ABOUT THE RECORD
Frankie Laine made a commercial comeback with the gold-selling Moonlight Gambler during the winter of 1956-1957, his first Top Ten hit since 1953. With the further impetus being the success of the then-recent Johnny Mathis compilation, Johnny's Greatest Hits, Columbia Records assembled Frankie Laine's Greatest Hits, a 12-track album leading off with Moonlight Gambler" and also featuring Laine's biggest hits of the early '50s on Columbia, Rose, Rose, I Love You, Jealousy (Jalousie), High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me), and I Believe. The label eschewed Laine's duet hits with Jo Stafford, Doris Day, and Jim Boyd, and also ignored some Top Ten hits in favor of re-recordings of two of the singer's biggest hits during his Mercury Records period, That's My Desire and That Lucky Old Sun, in addition to a couple of lesser hits and a couple of non-hits.
