1991 Eurovision winner: Carola 'Captured By A Lovestorm'
With no apologies whatsoever ... one of the greatest nights of my life ... had backed this song for 3 weeks leading up to the contest ... EVERY horse race bet was doubled up with Carola's 'Captured By A Lovestorm' ... I had no idea how much I actually had staked until I added the betting slips up after she had won ... I had put on about £900 and I won just over £12,000 ! As is usual for the Eurovision winner, Carola stepped up and sang the song again - in flawless English - and you know what? It was even beCollected in cruisedog's videos Feb 21, 2010 -

Little Richard - Good Golly Miss Molly
Little Richard does the 1956 12 bar blues number with John Goodman (King Ralph 1991) ... The Valiants actually released a faster version first, but Little Richard got the hit. Good, but not as good as Jerry Lee, my main man ... what do you think ... ?Collected in cruisedog's videos Sep 12, 2008 -
Suzi Quatro - 48 Crash
Rock chick smash of '73 though most people remember her '74 hit 'Devil Gate Drive' better ... pulse still quickens watching sexy Suzi in her tight black bike leathers ... rrrrrrrrrrCollected in cruisedog's videos Sep 10, 2008 -
Jerry Lee Lewis - Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On (1957)
The man himself at his early best (before the frame filled out and the hair got outta control) ... this one's specially for you Manpig ... oh, and one more thing ... eat your heart out Elton ... this is what you could never do ... take it now, Jerry Lee ...Collected in cruisedog's videos Sep 7, 2008 -
My Rifle, My Pony and Me - Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson
From the Howard Hawk's film 'Rio Bravo' (1959) sung by the late, great crooner himself, Dean Martin and accompanied vocally and on guitar by Ricky Nelson. We've heard some really great western exponents thus far, but for sheer natural range and tone, few can live with the honey'd drawl of sweet Deano ...Collected in cruisedog's videos Sep 6, 2008 -
The Alamo（1960） - The Green Leaves of Summer
Beautiful and evocative soundtrack from the original film. If Santa Anna had resisted (against the sound advice of his senior officers) his wild impulse to storm the Alamo at dawn on Sunday March 6th 1836 (12th day of the siege) history would have much-diluted its relevance. A third of the 1800 assault troops perished in the pointless attack - with no relief force available and food and water exhausted, the defenders were in a desperate situation - Up to 250 of the defending force died in the 90 minute attaCollected in cruisedog's videos Sep 6, 2008 -
John McEnroe - You Can Not Be Serious
Wimbledon 1981 ... and the catchphrase that is even more well-known than "I'll be back!" is Bjorn - no, sorry, I mean born ... McEnroes fury at the umpire was justified ... no, don't interrupt me and say it was 'unsporting' ... since when has ANY sport been that? The umpire got it wrong on this occasion, but it made no difference to the greatest serving left hander the world is likely to see ever again ... as McEnroe cruised to a straight sets win. In the days when there were characters and not robots ... aCollected in cruisedog's videos Sep 5, 2008 -
OK Corral - Frankie Laine
OK Frankie, you've got me on the ropes now ... reluctantly, I have to admit that this Corral is okay ... Burt and Kirk were mean, brooding and unforgettably magnificent under John Sturges directing. We'll probably never see their like again and remember, they both did all their own stunts - no namby pamby stunt men stand ins for them ... OK Frankie, take it away ...Collected in cruisedog's videos Sep 2, 2008 -
Cowboy Songs 1
This is a cartoon classic medley of western tunes. See how many of the 12 songs you can identify,,,, the killer line: 'Everyone's a critic' and the Mexican film quote: "We don't need no stinking badges" (The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre [1948] ... that'll be the day when they get me with a quote...) and one more thing - big apology to Frankie Laine - forgot he did Blazing Saddles ... even though he thought it was a serious western he was recording for ... what a wally ...Collected in cruisedog's videos Sep 2, 2008 -
3:10 to Yuma (1957) soundtrack
At last, Frankie Laine triumphs! NO ONE can do this song any better ... and this from his greatest critic ... a long line of disasters include: Mule Train (don't call me Frankie, I'll call you) ... High Noon (sorry Frankie but Tex Ritter destroys you with his original 78 rpm recording) ... Rawhide (again eclipsed by Vaughn Monroe) ... Jezebel (mediocre) and of course the previously posted video of They Call the Wind Maria reveals yet another: 'Nice try Frankie, but no touchdown' ... but here in glorious blaCollected in cruisedog's videos Aug 31, 2008 -
They Call the Wind Maria
The best rendition of this song from Paint Your Wagon (1969) sung by Harv Presnell (born 1933) not many people know this ... poor Frankie Laine tried it and it sounds bad when you hear old Harv ... Frankie also only just got away with 'Ghost Riders In The Sky' when compared to Vaughn Monroe ... but Frankie DID have a classic which he definitely comes out best with ... and that will follow ... trust me, I'm an expert ...Collected in cruisedog's videos Aug 31, 2008 -

Ghost Riders In The Sky - Vaughn Monroe
The daddy of them all ... makes Johnny Cash sound second rate ... even the Blues Brothers version is found wanting against the outstanding Vaughn Monroe (1911-1973) American singer, trumpeter and big band leader ... remarkable voice ... enjoyCollected in cruisedog's videos Aug 20, 2008 -
