I'll rmemeber him best for singing the theme to Blazing Saddles.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

"Rawhide" was another good theme. And although Tex Ritter sang it in the movie, Laine did a terrific version of the song from "High Noon." No wonder Mel Brooks wanted him to sing BZ. I'll also remember him for a beautiful song, "I Believe," as well as "Jezebel." I'm really not old enough to remember so much of his music, except for the fact that I know someone who has 16mm prints of his old tv show.  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.
