Frankie Laine and Johnnie Ray - "Up Above My Head"

The two sung this song together on Frankie's TV Show in 1956. The Recording came out in 1957 but never charted in the U.S. but did reach #27 in England. The show sounds corny by todays standards, but I guess that's the way we were back 50 years ago. Gee
I miss thoes times.

Well, I enjoyed this clip.

The comedy is a bit lame, but those two wasn't known as actors anyway.

@dellotti The times were much different back then. But compared with what goes for comedy on TV today, I'll take this..

[markalson1938]

I thought I had all of Johnnie Ray's recordings but this one I can't find or can I find any information on this recording as a single or on a LP. When did Johnnie make this record?

[pop0it0rocket]

I love this song! There's also a version of it by Rosetta Thorpe, a gospel singer.

OK, this stuff was before my time....so I'm wondering if I got this right. But the kidding around before they sing is based on the fact that they're each trying to get their own music across while pretending to choose songs they claim the other would like?

[markalson1938]

You may not have been around then, but you got it right. Each was playfully trying to push their songs on the other one.
