How did this Jazz Singer from Chicago

get to be known as a Cowboy Singer?

The younger generation relates him to movie western theme songs. Well here's another one.

Frankie didn't sing it in the 1959 movie by the same name,(Marty Robbins did), but he did sing it on TV at the 1960 Academy Awards Program. Then he put it on his

"Hell Bent For Leather" Album. No matter how he got to be a cowboy, he was good at it.

2:01 - wish you'd take that image of the woman and man and child hanging from a tree off. It's horrible and nothing to do with the song.

With all due respect, Marty Robbins version is a googleplex better than this merry go round version.....Marty's has heart, soul and passion, while this sounds like Barney the dinosaur

With this song, Marty's version was best. The arrangement was all wrong for the song.

@zilkinson1 I think this Jazz Singer from Chicago made a lot of new fans with the Album "Hell Bent For Leather" It also proved that you didn't have to be born in the South or th West to be able to sing "Country And Western".

@MikeWhiskyTango Yes, Frankie was one of a kind and always was. That is the reason it took him so long to make it to the top. He couldn't make it with the Big Bands of the 30;s & 40's as he didn't blend in to their way of playing music, he wasn't a Crooner and sang with to much passion. It took him 17 years of struggle and was in his mid thirties when he rose to the top.

There are lots of people who can sing in the world, but can they convey the 'atmosphere' of the story behind the lyrics? NO, not like Frankie.
