What a voice

Frankie Laine who recently died at age 93 was a man whose music I have never heard...until NPR played part of a song.

Although I am more drawn to the female voice, what little I heard of Mr. Laine stopped me in my tracks. A voice like buttah.

Same here. The only song I knew from him was the theme from the TV series Rawhide (showing my age here). Completely different from that cut on NPR. I had the same reaction. What a voice! I was driving around doing errands and it stopped me, too.

Funny thing, last Sunday I was just pulling vinyl and listening to various LPs and I played Frankie Laine's hits. On Tuesday he died. Just a lucky appreciation of a great voice before he left us.
