One thing I love about this video is the utter confidence that Laine exudes during the performance. He's at the top of his game and he knows it. Listen to that final "Je - e - ze - e - be e e e el." Pavarotti couldn't have done it better.

14 years later, I agree. 😁

Frankie's powerful voice and his clarity of diction his perfect timing made him one of the best singers of all time.

Even though he sold millions of records ___ had a hit tv show __made many guest appearances ___ I still feel he was underrated as a vocalist. He was and is a wonderful vocalist .

It’s sad that he felt that he had to drop his Italian last name to be a success! Another gifted Italian singer! Wonderful voice!

One of the coolest vocalists I've ever heard, he's so into it as well. He knew he made gold

This guy could sing anything that’s what makes him so good. Everyone’s favourite Italian-American western balladeer.

I first heard this song in 1964 when I was five. My dad had the 45 with it on and he would play for me a couple times a week. So I listen to remind me of my parents who are now with God and Frankie.

How bizarre. I just googled the words of this song (the ones I could remember) because my father used to play this as well when I was maybe 6-7 yrs old ..early 60s ... and it pops into my head as an ear worm every now and then and I finally decided I want to hear the whole song and learn who sang it. Brings back happy memories of my dad for me.

Still one of my favorite artists after all these years. His natural talent came from inside, not enhanced by technological devices.

brilliant .. tells the story with fire and passion

My father introduced me to Frankie Laine over 50 years ago. I love the songs and the smoothness of this man. I also love singing many of the songs he did. Beautiful!

Frankie was one of a kind, no one sounded like him and no one sang like him. Many tried but just couldn't bring it off. There will never be another like him.

The great Frankie never be another like him in my lifetime!

jezebel is my most favorite song in all the classic music

Frankie Elaine has voice and style that NO one can duplicated or compare to. He is a ONCE in a Life time ALL Time Classic Entertainer and Singer that will Always Be Remembered and Admired by His Fans. I became a Frankie Elaine fan as a young child and today at age 67 I remain one of his faithful fans - I do regret that I never had the chance to see him perform in person. Thank you Frankie for all the years of such awesome entertainment and may you rest in eternal happiness & peace with God.

Hello Maria, How are you doing?

Born 1940...Remember Frankie in the early 50's, and this song along with many others. Can't count the number of times l and buddies imitated him singing. This is my first time seeing this video...Oh the memories!

What a SINGER:):):):):):):) R.I.P Frankie. You're music will always be ageless & timeless!!!! See ya in heaven!!!!

I first see Frankie Laine at the London Palladium in 1952 and bought most of his records when I was a teenager

This was one of my faves way back when! What a great voice Frankie had and I liked all of his songs too.

What class, what style, what orchestration, what choreography, what a voice and what a performance!

Powerful song. I seem to remember this clop from early TV. At any rate there were dancers dancing to "Jezebel". And yet I remember it 70 years later! Wonderful stuff.🙂

Of course I meant clip, not the rude-sounding clop!

When I first heard him I was around 15 years old And yes on a Radio , , always loved is voice .

What a huge luck that this video exists. Can't take an eye off

This is a fabulous song. I remember it from the fifties, but didn't know it was as old as 1951.

Hello Pauline, How are you doing?

My late mom used to play this song often. I already liked some of Frankie's songs.

My late Dad's idol, my father use to sing his songs in pubs in London, little did he think he would meet him one day, but he wrote go Frankley and Frankley invited him to stay and he did , means more to me now than it did 20 years ago

You are so right. Frankie didn't have the most beautiful voice, but what he had was a strong manly voice with lots of style and emotion That few back then and none today could come close too. When Frankie sung no one had to tell you who was singing. There will never be another like him.

Hello Nancy, How are you doing?

One of my favourite singers

My first family dog was named Jezebel. My step dad would try and sing this song to her sometimes. Well, he was no Frankie Laine. I am sure her name came from this song. She was such a good dog! Fond memories. Great song!

It's great to know that Frankie has fans all over the world. I have heard from fans on every corner of the world .

He was my Dad's favorite singer and this was his song. He died when I was very young so I never knew him but he wrote about him in the letters he sent to my Mother. I met some men stationed with him over 50 years prior and they told me he sang Frankie's songs while he worked in the motor pool. I wrote and conversed with Frankie before he died. He was so thankful that he had such an impact on my Father. I will always love this song as it tells a very special story in my life of two special men.

WOW That was my favorite song when I was 15. Took me 60 years to see him singing and heard HIM again here! What a gay, what a stile, what a voice. Got goose pumps once and again and again. God bless u markalson. KZread is a real time machine. Thanks. Got my teen feeling love back!

A master at work. Gee could more bands today use a singer like Frankie Laine. Well done video from that time also. Enjoyed

What a voice! What singing mastery! I was born later (1953) but was knocked-out by this when I discovered it in brother-in-law's collection 20 years later. I like various styles across all the decades, but understand the comments about how artists dressed-up in the old days. Glad there are no obscene pointless insults on this site (well, at the top of the list anyway)

I am 70 and remember him well! We were discussing Jezebel in our Bible study and remembered this song! 😄 i was just a child, but nuts about Frankie Lane.

Thankyou There isn't another poular singer that comes anywhere near this great mans talent

Me agrada esta musica, gracias Frankie.

Loved this song since I first heard it !! My Dad worked with Frankie, He was a gentleman !

I remember this LP as a child in the early 70's. I didn't know who Frankie Lane was, but I had goose-bumps hearing this song. It was only years later that I found out he was the singer. I've been in love since...

Great singer with a unique voice, style and performance...thans for posting.

nicely done!!!!!!

Uno dei più grandi cantanti di tutti i tempi!!

Frankie has always been one of my favorites.

Thanks so much for posting this live performance Markalson, just an amazing performance, and the best version of this one that I've ever heard. Terrific singer, and a great song.

there you have it backwards, the song was writen in 1951 by wayne Shanklin who gave it to Frankie wanting him to record it. which he did as his first hit at Columbia. In 1952 him and his wife Nan went to Paris and had dinner with Edith Piaf at the night club where she was performing. Edith got up and sang Jezebel with new French wording later she recorded it.

Absolut Amazing Voice timeless

What a great video. I have been a fan of Frankie Laine ever since he made the record Thats My Desire. Thanks for the Video. I seen him in person in Framingham Mass in 1961, I can't think name of the place, but it is not there anymore It was owned by Vaughn Monroe. I just thought of the name it was Monticellos. He also danced with my girlfriend. He was a great singer and a great person.

Love it! Such passion --- music with the implied analogy of a toreador facing a bull!

His voice is better here than in later studio recordings, at least for this song.

im 19 years old and im digging this song soooooooooo much. Wish i could go to his consert. Much better than that crap they call music these days.

One of pop music's great voices at its best. note its distinctive tone and timbre and its range and power

Fabulous! Thanks for posting!

Wow that was really as awesome, loved Frankie Laine voice. Cool early video.

I like the elegant and balletic dancing. Perfect accompaniment to the powerful song.

GENE VINCENT a 56 Rock n Roll singer covered this song in the mid 50's but not to the greatness of Frankie''s version nobody could have.

Frankies high noon is the first record i ever remembering hearing. I was about 5. He still one of my favourite stars.

Frankie Laine had a soaring voice. He used all of himself in this one. I miss him. Please listen to the Wild Goose, too.

Hello Nancy, How are you doing?

Excellent. Always loved this song.

One of my earliest memories is of this coming over the loudspeakers at the Festival of Britain .

Yes I was born in 1938 and I became a Frankie Laine fan the year that you were born. As a 10 year old boy songs like "Mule Train", Cry Of The Wild Goose" set my musical taste. Over the next few years the likes of "Black Lace", "Jezebel" "Humming Bird" and "Your Cheatin' Heart" set this teanager's taste in music for ever. Then came Rock N' Roll what a bummer.

What a great singer. Few of them around any more.

FRANKIE LAINE COMO NOS DELEITA CON SUS CANCIONES DE AYER HOY Y SIEMPRE

Not only the singing is amazing, but the performance! I mean his stage presence, such charisma!

I used to listen to my uncle's records on Gramma's phonograph...with the "cobra" stylus arm. I was maybe six or eight. This was one of my favorites. I used to belt out "Jezebe-e-e-e-lle" as little girl. My parents were appalled, but Gramma thought it was hilarious!

He looks he's being so natural,he's impressive, I love it. J.c.

Desi Arnaz in ''I Love Lucy'' brought me here, that performance is magnificent!

Your right, He was the first Blue eyed Soul singer and at the same time the first Western singer from Chicago plus he sung with a best that would be passed down to the early Rockers. Plus no one could put more emotion into a song than Frankie.

You have been buying his records even longer than I have. I started in 1957 after I joined the army and was able to buy a used record player. Growing up we didn't have any records or a way to play them. But I was a fan since 1949. Now I think I have everything he ever recorded.
