May 4, 2023 Records of the Day

Frankie Laine had a career that lasted 75 years. He had numerous hits beginning with “That’s My Desire” in 1947. More hits followed like “Jezebel” and “Moonlight Gambler,” which can now sell for $40.00 with picture sleeve.” But many baby-boomers associate him with singing the theme from the TV show, “Rawhide.” Frankie Laine’s highly energized style beginning in the 1940’s was a hint of what was to dominate the 1950’s Rock N Roll. In 1947 Mercury Records issued the 78 “Mam’selle” by Frankie Laine. The picture disc version, as seen on the right, can get you $750.00 today. “Mam’selle” by Frankie Laine is just one of the picture discs you’ll find listed on our “Picture Discs Price Guide.” It’s available in the left hand column.
