Singer Frankie Laine has died aged 93.
He had 18 weeks at no 1 in the charts in 1953 with I Believe, the longest total run ever--though he did it in 3 stints so Bryan Adams' Everything I Do beats it in number of consecutive weeks.

Ian, do you mean to tell me that Brian Adams isn't still No1? _________________ Geddon

Sixteen Tons and the Rawhide theme were much better IMHO, but this sacharine dirge keeps getting dug out and played as a tribute. _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |

In all seriousness, Did He also do the theme to "Champion the Wonder Horse"? _________________ Geddon
