Frankie Laine - The Wayward Wind

In 1956 Gogie Grant had a hugh Hit with this song and Tex Ritter also had a great recording of it. Then in 1968 Frankie recorded it for his "Take Me Back To Laine Country" Album. His is a very different version of the song done in a slow western style.

This is just beautiful, wonderful voice, but I prefer Slim Whitman's version. Thank you

[markalson1938]

@rosamcgoum ToEach his own, me I perfer Gogi Grant's hit version. Slim has a to of a high pitched voice for my taste. It sounds strange coming from such a big man.

[markalson1938]

@momdclark4  I'm your age and my son and grandson are both Kiss fans but to me no one was better than Frankie but on this song I perfer Gogi.

This is a song that no matter how many times I hear it, the melody is a totally haunting one. I can sit at my computer and hear the melody and the words, just in my mind. It is amazing how many of the old songs the brain remembers and it is totally awesome to type in the name or song and be able to see and hear it on You Tube. It brings so much sunshine and happiness to each and every one of my days. Thank you so very much. God bless.

I am 20 years old. I like songs today, but I love the old stuff way more. They had more soul back then or something. I like Gogi's version the best, I heard it the first time around 99, I was only 9, I was with my uncle in his old ford truck. It was a tape he actually gave my sister. But i think, now, I love it better than her. But it is sad to think, this will be about 110 years old in 2076 when I am 86 years old. Hope it is around for a good while longer though.

this song was the number 1 hit when i was born that year

[beargreenpath]

Super great song !!! I remember on my Crystal Gayle record I would play it over and over.

@rosamcgoum I understand, for me they all make me dream., and relax. I n my country I cant get CD's of these great

singers so I have to be contented with You Tube music. Thank you You Tube. I really never heard Gogi Grant's version, I'll look for it. None of the modern singers make me feel so great when I "try" to listen to their music. Of course they are some with talent, but not my taste. Slim is big in his old age but when young

I think he was "slim".I'm 62.As you say To each his own.good

Loved this blast from the past. I have loved Mr. Laine's voice and music from my elementary school days, as I do now.
