Frankie Laine - Early Video of "Jezebel"

This was taken from one of Frankie's early TV appearences. I read that Frankie didn't get the credit he should have because other singers didn't cover his songs. Well they didn't because the couldn't.

@spryt33 I'm afread your out of luck as there will be no more conserts as Frankie died a few years ago.

I love this man! Not to be rude but I kept waiting for Lucy to come out? Her & Desi did that number on I Love Lucy and it was hysterical?

[markalson1938]

@taffynan Yes I remember that show,it was very funny. But Desi did not have the voice for this type of song or did Lucy look anything like the woman in this clip.

Thumbs up if Mafia 2 brought you here.

He was my Dad's favorite singer and this was his song. He died when I was very young so I never knew him but he wrote about him in the letters he sent to my Mother. I met some men stationed with him over 50 years prior and they told me he sang Frankie's songs while he worked in the motor pool. I wrote and conversed with Frankie before he died. He was so thankful that he had such an impact on my Father. I will always love this song as it tells a very special story in my life of two special men.

This was my very first record purchase (on a 78 vinyl disk) back in Nov 1951. I was nearly 17 and in love with my first girlfriend (who was nearly 23 !) and so this invokes great memories of those long gone days. That first love of mine is now no more - but this song, by this great and powerful singer, brings her back to life every time I hear it. Thanks.

I was fighting in Korea when this song hit me. I really did not see this but merely heard it. Its been with me ever since. Last nite, in a melancholy mood, I remembered it and am so happy that someone posted this particular version. Its the one I remember and am still thrilled by it.
