		Though his influence proved less durable than his record sales, Frankie Laine was one of the most popular vocalists of the 1950s, swinging jazz standards as well as half a dozen Western movie themes of the time with his manly baritone.
		Frankie Laine's Columbia career saw him move toward husky country & western pop with arrangements and orchestra conduction by Mitch Miller, the vocal-pop impresario who produced some of the most schmaltzy pop music of the 1950s (and recorded it as well, in a series of Singalong with Mitch Miller LPs).
		Frankie Laine succumbed to Miller's machinations soon enough, and even though his debut Columbia single, "Jezebel"/"Rose, Rose, I Love You" was a double-sided Top Five hit, he never again reached number one in America.

		The first disc is "Frankie's Greatest Hits," the second contains his more country and more Western (in his case, two separate categories) tracks, and the third (where the bulk of the later recordings is found) featured romantic and philosophical songs.
		These categories are also roughly chronological, so one has the sense of hearing Laine grow and age through the years while hearing his most familiar recordings and many of his best.
		Short of the much more expensive Bear Family box sets, this is the most comprehensive Frankie Laine collection available, and it is certainly the broadest.
