Paul,
You beat me to the punch on that one.
Frankie Laine had the definitive versions of “Jezebel,” “Ghost Riders In the Sky,” “You Gave Me a Mountain”–and “Lucky Old Sun” among others, along with all the great cowboy movie themes! (And he also had the hits with “Your Cheatin’ Heart,” “Rambling Man” and “Hey Good Lookin’”

Funny thing is a lot of people think Laine was country singer, but his hits were all on the pop charts and Nashville never accepted him.

What !! No Jezebel by Frankie Laine – a huge pop hit in the early 1950s ? The Gene Vincent version !

As much as I like Chely’s song,Frankie’s song is THE Jezebel. Frankie Laine was definitely the “King of Dramatic Interpretation”

Erik said: “It is indeed fascinating how you manage to bring up “Odumbo” in every single thread, Rick.”

Yes, I’m just trying to be consistent and predictable…(lol)

I’d say my favorite Jezebel in country music is the gal that Loretta Lynn is directing “Fist City” to! Now that’s the true country way to deal with such a situation! (lol)

PS – I thought “defenestrate” was what Odumbo has been doing to our military forces! Well, he has been throwing our military weapons programs out the window, so I guess it fits! That’s just freakin’ awesome…

Funny, Kelly!

Thanks for fitting “defenestrate” into your intro.:) It’s not used nearly enough.

Jon,

The great Marcus Hummon co-wrote it with Rascal Flatts’ Jay DeMarcus…

Jon, every time I try to bring a gospel album into my home, it bursts into flames. It’s the weirdest thing…
