Frankie had sung country songs, but not in a country way or so The Bug Wigs in Nashville thought. So he goes to Nashville in 1986 to record a real Country Album. From this album is the song "Green Green Grass Of Home"

In his day he was as good as anyone. He was still good at an advanced age.

Thanks, a great rendition. Frankie put so much feeling into every song he sung, made every version of a song 'special' I used to correspond with him. He was a lovely genuine man, not just an entertainer. He had a faith, a heart .....and a voice! Pete 'Kiwi'Keegan

@shilo39 Porter Wagner recorded it first back in 1964 but the biggest hit version of this song was by Tom Jones. Frankie's version was only on one of his ABC Albums in 1968.

The first version I ever heard was Jerry Lee Lewis and I think Tom Jones done it after him. It was the time Jerry switched from Rock n Roll , his Rock Fans never liked him signing C W at his Shows. Just shows you what those Nashville Big Wigs know about Hit Recoeds *Frankie sang many great Western Songs .Most of the Big Films were all the greater for Frankie singing over the Titles.

Elvis, who also recorded this song, was said to have wept when he listened to it for the first time.

In the mid-seventies, FL appeared at a club north of Toronto (Beverly Hills Motor Hotel), very near the airport. I caught his shows a couple or 3 years apart. He slayed!!! After, the Toronto paper (Star or Telegram??) commented on his excellence. One comment was that some of that days' artists, like Tom Jones and Englebert, could take a lesson from 'the master'. One wouldn't say that from this particular recording...but his SHOW back then, when he was old and fat. Oh, my!!!
