Frankie Laine - YOU KNOW HOW IT IS / ROCKIN' MOTHER

even though Mitch Miller hated "Rock "n Roll" Frankie had to make a try at it. Here are two songs from the late fifties "You Know How It Is" then "Rocken Mother" which he even
sung on the Dick Clark Show in 1959.

Your welcome, Frankie recorded a very large number of songs in his long carruerr. I think most of them are not remembered today. They keep putting out CD's of his work but they keep using the same songs on all of them.

He also tried it with Bubbles - on the flipside of Cool Water in the UK

If you look you will find that I all ready posted "Bubbles". It is under "Frankie Laine -

Tries hs hand at "Rock 'N Roll" That is why this Clip had "Again" at the end of the title.

Frankie's obvious talent makes it all sound good. Obviously, he was a bit too old and had been around too long to make himself into a rock 'n' roller. (btw, I hope the title of that song is "Rockin' Mother"--not "Rocken").

You are right on the name some times my eyes don't see what my hands are typing.

Most of the singers of Frankie's time tried

their hand with "Rock 'N Roll" with about the same results.

"Rockin' Mother" was written by the guy who lived under the HOLLYWOOD sign in a sleeping bag.
