The Man from Laramie sung by Jimmy Young for October 1955 4 weeks at no1 and 12 weeks in UK chart written by Lester Lee and Ned Washington. Used to love this when I was a kid and everything was cowboys and injuns. Nowadays its gangsta and fantasy.
The Film
The Man from Laramie is a 1955 American western movie directed by Anthony Mann and starring James Stewart. Lockhart (James Stewart) becomes entangled in the happenings of Coronado, an isolated western town, after delivering supplies there. He is especially involved with the Waggomans, an influential ranching family, and begins his search for someone selling rifles to the local Apaches, as his brother died in one of their attacks. Near the end, he discovers that the seller is the son of the most powerful man in the area.
Song by Lester Lee and Ned Washington
The man from Laramie
He was a man with a peaceful turn of mind
He was kind of sociable and friendly
Friendly as any man could be
But you never saw a man out-draw
The man from Laramie
The man from Laramie
He was a man with a warm and gentle heart
But when they'd start the arguing and fightin'
Frightenin' and lightning fast was he
There was no coyote who could outshoot
The man from Laramie
He had a flair for ladies
The ladies loved his air of mystery
The west will never see
A man with so many notches on his gun
Everyone admired the fearless stranger
Danger was this man's specialty
So they never bossed or double crossed
The man from Laramie
He had a flair for ladies
Now the ladies loved his air of mystery
The west will never see
A man with so many notches on his gun
Everyone admired the fearless stranger
Danger was this man's speciality
So they never bossed or double crossed
The man from Laramie

Jimmy was my grandmother's cousin. They had their roots in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire. This is the first time I have heard him sing. Not bad.

This hit by Jimmy Young was the 4th #1 song in the United Kingdom at the start of the Rock Era (July 9, 1955). And he was the first to have 2 #1's in the Rock Era. He had the first #1 hit at the start with Unchained Melody. I guess that Jimmy Young made Rock History in the UK.
