There are many "original" versions of this song, but as far as I'm concerned, this is THE version. Frankie Laine absolutely made this song, and I remember it well in my childhood.

When I think of the songs on the popular charts 60 years ago and some of what we have to listen to today - well, they just don't make them any more like they used to.

@alger3041 Yes, it's sad what todays kids call music. But there is hope I get many emails from young people today telling me how much they love the music of the past and asking why they can't have this type of music.

I love this music, and (most of) the remarks. Do you happen to be familiar with 'Chinky Butterfly'....it was on an old 78 record I listened to as a kid. I also remember Doris Day's 'Put 'em In a Box and Tie 'em With a Ribbon' about that time. (I thought she sang off-key on that.)

[markalson1938]

@lokotasioux No, I have never heard of the song "Chinky Butterfly" and I looked through several of my referance book and could find nothing on it. If it was out at the same time as Doris's "Put'em In A Box" that would be about 1948 Frankie Laine recorded that song also but was not as good as Day's

Heard this one when I was little - my dad had this record which he played often in his record player. Clicked "thumbs up" and "liked" for 30 points.

[markalson1938]

@felixbautista This song by Frankie was something that was very rare back then, it was a two sided hit. "Rose" charted #3 and on the on the flip side was the great song

"Jezebel" which charted #2. Not many singers ever had a record like that.

in the english version Rose sounds like a eastern prostitute for clap-ridden white sailor..disgraceful

[Dudley1948]

One of Frankie's "gems."

@obnubilate isn't that the whole point of the song?

When i was a child my dad was a rag and bone man, one day he bought home a stuffed mooses head, my mum dint like it so they told me to take it to a shop on the corner from where we lived, they sold junk and antiques, they would not give me any money for it but offered me an old record player with lots of records, i remember only playing 2 of them, Jezebel and Rose Rose i love you, i dint realise it till i clicked your post that they were A and B sides as id forgot, i am 63 thanks for memories.
