美国著名音乐家Frankie Laine 2007年2月6日辞世，享年93岁。Frankie Laine 20世纪50年代就已经为大家熟知。他比较著名的歌曲包括《I Believe》和《Jezebel》等。06年，他还参加了生平最后一场演出，演唱了自己音乐生涯最有影响力的作品《That's My Desire》。他一生中得到过21次金唱片奖，专辑销量达到2亿5千万张。 　　He sang well-known theme songs for many movie Western soundtracks, including 3:10 To Yuma, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, and Blazing Saddles, although his recordings were not charted as a country & western. Laine sang an eclectic variety of song styles and genres, stretching from big band crooning to pop, western-themed songs, gospel, rock, folk, jazz, and blues. He did not sing the soundtrack song for High Noon, which was sung by Tex Ritter, but his own version (with somewhat altered lyrics, omitting the name of the antagonist, Frank Miller) was the one that became a bigger hit, nor did he sing the theme to another show he is commonly associated with—Champion the Wonder Horse (sung by Mike Stewart)—but released his own, subsequently more popular, version. 　　Laine's enduring popularity was illustrated in June 2011, when a TV-advertised compilation called Hits reached No. 16 on the British chart. The accomplishment was achieved nearly 60 years after his debut on the UK chart, 64 years after his first major U.S. hit and four years after his death.
