FRANKIE LAINE THE LORD DON'T TREAT HIS CHIILLUN THAT WAY

[highnrising]

I'm guessing that this is an old negro song, based on the alternate spelling and pronunciation of the word "children."

I know Frankie was influenced by and embraced black singers from Armstrong to Holliday to Waller and had famous recordings of Armstrong's "Black and Blue" and "Shine."

Great record, as usual.

Do you know where this song comes from?

A nice reminder of my National service stint in 1955. I haven't heard this one in a long, long time, and it is great to listen to it once again.

Thank you for sharing.

This is the very first recording by Frank that I bought - 5/6d as I remember, on Philips blue label 78rpm.

On the reverse was "My Friend". Great memories!
