A memorable voice---no more

[Pervert]

Have to say I'm surprised----thought he'd died decades ago

[Ace]

You squeezing the death hags that are Steve56 and me out of the picture Caractacus?

[BeestonBoy]

Dont really know that much about the fella to be honest. But listen to his voice on raw hide and it is amazing!! But still not a patch on Jake and Elwood!! But one of the last of his generation if not the last

[Pervert]

To be honest, Ace, I'm surprised that the Fisher Brothers didn't beat me to it.

I had heard of him but "Rawhide" is the only song I knew but didn't know he made.

[steve56]

heard "Rawhide" sat afternoon on a 1960 cd comp i bought off ebay,still dont know his "Hey Joe" record though?

[andy at handiwork]

Dont forget, he did the rather over the top title song to 'Blazzing Saddles'. Mel Brooks didn't tell him it was a comedy, and Frankie gave it his all thinking it would be a film like 'High Noon'. He took it in good humour apparently, though was very embarrassed at the premiere.

[Steve R]

I'm sorry to say (tempus neminem manet) that I still have a number of his records on shellac.

[Bronson Lee]

MY mum will be gutted, she rated him better than Sinatra Live.

I can remember him back in the 50s he had a great voice and done a great version of ghost riders in the sky !love!
