We
have reached the half way point of 2010, so we kick off the last half
with our 4th of July Independence Day Celebration. Today the US
is witnessing many challenges, both personal and international. We are
hopeful and positive that we will overcome these many obstacles. These
are the times we can enjoy what Frankie Laine's music brings to us.
Good memories from "Memories in Gold" can help us recall better times
in our lives. Hits, like "Rawhide", "Sunny Side Of The Street",
"Shine", "Jezebel", "Jealousy", "Moonlight Gambler", "Mule Train", "You
Gave Me A Mountain", "Cry Of The Wild Goose", "I Believe", "That Lucky
Old Sun", "High Noon", "That's My Desire" and of course, "We'll Be
Together Again". Remembering where you were and what his music meant to
you at that time, is truly amazing, and very very personal. The release
from the hard reality of our day to day chores is lightened through the
music of Frankie Laine. "Team Frankie Laine" receives it's
inspiration through comments from you, and people all over the world.
We are always surprised from your descriptions of heart
felt hits, and evan obscure songs, recorded by Frankie Laine. Songs
that are connected to loving memories bring back warm feelings as you
listen to his music. Please check the CD's and DVD's available
for you on our Giftshop page, and bring back your "Memories in Gold".

It's
March 30th 2010 and we're celebrating Frankie Laine's 97th birthday
here in San Diego's Little Italy. As we honor our famous singer, actor,
entertainer, we are presenting Frankie Laine with the very first San
Diego Little Italy Legend Star Plaque. Hundreds of friends and fans of
our super star attended our salute to Mr. Rhythm. Team Frankie Laine
and the Little Italy Association worked well together to make this
event successful. The City of San Diego allowed us to block off Date
Street in the heart of Little Italy, and set up a band stand for
Frankie Laine's own Musical Director Benny Hollman and his award
winning big band. Benny Hollman, also a member of Team Frankie Laine,
was in charge of the musical program. The crowd was entertained
by several guest singers performing memorable Frankie Laine hits. The
program began at 10:AM and concluded at 12 Noon. While the program was
in full steam, adjacent to the band stand, Mary-Jo Coombs and Barbara
Marino, Frankie Laine Team members, were handling the Frankie Laine
products table. Once again the Nestle company furnished us with enough
Baby Ruth Candy Bars to gift everyone. Remembering when the Baby Ruth
Candy Bar sustained Frankie Laine during his hard times. Mary-Jo and
Barbara would answer questions about Frankie's life, his music and his
legendary career. As they made available his products, they were told
many stories about the relationships that his loyal fans emotionally
remembered. After the last song was performed, Jezebel, the musical
portion of the program was complete. Jimmy Marino, a Team Frankie Laine
member, directed everyone to convene in front of Frankie Laine's
favorite restaurant in Little Italy, Trattoria Fantastica, for the
Legend Star Plaque presentation. Frankie's long time friend, Father
Joe, was first to speak. Father Joe got a call from God on his cell
phone saying that Frankie was fine and singing better then ever. As
Marcia LoVecchio and Jimmy Marino revealed the Legend Star Plaque,
Father Joe sprinkled Holy water and blessed the Plaque. Jimmy
introduced Joe Busalacchi, owner of Trattoria Fantastica, who spoke
about his 20 year relationship with Frankie Laine. Marco LiMandri,
Chairman of the Little Italy Association was next to speak, followed by
San Diego Councilmen Kevin Faulconer who presented a Proclamation
making March 30th Frankie Laine day in San Diego. Jimmy read a
congratulatory letter from the Mayor of San Diego, Jerry Sanders, and
presented it to Marcia. In conclusion, Jimmy thanked everyone for
honoring and supporting another successful salute to our beloved
Frankie Laine. Marcia then thanked Team Frankie Laine and the
Little Italy Association for honoring Frankie Laine with the first San
Diego Little Italy Legend Star Plaque.
Stay tuned for the next
Frankie Laine Celebration, we're hoping for a huge surprise. Be sure to
