Quote - Frankie was known best for his recording of High Noon, and probably second for this one.

Although, my personal preferences would be for this one over High Noon. I don't believe he sang it in the movie though, although I could be wrong there.
I believe there will be many others that will have this running through their minds if they listen to it. Picked this one because it's pretty to watch.
Actually, a lot of the youngers -do- know Frankie.....he did do the theme to 'Blazing Saddles' , after all (and what a stroke of genius...or deviousness....it was of Mel Brooks to let him think this was a straight up cowboy flick).
And I'm pretty eclectic when it comes to music; take the champagne stuff (ghu does it make you want to drink), the whiny-assed pseudo-gospel country crap (and living 90 minutes east of Nashville sure makes that opinion popular), and the unparsable, repetitive gangsta and any other illegible vein of rap and put them in a bag at the bottom of the Marianas Trench and I'll listen to nearly anything.
.....Although I do admit to loving to pull out the stuff from the early 60's like the Ventures, getting the kiddies to scoff at the 'simplicity' of the arranging, then shoving their faces down in the fact that back in them days, no one had synths; all that was done with basic instruments and skill. The three and a half decades of concrete slab RSI isn't any fun, but wallowing in the Old & Devious usually beats Young & Dumb sure can be..... :P
