFT]

The purists will say V. Monroe had the best version because his was first. Frankie's surpassed it in my view.

[larrydonguy]

@TOMBANCROFT In re Frankie Laine's and Vaughn Munroe's versions of Ghost

Riders in the Sky, both are excellent. Both have a great western feel to them. Laine's has more energy but Munroe's has more of a haunting quality.

[cf1934]

@TOMBANCROFT I remember the monroe version when I was a kid. It was good,but Frankie sings it better! Of course, I may be a little biased since Frankie Laine has been my favorite singer since 1951.

[jtanistube]

Nobody did Cowboy better than Frankie. No one.

love you in the sky and in memory. J.

[peejay33950]

One of the best artistes ever ,never a poor performance class all the way there will never be another like him

[leespuppy]

There was never a better version of this song...although there were many great ones. Frankie Laine was a true Legend.

[rileyjeffs]

I am glad somebody else appreciates a fab singer. I have collected over 500 of his songs,,,he was Great,Cheeers, Ernie

[cci110]

great movie too

[tjduhon]

Good song with good clicks.

[dimges]

great voice, but I preferred classic instrument version style (as Gunfight at the O.K. Corral)

[neilnsue]

Frankie Laine was awesome! Amazing voice!

[crazdayze]

Brings me back to my younger days. I think te video is better than I could do.

[butragueno170983]

it was italian man !!italia caput mundi

[TheTelstar008]

A Great Post..!  "THANK'S..!!!

[SirReinhold43]

the best singer for the the best song ....

[TheDADDYBAILEY]

This is the most dynamic version of this great song also a superb video

[hoesey]

Nemesis: You've done Mr Monroe proud with this excellent video. Great job, thank you for posting.

[SirReinhold43]

nach spiderbait das beste original

[bluejohncreek]

I had the opportunity to run the projectors in our home town theater. It would be safe in saying i saw almost ever western back in the golden era of westerns(ROCKY LANE,LASH LARUE ETC ) didn't realize it then but that was the best time in my life....Oh the memories of that time

[laggie24]

Ohhh those matine pictures with the western times :-) Those were the days when it was good to sit in thepictures with popcorn,bubble gums, legs up high on the seat infront ... not as much blood and brain crashing films like it's poluting to-day. Tks. Mate for ya share.

[knightfalle]

sweet!!!!

[KrautGoesWild]

Sam Elliot and Nicholas Cage riding together - an epic view to behold!

[CDeanWatcher]

I loved that...then it was so anticlimactic when they arrive and Elliot just rode off! Script should have given him a better scene than that!

[rysens]

Frankie Laine, A Legend, Fantastic Artist,

Super Unique Singer. One Of The Very Best. Sadly Missed.

[frogmonster12]

What year did he record this, the beat sounds a lot more modern than 1949?

[markjartansson]

Mar Kjartansson!I feel this Nice song and video go great together
