When people nowadays say that Elvis was the first white guy to sound black, I have to shake my head what can you do? At the time of 'That's My Desire' 1947 they were saying that I was the only white guy around who sounded black.

More quotes by Frankie Laine
I fool around with guitar and I can fool around on piano. I don't really play either instrument although I can play a couple of songs on guitar. You don't really need to be able to play to compose. There are many composers and arrangers who work out of their heads.
