<P> His 1946 recording of "That's My Desire" remains a landmark record signaling the end of both the dominance of the big bands and the crooning styles favored by contemporary Dick Haymes and others . Often called the first of the blue - eyed soul singers, Laine's style cleared the way for many artists who arose in the late 1940s and early 1950s, including Kay Starr, Tony Bennett, and Johnnie Ray . </P> <P> I think that Frank probably was one of the forerunner of...blues, of...rock' n' roll . A lot of singers who sing with a passionate demeanor--Frank was and is definitely that . I always used to love to mimic him with' That's...my...desire .' And then later Johnnie Ray came along that made all of those kind of movements, but Frank had already done them .--Patti Page </P> <P> Throughout the 1950s, Laine enjoyed a second career singing the title songs over the opening credits of Hollywood films and television shows, including Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, 3: 10 to Yuma, Bullwhip, and Rawhide . His rendition of the title song for Mel Brooks's 1974 hit movie Blazing Saddles won an Oscar nomination for Best Song, and on television, Laine's featured recording of "Rawhide" for the series of the same name became a popular theme song . </P> <P> You can't categorize him . He's one of those singers that's not in one track . And yet and still I think that his records had more excitement and life into it . And I think that was his big selling point, that he was so full of energy . You know when you hear his records it was dynamite energy .--Herb Jeffries </P>
