Our Take

Frankie Laine, oh Frankie Laine, the crooner with a voice as smooth as silk yet with the power to knock you off your feet. The Hits Collection 1947-1961 is a delightful journey through the musical career of one of the most underrated talents in the industry.

From the soft and tender ballads to the powerful and anthemic numbers, Laine showcases his versatility and range in this compilation of hits. Tracks like "Jezebel" and "Mule Train" transport you back to a time when music was bold, brash, and unapologetically catchy.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows in Laine's world. "I Believe" is a hauntingly beautiful track that showcases the pain and struggle hidden behind the bravado and swagger. It's a reminder that even the toughest of men have a soft side.

Throughout the album, Laine's voice shines like a beacon in the darkness, guiding you through the highs and lows of love and life. His passion and emotion are palpable in every note, making you feel like he's singing directly to you.

Overall, The Hits Collection 1947-1961 is a masterclass in musical storytelling. Frankie Laine may not be a household name like Sinatra or Presley, but his talent and charisma are undeniable. Give this album a spin and let yourself be swept away by the magic of Frankie Laine. It's an experience you won't soon forget.
