The Golden Years is a superb demonstration of Laine’s ability in each of these roles. It complements That’s My Desire (CD AJA 5383), which took the story up to 1951. Here, after some splendidly jazzy late 40s performances (I May Be Wrong, West End Blues . . .), we have a cornucopia of Frankie Laine’s most popular recordings, including no fewer than 30 chart hits, mostly from 1952/5. Seven of them were million sellers: Sugarbush (with Doris Day), High Noon, I Believe, Your Cheatin’ Heart, The Kid’s Last Fight, Cool Water and A Woman In Love. In all, nine reached No.1, No.2 or No.3. Golden years indeed! His highly successful record partnership with Jo Stafford is marked by 5 great duets (In The Cool, Cool, Cool Of The Evening, Settin’ The Woods On Fire . . .), and he finishes in a jazz setting with three terrific numbers recorded with trumpeter Buck Clayton and his star-studded band (That Old Feeling . . .).
Personnel: Frankie Laine (vocals); Doris Day, Jimmy Boyd , Jo Stafford, The Four Lads (vocals); Bobby Hackett, Buck Clayton (trumpet).
