in my opinion frankie laine had the most distinctive voices of the 50s .his voice speaks right to your soul..oh and great to see champion the wonder horse on the recent hits album...plenty of festive play on my jukebox!
This song is quirky melodically in an awkward manner. Pity Laine who must have had to use a guide track. It's hard for a professional musician to not wince at certain voice leadings. Laine probably ran from the mic after an acceptable take.
how many song version had this movie ??..in another version, Gunfight at the OK Corral Intro - Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas , man's group followed Frankie Laine, ( another singer perform whistle partition in beginning and in middle).. in this version mixed (man and woman) chorus followed Frankie
As much as the theme song from the Godfather, this one--from what I consider perhaps the best of all in the Western genre--brings to me sweet and enduring nostalgia.... Thanks for posting it.
Hollywood wouldn't know how to make a western today if its' life depended on it. Clint Eastwood is the last remaining western movie hero. When he leaves us, sadly, the great Hollywood western will go with him.
This is one of my all time favorite western movies - a great story, a great script, bigger-than-life actors/actresses portraying legendary figures, and a top-notch theme song, sung by a legendary songs-of-the-old-west singer. It doesn't get any better than this!
Toreador 370 you are so right...this was one powerful movie, theme song, and excellent acting. If it were done today it would all about computer generated stunts, explosions, and politically correct BS!
It's hard to decide which is the more perfect western song...Rawhide or Gunfight at OK Corral. You know you have a classic when you can't help but sing along. Cut 'em out ride em in....there they lay side by side.
You decide. Thank you Frankie. PS also love Jezebel.
no need to decide. I could easily name like 10 more songs, "Do not forsake me" from "High Noon" for example, or "Ghost Riders in the Sky", and they are all great.
@MrObie01 No, it was Frankie Laine. Their voices are somewhat similar. I have no doubt that Yarborough was influenced by Laine who was about seventeen years Glenn's senior.
This movie and the music are timeless, both beautifully capturing an era of America's growing pains, pitting a ruthless cattle baron and spineless sheriff against a principled US Marshall, his brothers, and his outlaw friend. Absolutely superb.
There was a version of this song used on a Japanese Gameshow. It had sort of a Rock Beat to it and didn't have any Vocals. Does anyone know of a version of this song that sounds like that.
A great movie about friendship, family, courage and what it means to be a man in general!! They don`t tell stories like this anymore in modern cinema!!
@dolphinsneu - This is Toreador370...that`s right in the historical way. But I never cared about things how they were - but how they should have been.
Hi there from nr Liverpool.The full version of this IS available on a cd, Erich Kunzel & Cincinnati pop orch with Frankie Laine vocals on cd80141 .The complete set of songs he sings throughout the film are included. Good luck in your search,Ernie
Somewhere,some time ago they ,(the music industry and the moviemakers) lost the art of making great westerns and producing great music. Thank God it was recorded.What a 'desert' we're in now.Thanks for posting.Dave.
Only Frankie Laine could have done such a great song, Have you heard the whole set of songs that FL sing throughout the film on a cd, they are great....but be warned the gunfire at the end is deafening (lol) my wife jumped with shock when I had it playing even at 1/2 volume on the hi-fi.cheers ,Ernie B
