Oh whoa whoa whoa, that s my desire
And dance till break of day, that s my desire
In our rendezvous, i love you so
That s my desire, pressing on mine
that s my desire
and gaze into your eyes divine
to go where gypsies play
That s my desire, to spend one night with you
and reminisce with you
Oh whoa whoa whoa, that s my desire, just when it s time to go
I love you so, pressing on mine
And dance till break of day, that s my desire
to spend one night with you
oh whoa whoa whoa
Pressing on mine, that s my desire My, oh whoa whoa whoa
And gaze into your eyes divine, oh whoa whoa whoa, that s my desire
And dance till break of day, in our rendezvous
Oh whoa whoa whoa, oh whoa whoa whoa
And reminisce with you, oh whoa whoa whoa That's, that s my desire
Oh whoa whoa whoa, that s my desire
To hear you whisper low, oh whoa whoa whoa That's, oh whoa whoa whoa
You could tell by the reaction and emotion on his face how humbled and appreciative he was at the response and ovation the audience gave him. He felt truly blessed.
Everyone has their favorites, I guess it depends on what period in time your taste in music began. You like his early jazz best. Me I like his Pop 50's such as "Hummingbird", "Jezibel", "Wild Goose" "Black Lace" and "The Greater Sin" That's the music I grew up in but that's just me.
My Dad was a nightclub entertainer in the 50s and 60s ... he was an "imitator" and Frankie Laine was his favorite. Listening to this is like listening to my Dad. I really miss him.
Frankie Laine sung many songs ,I have Some of his records in my collection of "old,but great"song,such as "To each his own".Thanks for sharing ,Mr. Laine was indeed a Great Performer,and singer!!!!!Its always a Pleasure to listen to him sing!!!! March 13 , 2020
After Frankie brought "Desire" out in 1946, many singers recorded this song but I don't think any were better
than Frankie's. But I think this 1957 Columbia recording with Paul Weston Orch. was the best.
My mother sang at the Apollo Theater many many moons ago, she won first place and a man by the name of Frank LoVecchio took second place, my mother remembers Franks mom smacking him across the face because he lost, if anyone remembers how the old Italians were you will understand that. Lol my mother and Frank started singing together in the Stamford Connecticut area, maybe New York also, I have no idea, it was way before I was thought of. one day Frank tells my mother he wants to go on the road and try to make it big, my grandmother tells my mother, you a no go with a the show people! so Frank went on and obviously became Frankie laine. pretty cool story. my mother in two months will be a hundred years old, she still goes out almost every night, and doesn't take one medication. and believe it or not, yes, she still sings, right in tune also. she's a tank! Lol
I too love this song, bt it is not my favorite Frankie song. It was "Wild Goose" and "Humminbird" that made me a life long Laine fan. The rest was just frosting on the cake.
